Reply To: Filter against custom taxonomy

[Ernest MarcinkoKeymaster]

Good news. If you want to show the taxonomy terms in the result I have a working solution. You will need to open up the plugins/ajax-search-pro/search.php file and go to line 141, where you should see this:

$params = array('data'=>$search['data'], 'options'=>$search['options']);

After this line, instert the following code:

/* Extra for searching custom taxonomies */
function _getAllTaxonomies() {
  $args = array(
    'public'   => true,
    '_builtin' => false
    
  ); 
  $output = 'names'; // or objects
  $operator = 'and'; // 'and' or 'or'
  $taxonomies = get_taxonomies( $args, $output, $operator ); 
  return $taxonomies;
}

function _getLikeTerms($name) {
  $taxonomies = _getAllTaxonomies();
  $terms = array();
  foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy) {
     $terms[$taxonomy] = get_terms($taxonomy, array(
        'orderby' => 'name',
        'name__like' => $name
     ));
  }
  return $terms;
} 

$_like_terms = _getLikeTerms($s);
$_termres = array();

foreach ($_like_terms as $taxonomy=>$terms) {
  foreach ($terms as $term) {
    //var_dump($term);
    $_termo = new stdClass();
    $_termo->id = $term->term_id;
    $_termo->content = "";
    $_termo->title = $term->name;
    $_termo->date  = "";
    $_termo->author = ""; 
    $_termo->image = "";
    $_termo->link = get_term_link( $term, $term->taxonomy );
    
    $_termres[] = $_termo;
  }
}
$allpageposts = array_merge($allpageposts, $_termres);  
/* END  Extra for searching custom taxonomies */

And that’s it. Not sure how efficient this is, but this should work 🙂

Best,
