Adjust title of posts in search results

[custompczoneParticipant]

Greetings,

I have a question about editing the title of search results.

Currently, I’m using Advanced custom fields to change how the title of posts appear. Using the code below, an <h2> tag is added to the title of each post that is listed based on the array value.

 <?php $trade_status = get_field('trade_status'); ?>
			  <?php if( in_array('30', $trade_status) ): ?>
                 <h2 class="new">New</h2>
              <?php endif; ?>
              <?php if( in_array('20', $trade_status) ): ?>
                 <h2 class="active">Active</h2>
              <?php endif; ?>
              <?php if( in_array('10', $trade_status) ): ?>
                 <h2 class="closed">Closed</h2>
              <?php endif; ?>
			</div>

Is there any way I can make ajax pro do the same? That is, customize the titles of the posts being displayed based on an ACF value. I believe similar code would be applicable for this if it’s possible.

Thanks a lot,
Adam

Hi,

Yes, that is possible as well via a custom code. Try adding this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory. Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_field_to_results', 10, 1 ); 
function asp_custom_field_to_results( $results ) {
  $custom_field = 'trade_status'; 

  foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) {
    if ($r->content_type != 'pagepost') continue;
    if ( function_exists('get_field') )
        $trade_status  = get_field( $r->id, $custom_field, true ); // ACF support
    else
        $trade_status  = get_post_meta( $r->id, $custom_field, true );
    // Modify the post title to add the meta value
    if ( !empty($trade_status) ) {
      if ( in_array('30', $trade_status) ) {
        $html = '<h2 class="new">New</h2>';
      } else if ( in_array('20', $trade_status) ) {
        $html = '<h2 class="active">Active</h2>';
      } else if ( in_array('10', $trade_status) ) {
        $html = '<h2 class="closed">Closed</h2>';
      } else {
        $html = '';
      }
      $r->title .= $html;
    }
  }
 
  return $results;
}

I did not test this code, but it should be very close to a possible solution.

Hi,

Okay, that is not going to work that way. Instead of that plugin, I would suggest maybe this one instead. This does not require file editing, as you can add the custom code snippets via the plugin back-end. That should very likely do the trick.

Hi,

Thank you, I think there was a minor error within the code, and I also changed the output to display the custom HTML before the title. Please try this one instead.

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_field_to_results', 10, 1 ); 
function asp_custom_field_to_results( $results ) {
  $custom_field = 'trade_status'; 

  foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) {
    if ($r->content_type != 'pagepost') continue;
    if ( function_exists('get_field') )
        $trade_status  = get_field( $custom_field, $r->id, true ); // ACF support
    else
        $trade_status  = get_post_meta( $r->id, $custom_field, true );
    // Modify the post title to add the meta value
    if ( !empty($trade_status) ) {
      if ( in_array('30', $trade_status) ) {
        $html = '<h2 class="new">New</h2>';
      } else if ( in_array('20', $trade_status) ) {
        $html = '<h2 class="active">Active</h2>';
      } else if ( in_array('10', $trade_status) ) {
        $html = '<h2 class="closed">Closed</h2>';
      } else {
        $html = '';
      }
      $r->title = $html . $r->title;
    }
  }
 
  return $results;
}

Thank you x1,000,000 it works perfectly.

You are the bomb. I really appreciate you taking the time to sort this out with me. You truly went above and beyond. OMW to write an A+ review now (if I haven’t already).

Have a great week.

Adam
