Purpose: I want have a filter, preferably a button that filters only the employee available today. I would like that boutton to be a slider defaulting on “Working Today” but let the user change that slider to “All” to show all employees. If possible I would like to have another calendar based field that would show the employees working on the day specified.
What I did so far: I created a custom post type called Attendant to which I associated an advance custom field with a “Multi Dates Picker” type . Each record in the custom post type will be associated with that field and it will contain the dates that each attendant will work.
I created a loop item using the custom post type. I bought Ajax Search Pro, I created a Search Instance, to which I associated the custom post type in the search sources. I also created in the Frontend Search Settings an option for custom field.
Results: I associated the elementor post widget to the elementor setup and added the search custom code the page. A search field shows up, but as explained earlier that’s not the purpose of why I’m trying to accomplish. Is it possible to guide me towards my goal?
Hi!
This may require some custom coding in my opinion – all because of the multidate picker. That is a very complex field and I’m not sure if it’s possible to simply filter based on it’s value, as it’s not a single date, but likely an array of date fields.
However, I believe it is very likely possible to create a radio button or even a checkbox type of filter to choose to show between All/Working Today values.
Can you please add temporary FTP and back-end access? I will have to take a direct look at this, as I don’t know how the multidate picker stores the values. Based on the exact setup I will try to suggest a custom code snippet, which would convert the All/Working Today checkbox/radio filter to an actual results filter in the post processing based on the user selection.
Thank you. I added the temporary FTP and back-end access. A radio button is a good compromise, I was initially thinking of even hiding the filter option. Could that configuration be used without Elementor Pro? I was wondering if the combination Blocksy Pro/ Guttenberg could be an option as I am trying to get away from subscription since I will not be the owner of that website once all is done.
The back-end login now works perfectly, thank you! However I can’t connect via FTP, can you please check that as well?
I was able to check the date structure, I believe this should be possible via a custom code snippet. Let me know if you can check the ftp access, and I will test a possible solution.
Pefrect!
I have managed to put together a fairly tiny code snippet, which seems to be working. I have placed it into the code snippet plugin you are using under the name “Ajax Search Pro – Today filter”.
I have also changed the filter to a radio button, with a yes/no option. When “Yes” is clicked, then only results matching todays date should be displayed.
For future reference, here is the custom code, it turned out to be only a few lines:
add_filter('asp_query_args', function($args){ foreach ( $args['post_meta_filter'] as $k => &$filter ) { if ( $filter['key'] !== 'days_worked' ) { continue; } if ( $filter['value'] === 'no' ) { unset($args['post_meta_filter'][$k]); } $filter['value'] = date('Y-m-d'); } return $args; });
