Front-end filter logic

[willfaulds59]

Setup as attached.

I cannot get the “All of the selected terms must match, exclude unselected (default)” to work as expected.

Setup on WooCommerce products using product_tag taxonomy.

[willfaulds59]

On the Front-End the filters appear as expected.

A single product tagged with TagA, TagB and TagC will however only show when all 3 tags are selected.

I have tried multiple combinations of settings but cannot find the correct settings so that:

TagA selected = only product with TagA are results (ignore other tags).
TagA and TagB selected = only product with TagA AND TagB are results (ignore other tags).

Hi,

Change this option: https://i.imgur.com/Y7Be135.png
By default the unchecked checkboxes are treated as exclusions. This should resolve that.

Thank you Ernest,

This still doesn’t quite give the behaviour I am looking for.

TagA selected = only product with TagA are results (ignore other tags).
TagA and TagB selected = only products with TagA AND TagB are results (ignore other tags).

The settings you suggest give

TagA and TagB selected = any products with TagA or TabB are results

Can you try the third option from that same drop-down? It should be very close to your requirements.

Thank you Ernest!

I swore I had checked that option… but it does seem to be working as I wanted. Perfect.

I have a last question about the theme chooser.
https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/theme-options/theme-chooser

The documentation states you can use it without choosing a theme but I cannot seem to unload the previously selected theme.
If as in the attached screenshot I choose “Select” the previous theme is still loaded

[Ernest Marcinko]

Great 🙂

It was phrased incorrectly in the documentation, I will correct that. By that we meant, that you can make changes to the initial layout (which is by default the “Simple red vertical” theme). The theme chooser is a baseline of pre-defined layouts, which you can load and then customize basically.

Good to know, thank you Ernest.

I would love to see a future option of a very VERY bare-bones theme for easy integration with other/custom themes.

I am now working on adding a radio front-end filter for some product tags that are cannot exist on the same product. e.g. Alcoholic and Non-alcoholic. I can’t quite get the code to work.

I have 2 hopefully simple questions

1/ Can I add a filter to appear within an existing fieldset? E.g. underneath “Filter by Product tags” created in the admin back-end?
2/ Can you help correct the below example to correctly search with product_tag

Many thanks,

Would you be interested in WooCommerce related write-ups and snippets when this project is complete?

//from: https://knowledgebase.ajaxsearchpro.com/frontend-filters/frontend-filters-api
add_action('asp_pre_parse_filters', 'asp_add_my_own_filters', 10, 2);
function asp_add_my_own_filters($search_id, $options) {
    if ( $search_id == 1 ) {
        // Radio
		
		/*
		$type (string) - The filter type, can be: taxonomy
		$label (string) (optional) - The filter box header label
		$display_mode (string) (optional) - The display mode of the filter values: checkboxes, input, slider, range, dropdown, radio, dropdownsearch, multisearch
		$data (array) (optional) - Additional data, that may be required within the template for this filter depending on the $type and $display_mode
		Check the examples below for the usage.
		*/
		
        $filter = wd_asp()->front_filters->create(
            'taxonomy',
            null,//'Filter testing'
            // Type: dropdown, dropdownsearch, multisearch or radio
            'radio',
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'product_tag',
            )
        );
        $filter->add(array(
            'label' => 'Alcoholic',
			'taxonomy' => 'product_tag',
            'id' => '21',//tag_id stupid no the the slug
            'selected' => false,
        ));
        $filter->add(array(
            'label' => 'Non-alcoholic',
			'taxonomy' => 'product_tag',
            'id' => '22',//tag_id stupid no the the slug
            'selected' => false,
        ));
        $filter->selectByOptions($options);
        wd_asp()->front_filters->add($filter);
    }
}

Hi!

To add new values to an existing taxonomy term filter, use this one:

add_filter('asp_pre_get_front_filters', 'asp_change_a_filter', 10, 2);
function asp_change_a_filter($filters, $type) {
	foreach ($filters as $k => &$filter) {
		if ( $filter->field() == 'product_tag' ) {
			$filter->add(array(
			  'label' => 'My custom product tag',
			  'selected' => false,
			  'id' => 123
			));
		}
	}
	return $filters;
}

Of course the tag ID needs to be an existing tag ID, the label does not matter.
