Replace result-urls with something else

[Julius89Participant]

Hello!
I would like to replace only particular result-urls (not all urls) with other urls on the live-results.
So for example

websiteurl1.com should be replaced with google.com
and
websiteurl2.com with wikipedia.com
and
websiteurl3.com should not be changed.

I found this documentation on the ajax search pro-website: https://knowledgebase.ajaxsearchpro.com/miscellaneous/other/how-to-change-the-results-url-to-something-else

Could you point out which code-snippets I have to modify to make this happen?

Thank you very much

Julius

Hi Julius,

You are looking for this code snippet:

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_link_results', 10, 1 );
function asp_custom_link_results( $results ) {

  // Parse through each result item
  foreach ($results as $k=>$v) {
    /**
     * In this context the
     *      $results[$k]->link
     * variable holds the result link. Make modifications to that variable.
     */
    $results[$k]->link  = 'https://google.com';
  }

  return $results;
}

I would recommend something like this:

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_link_results', 10, 1 );
function asp_custom_link_results( $results ) {
	// Array of original -> replacement links
	$replace = array(
		'websiteurl1.com' => 'google.com',
		'websiteurl2.com' => 'wikipedia.com'
	);

	// Parse through each result item
	foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) {
		/**
		 * In this context the
		 *      $results[$k]->link
		 * variable holds the result link. Make modifications to that variable.
		 */
		$r->link  = str_replace(array_keys($replace), array_values($replace), $r->link);
	}

  return $results;
}

Just enter the values to the $replace variable. On each line, the left side is the value to replace, with the value on the right side.

Best,

Hi!

The result-linke isn’t replaced properly but instead “google.com” is added to the existing link.

But this is no problem for me. I have chosen a different solution with ajax search pro for my project, that doesn’t rely on this customization. So I don’t want to replace the result-link anymore.

Thanks for your efforts! I like Ajax Search Pro very much.
