Search result name details

[synergyParticipant]

Hi Ernest,

Just a quick question. I am using Ajax Pro to search a bunch of pages that all have the title starting with ‘supplier’ followed by the suppliers name (supplier-name). I’ve done this for ease of use so that all the supplier pages are in the same wordpress editing area and easily identified as such. However I would prefer the search result to show just the supplier name rather than the name and prefix (supplier-).

Is the best way to achieve this to setup a custom field with the preferred suppliers name as a value and then set that custom field as the option in the ‘Primary Title Field for Posts/Pages/CPT’ setting in ‘Advanced Options – Content’?

Again, many thanks.

Hi!

I believe there is a better, faster way, with a custom code, by simply replacing the ‘supplier-‘ string before it. So, I would recommend trying this one out:

Try placing this into the functions.php file in your active theme/child theme directory, copy from line 3. Please be careful when editing files, always use FTP, and have a back-up of everything.

Best,

Hi Ernest,

My website WordPress has updated to 4.9.2 and I placed this script in the updated functions.php from line 2 onwards (see below) and it is now not working.

1.<?php
2./**
3.*Filter to remove ‘Supplier’ from Ajax Pro Search results display images
4.*/
5.add_filter(‘asp_results’, ‘asp_replace_supplier_name’, 10, 4);
6.function asp_replace_supplier_name($results, $sid, $is_ajax, $args) {
7.foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) {
8.$r->title = str_replace(‘supplier-‘, ”, $r->title);
9.}
10. return $results;
11.}
12./**
13. * Main WordPress API
14. *
15. * @package WordPress
16. */

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

The filter endpoints have not changed recently, this should work just like before.

Make sure that the correct file was this copied into. Sometimes I mistake the theme directory to another theme.

Best,
