Thanks Ernest,

One last addon before it closes…

Some reasonably robust (perhaps you can suggest a better solution than using the ‘click’ event) and commented javascript for making filters act like toggles (in this case ONLY one can be one at a time, but both can be off, so NOT a true toggle).

jQuery(window).ready(function($) {
	function linkASPFrontendFilterEvent( $master, $slave ){
		$master.on('click', function () {//must be ASP js that prevents 'change' working (even if override the input being hidden)
			if( jQuery(this).find('input[type=checkbox]').is(':checked') ) {//must be ASP js that prevents .checked working
				$slave.find('input[type=checkbox]').prop( "checked", false );
			}
		});
	}

	function linkASPFrontendFilter( term1, term2 ){
		if( jQuery( '.'+term1) !== null && jQuery( '.'+term2) !== null ){
			var $elem1 = jQuery( '.asp_option.'+term1 );
			var $elem2 = jQuery( '.asp_option.'+term2 );
			linkASPFrontendFilterEvent( $elem1, $elem2 );
			linkASPFrontendFilterEvent( $elem2, $elem1 );
		};
	};

	//array toggle classes to be linked (Requires a theme override e.g. asp-tax-checkboxes.php with "str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower(strip_tags($term->label))); ?> ")
	const ao_asp_toggles = [
		['alcoholic','non-alcoholic'],
		['sparkling','still'],
	];
	//loop through the classes
	for (i = 0; i < ao_asp_toggles.length; ++i) {
		linkASPFrontendFilter( ao_asp_toggles[i][0], ao_asp_toggles[i][1] );
	};
});

Excellent! Thank you.

Posting to help others in the future

add_filter( 'asp_fontend_get_taxonomy_terms', 'asp_reorder_terms', 1, 3 );
function asp_reorder_terms($terms, $taxonomy, $args) {
	if ( $taxonomy == 'product_tag' ) {//'product_tag' is for WooCommerce

		$custom_order = [ 'slug2' , 'slug3' , 'slug4' , 'slug1' ];//desired order of terms using their slug
		$terms_reordered = [];
		$i = 0;
		foreach($custom_order as $slug => $data){
			foreach($terms as $term){
				if($term->slug == $slug){
					$terms_reordered[$i] = $term;
					unset($term);//unset so mark it reordered
				}
			}
			$i++;
		}
		return array_merge($terms_reordered, $terms);//merge in any terms not reordered
	}

	return $terms;
}

Thanks for you’re help finding a working solution to passing a custom variable I have a reliable solution now.

The missing results seemed to be a weird behaviour of WooCommerce variable product types and was not specific to ASP.

[willfaulds59]

I have noticed some missing results elsewhere so I’m going to debug the issue today and see if its being caused by a modification/override/plugin.

[willfaulds59]

You cannot access this content.

[willfaulds59]

Thank you Ernest, after debugging for a while I have found why I thought the post_in did not work for WooCommerce products.

When

$args['post_in'] is set the AJAX call to admin-ajax.php response does not contain any HTML – its a data JSON only. I will copy into a private reply the Headers and Response from Chrome Dev tools.

Aha, yes that’s a good solution to passing the variables.

Do you have a recommendation for a similar functionality to the post_in arg for Woocommerce products?

[willfaulds59]

Another dead end 🙁

add_filter("asp_query_args", "asp_query_args_change", 10, 2);
function asp_query_args_change($args, $search_id) {
	
	//WORKAROUND:set a search term?
	// $args[s]=searchterm
	// &asp_s='+encodeURIComponent('related_items:')
	// &asp_s=related_items%3A
	
	//as this is loaded via AJAX I cannot access the query string, $_REQUEST doesn't hold the referer URL either :(	
	
	if($args['s'])
	{	
		$searchterm = $args['s'];
		if ( strpos( $searchterm, 'related_items:' ) !== false) {
			$id_string = str_replace('related_items:', '', $searchterm);
			$ids = explode(',',$id_string);
			$args['post_in'] = array_unique( $ids );
			$args['s']='';
		}
	}

	//TODO stop the search term showing in search box
	return $args;
}

I thought I had a great workaround but unfortunately the $args[‘post_in’] seems to only apply to standard WP posts?

Any better solutions/imporvements for WC products?

[willfaulds59]

I can see a potential method… but can’t get it working.

The $_REQUEST [options] contains some of the query string.

I have tried registering a custom query variable

add_filter( 'query_vars', 'add_query_vars_filter' );
function add_query_vars_filter( $vars ){
  $vars[] = 'custom_var';
  return $vars;
}

but ASP but not pass it to the asp_query_args filter/AJAX call

I have tried adding a custom ASP front-end filter

add_action('asp_pre_parse_filters', 'asp_add_my_own_filters', 10, 2);
function asp_add_my_own_filters($search_id, $options) {
        $filter = wd_asp()->front_filters->create(
            'custom_field',
            'Text stock',
            // text or hidden
            'text',
            array(
                'field' => '_stock_status',
                // See operator list on above example
                'operator' => 'eq'
            )
        );
        $filter->add(array(
            'label' => 'Stock status',
            'value' => 'instock',
            'default' => 'instock'
        ));
        $filter->selectByOptions($options);
        wd_asp()->front_filters->add($filter);
}

but I cannot override this via the query string…

Any ideas as to a viable solution?

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);
    }
}

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

[willfaulds59]

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

[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).

Excellent!

This has worked perfectly.
