Hi,
I have settled a parametric Search view in : hidden link
I've a problem : all the list of result of the query on the post category stay always displayed before making any search.
I need the result displayed only after making the search, not always.
Thanks fir the help !
Regards

Hi michelG,

The URL you mentioned above is not valid, please check it.
I assume you are going to display results only when user click the search button of Views,

Please try Views filter hook wpv_filter_query like this, add codes in your theme/functions.php:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'hide_results_func', 10, 3 );

function hide_results_func( $query, $settings, $views_id ) {
    if($views_id == 123){ // 123 need be replaced with your views ID
		if(!isset($_REQUEST['wpv_filter_submit'])){
			$query['post__in'] = array(-2);;
		}
	}
	
    return $query;
}

Please replace 123 with your view's ID

Hi Luoy !

The right URL is : hidden link

Many thanks for your answer, the goal is to hide the results before client search, you're right !

As I'm not a programming pro I've made what I've understood

1 - I've added this to functions.php of the theme site:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'hide_results_func', 10, 3 );

function hide_results_func( $query, $settings, $views_id ) {
if($views_id == 2675){ // 1675 is my views ID
if(!isset($_REQUEST['wpv_filter_submit'])){
$query['post__in'] = array(-2);;
}
}

return $query;
}

A message is returned :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'function' (T_FUNCTION) in /pathto/asso-hyeres.org/wp-content/themes/inovado_theme/functions.php on line 432

What I've made wrong ?

Just a last info : this site runs under a WordPress multisite setting.

Please explain to me precisely, step by step qhat have to be done.
Many thanks by advance !

Hi !

I've found a part of the problem : I've made the copy from the email and on it the code was badly formated !

I copy/paste the code from here and now the error message disappeared !
Now the results are hidden, but the query no more works !

An idea ?

Luo is not available to help you with this issue, I will.

I have another idea instead of using custom PHP code, but Views features. Please take a look in the "Adding Just the Search Form to a Page" section of the page: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/

There you will learn how to display the Views form and results in different pages.

Please let me know if you are satisfied with my answer and if I can help you with any other related question.
