Filter by category

  • Hi there,

    Love your plugin, it’s really one of the best we have used so far!
    Coming to the question. First of all I apologise if it’s been asked before, but we have done a reasearch in the forum and couldn’t find an appropriate answer.

    We built a woocommerce mutlivendor marketplace and would like to create categories-related result pages using Geo My Wp.
    Specifically, we would want users to click on a ‘product category’ (in homepage) and bring them into a geolocalized list of of product, related to that category.

    It does not seem possible using the given shortcodes. Is there a work around to achieve this ?

    Many thanks

    Hello @wlsfh,

    Thank you for the feedback, and I apologize for my delayed reply.

    So you’d like to display products with a specific category, but not specific to a location?

    I am assuming that because by creating link that will display results based on a specific category won’t allow you to also enter an address.

    Hi Eyal,

    No worries.
    No, we’d like to display ‘geo localized’ products belonging to a specific category,

    I.e. say you have 2 categories in the HP, red shoes and white shoes. Consumers click on one category. In the result page consumer will be able to see only those products available in X radius from their current location.

    We managed to do many things with Geo My WP but this seems fairly difficult.

    Is is it any way possible?

    Have you got time to look into this ?

    Hey @wlsfh,

    What you described should be possible using a filter and a custom function.

    There is the filter ‘gmw_pt_search_query_args’ which you can find in geo-my-wp/plugins/posts-locator/includes/class-gmw-posts-locator-form.php on line ~289.

    Using this filter you can modify the Search query arguments before they pass into the WP_Query class. So you could write a custom function that will get the category of the current page that is being viewed, and use that to modify the tax_query argument of the WP_Query ( see some info here ).

    This should be possible but does require PHP knowledge.

    I hope this helps abit.

    Let me know if you have additional questions.
