Filter is search form by rating

Hi,
the Custom Fields extension does not allow right now to search by a third-party custom field (ie field not created with WP Adverts), to have a dropdown that will allow searching by a custom meta field you would need to custom code it https://wpadverts.com/doc/custom-fields-search-form/

thanks for the reply but im clueless with coding

the post meta (rmp_avg_rating) values are 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1

How will i display this in the code in the format

VALUE = LABEL (displayed in dropdown)
5 = 5 Star Rating
4 = 4 Star Rating
3 = 3 Star Rating
2 = 2 Star Rating
1 = 1 Star Rating

hello
I don’t think it can be in a custom field.
Wouldn’t that be good?

The whole code should look something like this

add_filter( 'adverts_form_load', function( $form ) {
    if( $form['name'] != 'search' ) {
        return $form;
    }
    $form['field'][] = array(
        "name" => "rmp_avg_rating",
        "type" => "adverts_field_select",
        "order" => 20,
        "label" => __("Rating", "adverts"),
        "max_choices" => 1,
        "empty_option" => true,
        "empty_option_text" => "Select Rating",
        "options" => array(
            array( "value" => 1, "text" => "1 Star" ),
            array( "value" => 2, "text" => "2 Stars" ),
            array( "value" => 3, "text" => "3 Stars" ),
            array( "value" => 4, "text" => "4 Stars" ),
            array( "value" => 5, "text" => "5 Stars" ),
        ),
        "meta" => array(
            "search_group" => "visible",
            "search_type" => "half" 
        )
    );
    return $form;
} );
add_filter( 'adverts_list_query', function( $args ) {
    if( ! adverts_request( "rmp_avg_rating" ) ) {
        return $args;
    }
    $rating = adverts_request( "rmp_avg_rating" );
    $args["meta_query"]["rmp_avg_rating_min"] = array(
        "key" => "rmp_avg_rating",
        "value" => $rating,
        "type" => "NUMERIC"
    );
    return $args;
} );

although i am guessing the rmp_avg_rating is a floating-point number so the current search will find only the ratings that exactly match 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

In this case, the search part would need to be something like

$args["meta_query"]["rmp_avg_rating_min"] = array(
    "key" => "rmp_avg_rating",
    "value" => $rating,
    "compare" => ">=",
    "type" => "NUMERIC"
);
$args["meta_query"]["rmp_avg_rating_max"] = array(
    "key" => "rmp_avg_rating",
    "value" => $rating+1,
    "compare" => "<",
    "type" => "NUMERIC"
);

Hello Greg

The code worked perfectly thanks very much you are awesome!
This second code was what I used

$args["meta_query"]["rmp_avg_rating_min"] = array(
    "key" => "rmp_avg_rating",
    "value" => $rating,
    "compare" => ">=",
    "type" => "NUMERIC"
);
$args["meta_query"]["rmp_avg_rating_max"] = array(
    "key" => "rmp_avg_rating",
    "value" => $rating+1,
    "compare" => "<",
    "type" => "NUMERIC"
);
