How to customize text in Ultimate Member filter fields

@wesmed

You can try to use the template customization for Members Directory.
In this case you can use the members.php template.

https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1516-templates-map

After you have copied the template file to
wp-content/themes/{active_theme}/ultimate-member/templates/

you can customize the template by adding your code after line 330 like this for select filters:

<?php
	$long_title = '';
	if ( $type == 'select' ) {
		if( $filter == 'gender' ) {
			$long_title = 'title="Long title for gender"';
		}
		if( $filter == 'country' ) {
			$long_title = 'title="Long title for country"';
		}
	}?>

Change gender and country to your filters and the Long title for gender etc.
Duplicate the if statement for additional select filters.

Finally include your $long_title content in the filter’s div

<div <?php echo $long_title?> class="um-search-filter um-<?php echo .....

Edit: Line 330 contains:

$type = UM()->member_directory()->filter_types[ $filter ]; ?>

Thank you for the response missveronica!! I’ve only recently started altering files/code, so pardon me for my ignorance, but once I go to wp-content/themes/{active_theme} (which is Divi), I cannot find /ultimate-member/templates in order to paste the members.php template. Am I missing something? Does it need to be in this exact order for locating the file?

@wesmed

I cannot find /ultimate-member/templates in order to paste the members.php template.

You must create the folders with the file manager or your FTP client.

Hello @wesmed

You can use the um_search_fields hook to override labels in the member directory filters.

A code example:

add_filter( 'um_search_fields', function( $attrs, $field_key, $form_id ) {

	if ( 'Does the property include any of the following equipment or infrastructure? (Select all that apply)' === $attrs['label'] ) {
		$attrs['label'] = 'Infrastructure';
	}

	if ( 'Your favourite sport activity (Multi-Select)' === $attrs['label'] ) {
		$attrs['label'] = 'Favourite sport';
	}

	return $attrs;
}, 10, 3 );

You can add custom PHP code to the functions.php file in the active theme directory.

Regards

Hello, I just returned from my honeymoon so I apologize for the absence! @missveronicatv thank you so much for your assistance. I was able to create the folders and copied the “members.php” template into a directory within my theme.

The file structure is now: wp-content/themes/Divi/ultimate-member/templates/members.php

Below is the code example you originally provided (just for a quick reference), and below that, you will find my modifications bolded and <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>underlined</span> text according to how I understood your instructions. Would you be so kind as to see if I am understanding your steps properly?

<?php
	$long_title = '';
	if ( $type == 'select' ) {
		if( $filter == 'gender' ) {
			$long_title = 'title="Long title for gender"';
		}
		if( $filter == 'country' ) {
			$long_title = 'title="Long title for country"';
		}
	}?>

<?php
	$long_title = '';
	if ( $type == 'select' ) {
		if( $filter == '<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Infrastructure</span>' ) {
			$long_title = 'title="<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Does the property include any of the following equipment or infrastructure? (Select all that apply) </span>"';
		}
		if( $filter == '<span style="text-decoration: underline;">County</span>' ) {
			$long_title = 'title="<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Select the county your property located.</span>"';
		}
                if( $filter == '<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Irrigation</span>' ) {
                        $long_title = 'title="<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Which type(s) of irrigation systems does your property have? Check all that apply to your listing</span>"';                                                                                                                                           
		}
	}?>

Also, I’m not exactly sure I understood the final step that you provided below:

“Finally include your?$long_title?content in the filter’s?div (I’m not sure what the “filter’s div” is)

<div <?php echo $long_title?> class="um-search-filter um-<?php echo .....“

Are you referring to line 332? If so, my line 332 reads differently: <div class="um-search-filter um-<?php echo esc_attr( $type ) ?>-filter-type <?php echo ( $i != 0 && $i%2 !== 0 ) ? 'um-search-filter-2' : '' ?>">

I apologize for my ignorance/inexperience. I’ve been trying to figure it out myself but can’t seem to find the answers I need. Thank you SO much in advance and I’m eager to hear to hear your response.

@missveronicatv I just noticed that in my most recent post, the second code block converted the bold and italicized text to code. I was trying to make my edits stand out more. Anyways, below is the correct code that I would greatly appreciate feedback on:

<?php
	$long_title = '';
	if ( $type == 'select' ) {
		if( $filter == 'infrastructure' ) {
			$long_title = 'title="Does the property include any of the following equipment or infrastructure? (Select all that apply)"';
		}
		if( $filter == 'county' ) {
			$long_title = 'title="Select the county your property located."';                                                            
		}
                if( $filter == 'Irrigation' ) {
                        $long_title = 'title="Which type(s) of irrigation systems does your property have? Check all that apply to your listing"';                                                                    
                }
	}?>

@wesmed

Yes this code snippet looks good.

Your meta_keys are:

infrastructure
county
Irrigation

Now insert <?php echo $long_title?>
in the <div ... </div> where you want to see the $longtext

<div <?php echo $long_title?> class="um-search-filter .... </div>

will give this HTML to the browser

<div title="my long text etc" class="um-search-filter .... </div>

@missveronicatv It worked! Thank you for all of your assistance.

@missveronicatv

I can’t figure out how to apply my modified filter labels to my current members.php template that has the left filter box:

https://github.com/MissVeronica/UM-Members-Directory-Left-Filter-Box

Before, my label code was inserted after $type = UM()->member_directory()->filter_types[ $filter ]; ?> on line 330, but this doesn’t seem to be the right place to add my label code in the left filter box template. I found the $type = UM()->member_directory()->filter_types[ $filter ]; ?> on line 198 in the members.php left filter box template and tried to add my previous label code line 199, but that caused a fatal error.

I would sincerely appreciate any help!

@wesmed

Can you post this content here in the Forum.

@missveronicatv

Thank you for getting back to me! I recently removed my custom filter labels from my active-theme/ultimate-member/templates/members.php because the code was no longer modifying the filter labels. I tried using my filter label code as a code snippet, but that didn’t seem to work either. The filter label code that I originally had in my members.php file is below. Do you know where this snippet should be placed in the https://github.com/MissVeronica/UM-Members-Directory-Left-Filter-Box ?

add_filter( 'um_search_fields', function( $attrs, $field_key, $form_id ) {

	if ( 'Does the property include any of the following equipment or infrastructure?' === $attrs['label'] ) {
		$attrs['label'] = '<b>Infrastructure</b>';
	}

	if ( 'County of listed property' === $attrs['label'] ) {
		$attrs['label'] = '<b>County</b>';
	}

	if ( 'Which property types best describe your land listing?' === $attrs['label'] ) {
		$attrs['label'] = '<b>Property Type</b>';    
	}

	return $attrs;
}, 10, 3 );

Side note: the labels above show three of about a dozen that I’ve created.

Thank you for your help!!

@wesmed

The code snippet should be placed in the active theme’s functions.php file.

@missveronicatv

Sorry for the delayed response. Placing the filter label code in the functions.php file resolved the issue. Thank you for all of your help!!
