    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to filter a view using the Search & Filter Pro plugin. It seems like this should be possible but I can't seem to get it to work.

    This is their instruction for filtering custom result:https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-results/custom/

    Could you point me in the right direction for doing this?

    Thanks

    Hi Clay,

    To use a third-party plugin in View, you can create your own function then call it via the proxy mb.function_name(). Get more details on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#running-php-functions

    Hey Long,

    I've tried that but can't get it to work. Would you mind including some sample code?

    $args = array('post_type' => 'post');
$args['search_filter_id'] = 123;
$query = new WP_Query($args);

    That is the code given by Search & Replace Pro to implement in a custom way.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    I have not used the Search & Filter before but if you want to show the results in View, you can create a custom function in the file functions.php or Code Snippets

    function show_my_posts() {
    $args = array('post_type' => 'post');
    $args['search_filter_id'] = 123;
    $query = new WP_Query( $args );
    while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
        $query->the_post();
        echo get_the_title() . '<br>';
    }
    wp_reset_postdata();
}

    then call it in View via proxy {{ mb.show_my_posts() }}

    Amazing! This got me mostly there. Thanks for the code sample. Is it possible to echo the contents of the Meta Box View in that function so the results being returned and filtered are rendered by the view or would this be done with PHP in the function above?

    Hi,

    In the PHP code, you can use the function do_shortcode() to render the shortcode.

    echo do_shortcode('[ mbv id="12345" ]');
