Adding hidden filter parameters based on url

    Thanks for the great plugin.

    I’m trying to figure out how I can use filters to append certain taxonomy filters to the url based on the previous page.

    So on this site I am developing, I have one CPT with a few different taxonomies attached. I want to hide the ‘hireable’ taxonomy filter but have it changed in the background depending on which page the user uses the filtering widget from.

    Eg the user is on taxonomy archive page for the taxonomy ‘hire’ and the term ‘yes’. They see the taxonomy filter widget, and it shows them options from the product category taxonomy and the product product age taxonomy. They do not see the drop down showing them the ‘ hire’ taxonomy. However, because this filtering widget is accessed from the hire taxonomy archive page, I append ‘hire/yes’ to the url.

    Is there a way I can detect the url of the page the user is on when they submit the taxonomy filter form? Eg some version of

    function modify_new_url($url){
//get current query taxonomy and term
//if current taxonomy is ‘hire’ and current term is ‘yes'
    return $url . ‘hire/yes/';

}
add_filter('beautiful_filters_new_url', 'modify_new_url');

    Thanks a lot for the great plugin

    Hi Cselin,

    Thank you for those kind words! If you really find BTF useful a nice review goes a long way! ??

    I’m pretty sure you should be able to use all WordPress conditionals etc in this hook. So you could do something like:

    function modify_new_url($url){
	global $wp_query;
	/**
	 * Only run this on hire tax archive and the hire query var is set.
	 * It will append whatever term is used (yes/no/blabla/duckies-are-cute)
	 */
	if( is_tax('hire') && isset( $wp_query->query_vars['hire'] ) ){
		$url = $url . 'hire/' . $wp_query->query_vars['hire'] . '/';
	}
    return $url;

}
add_filter('beautiful_filters_new_url', 'modify_new_url');
