How do I get the URL var string for a particular taxonomy?

    2 years, 5 months ago

    I have several custom taxonomies with filters, and I use shortened URL var strings (e.g. “sta” is the URL var string for a taxonomy called “name-status”). Is there a way to get the var string that corresponds to a particular taxonomy, in code? I want to be able to do something like this in a separate plugin:

    $tax_queries = $wp_query->query_vars['tax_query'];
foreach ($tax_queries as $tax) {
   $tax_name = $tax['taxonomy'];
   $tax_url_var = get_url_var($tax); // does a function like this exist?
   echo 'URL var for ' . $tax_name . ' is ' . $tax_url_var; // would output "URL var for name-status is sta"
}

    Is there a way to achieve this?

    Hello @averixus

    Thank you for using Filter Everything plugin.

    There are two functions that can help you to find all selected filters on a page ‘flrt_is_filter_request’ and ‘flrt_selected_filter_terms’. The first one gives you information if the current page is filter request, the second gives you all data of selected filters: 

    if ( function_exists('flrt_is_filter_request') ) {
    if( flrt_is_filter_request() ){
        $selected_fitlers = flrt_selected_filter_terms();
        var_dump( $selected_fitlers );
    }
}

    This code will show you something like this:

    array(2) {
  ["color"]=>
  array(10) {
    ["entity"]=>
    string(8) "taxonomy"
    ["e_name"]=>
    string(8) "pa_color"
    ["slug"]=>
    string(5) "color"
    ["in_path"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
    ["values"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(5) "black"
    }
    ["founded_in_path"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
    ["logic"]=>
    string(2) "or"
    ["show_chips"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
    ["label"]=>
    string(5) "Color"
    ["used_for_variations"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
  }
  ["brand"]=>
  array(10) {
    ["entity"]=>
    string(8) "taxonomy"
    ["e_name"]=>
    string(8) "pa_brand"
    ["slug"]=>
    string(5) "brand"
    ["in_path"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
    ["values"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(5) "apple"
    }
    ["founded_in_path"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
    ["logic"]=>
    string(2) "or"
    ["show_chips"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
    ["label"]=>
    string(5) "Brand"
    ["used_for_variations"]=>
    string(2) "no"
  }
}

    Where array keys are filter URL variables.
    I hope this will help you.

    Thank you for your review. I had hope it will be 5 stars ) But if you don’t think the plugin deserves 5 stars, can I ask you to remove this review until I improve my documentation? It is important for me on this period.

    I know that the documentation is not ideal and requires improving but I’m working on new plugin features now and I will be able to work on documentation after that.

    Thank you for your understanding.
