Need advice on how I should fix my $params
-
I have a custom post type, BOOKS. It has several custom fields, namely; TITLE, AUTHOR, GENRE, RATING. I need advice on how to fix my code below so that only books that have the search word in the custom fields; title, author, genre; WITH EXACTLY the rating specified in my search form, gets displayed in the results?
I have made a custom search form; a text area that will search through the title, author, and genre; and a dropdown that will match the rating. The code in my params below only searches through the title, author, and genre. But I am now stumped in how to add the code for the rating.
This is how I visually imagined it: (title OR author OR genre) AND rating.
$params = array( 'orderby' => $sortbooks, 'limit' => 5, 'search' => false, 'where' => array( 'relation' => 'OR', array( 'key' => 'title', 'value' => $searchvalue, 'compare' => 'LIKE' ); array( 'key' => 'author', 'value' => $searchvalue, 'compare' => 'LIKE' ); array( 'key' => 'genre', 'value' => $searchvalue, 'compare' => 'LIKE' ); ), array( 'relation' => 'AND', array( 'key' => 'rating', 'value' => $ratingvalue, 'compare' => '=', 'type' => 'NUMERIC' ));
I would extremely appreciate your help and advice.
