Search results display Posts excluded by “Search Exclude” Plugin

Hi Yvonne,

I am not sure if we can integrate to be honest. I am already struggling to keep up with the integration of other plugins, it requires a lot of maintenance.

Instead of a direct modification to the plugin code, I suggest a custom filter code, to integrate the two plugins.

The asl_query_add_args filter hook is a good starting point, it lets you add extra query parts to the code. So, if you can get the excluded post IDs via the other plugin API, then using a custom code based on that would do the trick. Something like:

add_filter('asl_query_add_args', 'my_asl_query_add_args', 10, 3);
function my_asl_query_add_args($query, $data, $options) {
    // --> Get the array of post IDs via a function
    // $ids = get_excluded_post_ids();
    // $ids = !empty($ids) ? implode(',', $ids) : $ids;
    
    // if ( !empty($ids) ) {
    $query = array(
	'fields' => '',
	'join' => '',
	'where' => "AND $wpdb->posts.ID NOT IN($ids)",
	'orderby' => '',
	'groupby' => ''
    ); 
    // }
    return $query;
}

This is not a working code, just a sample! Edit it according to the other plugin API.

Best,
Ernest M.

Hi Ernest

thanks a lot for your reply and the suggestion for the filter. I haven’t had a chance to try your suggestion yet, but I will give it a go as soon as I get the chance to. I’ll post the final code as soon as it works ??

Cheers
Yvonne

Hi Ernest

thanks again for your reply, it worked like a charm.

For the “Search Exclude” Plugin, it stores all IDs as an option, so my final code looks like this – maybe it helps anyone else out there:

add_filter('asl_query_add_args', 'my_asl_query_add_args', 10, 3);
function my_asl_query_add_args($query, $data, $options) {

	global $wpdb;

	$ids = get_option('sep_exclude');
	$ids = !empty($ids) ? implode(',', $ids) : $ids;

	if ( !empty($ids) ) {
		$query = array(
			'fields' => '',
			'join' => '',
			'where' => "AND $wpdb->posts.ID NOT IN($ids)"
		);
	}
	return $query;
}

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Yvonne
