[Resolved] order by custom field A and filter by custom field B

Hi Carlo,

That exact code will be in conflict with the list with More settings fields filled up.

If you want to modify the meta key on the go as well then you should write the shortcode atts to allow for it.

Example:

add_shortcode('wpsp_dinamico_idorder', function($atts){
	$queriedArchive = get_queried_object();
		$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
			'id' => '',
            'order' => 'ASC',
            'orderby' => 'meta_value',
            'meta_key' => 'idorder',
		), $atts, 'wpsp_dinamico_idorder' );

		$settings = array(
			'order'      => $atts['order'],
			'orderby'  => $atts['orderby'],
			'meta_key'  => $atts['meta_key'],
		);

		ob_start();
			wpsp_display( $atts['id'], $settings );
		return ob_get_clean();
});

With this, we can do more with the shortocde.

Example: [wpsp_dinamico_idorder id="123" order="ASC" orderby="meta_value" meta_key="place"] You can replace the meta_key to your preference.

Note: make sure the More settings tab is set to default and do your filtering on the shortcode completely.

In that case you may have to use WPSP’s base default shortcode and do the filtering through a filter hook instead.

To run the code properly, you’ll have to modify your plugin as Tom instructed here – https://wpshowposts.com/support/topic/can-i-exclude-with-a-custom-meta-field-from-a-list/#post-13344

Example: Say, you want to filter WPSP list id 1234 with custom field slug place and value online while ordering it using idorder field.

add_filter( "wp_show_posts_shortcode_args", function ($args, $settings) {
    if (1234 === (int) $settings["list_id"]) {
		$args['meta_key'] = 'idorder';
		$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
        $args['meta_query'] = array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
            array( 
				'key' => 'idorder',
			),
			array( 
				'key' => 'place',
				'value' => 'online',
				'compare' => 'LIKE'
			),
		);
    }
    return $args;
},10,2);

Here’s an example for that.

add_filter( "wp_show_posts_shortcode_args", function ($args, $settings) {
    if (1111 === (int) $settings["list_id"]) {
		$args['meta_key'] = 'x';
		$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
        $args['meta_query'] = array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
            array( 
				'key' => 'x',
			),
			array( 
				'key' => 'y',
				'value' => 'y value',
				'compare' => 'LIKE'
			),
		);
    }

    if (2222 === (int) $settings["list_id"]) {
		$args['meta_key'] = 'z';
		$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
        $args['meta_query'] = array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
            array( 
				'key' => 'z',
			),
			array( 
				'key' => 'w',
				'value' => 'w value',
				'compare' => 'LIKE'
			),
		);
    }
    return $args;
},10,2);

No problem. 🙂
