Using variables in Query string

[jackc]

Hello,

Please can you help me with this…

I’m trying to create a looper based on a custom query string

I have this query where the variable $country_code looks up the IP location and outputs a country code

---

$country_code = $_SERVER[“HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY”];
$args = array(
‘meta_key’ => ‘country’,
‘meta_value’ => $country_code,
‘meta_compare’ => ‘contains’
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args);

---

Then I’m using … var_dump( http_build_query( $query ) ); to generate my query string

however, when this happens, the variable $country_code is appearing as the country code of my IP e.g. GB

i need $country_code to stay as a variable so it updates depending on the users IP location.

Thanks!

Hi @jackc,

Thanks for reaching out!

Please check this thread on how you can generate a query string that you can assign a variable on it.

Hi @wowflak, Sorry for my previous response and thank you for explaining everything. I have fully understood your issues. The reason why your query is not valid because when we try to run this query. $data=array( 'post_type' => 'releases', 'meta_key' => 'artist', 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'order' => 'DESC', 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'artist', 'value' => '{{dc:post:id}}', 'compare' => '==', 'type' => 'NUMERIC' ) ), ); I…

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I’m still struggling to show my variable $country_code as dynamic content…

---

the original Wp query

$country_code = $_SERVER[“HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY”];
$args = array(
‘meta_key’ => ‘country’,
‘meta_value’ => $country_code,
‘meta_compare’ => ‘contains’
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args);

---

i cant seem to make this…

$country_code = $_SERVER[“HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY”];

show as dynamic content, I’ve tried {{dc:global:country_code}} & {{dc:post:country_code}}

I’ve also tried tweaking the query to match the example thread…

---

$country_code = $_SERVER[“HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY”];
$args = array(
‘meta_query’ => array(
array(
‘key’ => ‘country’,
‘value’ => ‘{{dc:post:country_code}}’,
‘compare’ => ‘contains’,
‘type’=> ‘CHAR’
),
)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args);

---

If you could point me in the right direction - thanks a lot.

Hi @jackc,

I would suggest you use the Custom Looper Provider where you can call a PHP function written into the functions.php of your child theme and you can use the $country_code into it. I would suggest you go through the following threads related to the custom looper.

HAHA Ok, so this graphic designer is hanging on as best he can here… Thank you so much! Here is what I’ve got so far, but it’s not returning anything on the front end just yet. [SharedScreenshot] You can see an example of the live page at: https://brewsky.nueramarketing.com/product-category/beer/ I’ll admit that I didn’t understand much from your last bit of instruction though, so forgive me if I’m omitting any critical details. Very much appreciated!

How to solve the BUG of Menu Content Scrolling - Button Navigation BUG

Is there ant way in order to fix the following BUG? Could be a solution using the new slider element with sile buttons? Is it possible to use WP MENU as Looper Provider? Is there any way in order to highlight Active Link? Thank You Daniele

Sidebar menu to show child pages of parent

OK thanks, but what you have suggested would be specific to the about section and its child pages wouldn’t it? It was more if there was a way of adding a query that I can put on a Pro > Layout which would then show all the child pages of the parent, regardless of which section you were in. So if I was in the community for instance each of those pages would show all the other children of the parent page. Hope that makes sense - as I say the code from WPBeginners does the job but it would be gr…

I would suggest you go through the following article and videos on the Looper.

If you want to use the Country Code as a Dynamic Content, you need to create custom Dynamic Content. I would suggest you go through the following thread on that.

Using Dynamic Content in the new Rating element

Hi @dhunink, I wanted to share a quick update regarding this issue. The rating fields are just meant to be numeric inputs so they won’t support shortcodes. We opted to support dynamic content in case you wanted to source those numbers from somewhere else. If you need to do something beyond what the DC fields support, you could setup your own dynamic content hook. This is a bit more involved and takes some custom development but here’s an example: // Put this somewhere DC is supported: {{dc:my…

Hope it helps.

Thanks for providing those threads but im struggling to understand how to apply them.

I need to parse a json request to my php query in order to apply the ‘custom’ looper provider, is this also post Id as in the examples?

[tristup]

Hi @jackc,

You can send any JSON value to the Custom Looper using the Params as shown in the following thread. If you use the get_the_ID() method in your PHP you will get the POST ID or you can send the {{dc:post:id}} through the params to get the ID in your custom looper function.

How to solve the BUG of Menu Content Scrolling - Button Navigation BUG

Hi Daniele, Unfortunately, there is no news on the bug reported into the issue tracker. Alternatively you can try the Logo Carousel Slider for similar purposes. You can get the Menu Items through the Custom Looper Provider. You need to add the following function into the functions.php of your child theme. add_filter("cs_looper_custom_menuitems", function($result, $args) { $menu_name=$args["menu_name"]; $menuLocations = get_nav_menu_locations(); $menuID = $menuLocations[$menu_name]; $primaryN…

Please remember that we don’t offer any support to the custom coding or any customization, I would suggest you hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called One, where we answer the questions beyond normal theme support.

Thanks
