Add Random Sorting to Adverts Lists
-
Greetings. I was trying to add the option to randomize the listing through the shortcode (using a duplicate of it and setting on functions.php) I was trying to add the parameter like this but i have no results.
[On the original file is around the line 120 of wpadverts/includes/shortcodes.php]if( isset( $sarr[1] ) && isset( $sort_options[$sarr[0]]["items"][$adverts_sort] ) ) { $sort_key = $sarr[0]; $sort_dir = $sarr[1]; if($sort_dir == "asc") { $sort_dir = "ASC"; } elseif ($sort_dir == "rand") { $sort_dir = "RAND"; }else { $sort_dir = "DESC"; } if($sort_key == "title") { $orderby["title"] = $sort_dir; } elseif($sort_key == "date") { $orderby["date"] = $sort_dir; } elseif($sort_key == "rand") { $orderby["rand"] = $sort_dir; }elseif($sort_key == "price") { $orderby["adverts_price__orderby"] = $sort_dir; $meta["adverts_price__orderby"] = array( 'key' => 'adverts_price', 'type' => 'NUMERIC', 'compare' => 'NUMERIC', ); } else { // apply sorting using adverts_list_query filter. } //if($sort_key == "random") {echo "random";} $sort_current_text = $sort_options[$sort_key]["label"] ; $s_descr = $sort_options[$sort_key]["items"][$adverts_sort]; $sort_current_title = sprintf( __( "Sort By: %s - %s", "wpadverts"), $sort_current_text, $s_descr ); } else { $adverts_sort = $order_by; $orderby["date"] = "desc"; }And i see that later i can switch the ordering to random directly but the idea is having the option instead of switching on the functions.
[On the original file is around the line 155 of wpadverts/includes/shortcodes.php]$args = apply_filters( "adverts_list_query", array( 'author' => $author, 'post_type' => 'advert', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page, 'paged' => $paged, 's' => $query, 'meta_query' => $meta, 'tax_query' => $taxonomy, 'orderby' => $orderby ), $params);Where
'orderby' => $orderbyi can shange it to'orderby' => 'rand'but the idea is setting the random parameter on the first chunk of the code.I have the impression that i missed somethnig but I’m lost.
