Hi David,
Hope all's going well.
Wondering if you can help, I'm trying to exclude a particular merchant from a list of results within a WP page, I'm currently using:
[pto search="ft:shorts,-brief -sports"]
is there a way to exclude a merchant feed with this type of query, for example:
[pto search="ft:shorts,-brief -sports, exclude-merchant:Merchant Name"]
or similar?
Thanks,
Stew
All now working - many thanks!!
One thing though, if I wanted to exclude more than one merchant - is that possible?
Stew
Hi Stew,
Sure - as an alternative to the above modification to pto_search.php, have a go with:
$pto_searchWhere = $where.$priceWhere;
global $pto_searchExcludeMerchant;
if (isset($pto_searchExcludeMerchant))
{
$ins = array();
$merchants = explode(",",$pto_searchExcludeMerchant);
foreach($merchants as $merchant)
{
$ins[] = "'".$wpdb->escape($merchant)."'";
}
$pto_searchWhere .= " AND merchant NOT IN (".implode(",",$ins).") ";
unset($pto_searchExcludeMerchant);
}And then specify the excludemerchants value as comma separated list e.g.
[pto search="ft:shorts,-brief -sports" excludemerchant="Merchant 1,Merchant 2"]Cheers,
David.

Hi David,
Brilliant - many thanks for that.
One other query on this, is there a way to exclude products from a certain category also?
Cheers
Stewart
Hi Stewart,
Sure - you can do exactly the same for categories. At the same point in the code for the excludemerchant modification, in pto.php add:
if (isset($atts["excludecategory"]))
{
global $pto_searchExcludeCategory;
$pto_searchExcludeCategory = $atts["excludecategory"];
}And in pto_search.php, add:
global $pto_searchExcludeCategory;
if (isset($pto_searchExcludeCategory))
{
$ins = array();
$categories = explode(",",$pto_searchExcludeCategory);
foreach($categories as $category)
{
$ins[] = "'".$wpdb->escape($category)."'";
}
$pto_searchWhere .= " AND category NOT IN (".implode(",",$ins).") ";
unset($pto_searchExcludeCategory);
}And example usage;
[pto search="ft:shorts,-brief -sports" excludemerchant="Merchant 1,Merchant 2" excludecategory="Category 1,Category 2"]Cheers,
David.

Hi David,
Brilliant, many thanks for going through that, got it,
Thanks,
Stew
Hello Stew,
It would be straight forward to pass through as a separate attribute - to try this edit pto.php and look for the following code at line 400:
if (isset($atts["maxprice"])) $pto_maxPrice = $atts["maxprice"];...and REPLACE with:
if (isset($atts["maxprice"])) $pto_maxPrice = $atts["maxprice"];if (isset($atts["excludemerchant"]))
{
global $pto_searchExcludeMerchant;
$pto_searchExcludeMerchant = $atts["excludemerchant"];
}
Then edit pto_search.php and look for the following code at line 227:
$pto_searchWhere = $where.$priceWhere;...and REPLACE with:
$pto_searchWhere = $where.$priceWhere;global $pto_searchExcludeMerchant;
if (isset($pto_searchExcludeMerchant))
{
$pto_searchWhere .= " AND merchant <> '".$wpdb->escape($pto_searchExcludeMerchant)."' ";
unset($pto_searchExcludeMerchant);
}
Then use as your shortcode;
[pto search="ft:shorts,-brief -sports" excludemerchant="Merchant Name"]Cheers,
David.
