Use data from exposed filter in title or header

I think the following code could work

<?php
$view = views_get_current_view();
dsm($view->exposed_input);
?>

To use dsm() you need the devel module.

Thanks! Also works with a select list of node-referenced years as a Views argument.

Add year argument,
Add %1 as title to use when argument is present,
Provide default argument,
Default argument type: PHP code

return $view->exposed_input[field_list_year_nid];

<?php
$view = views_get_current_view();
print $view->exposed_input[date_filter][value][year];
?>

Can someone be more specific with this code, I have tried every combination and cannot get it to work. Maybe a generic sample of this could would help.

I does not help you if you post the think to different issues. People helping here are just mans, so they might wait to answer your question if you put the same more then one time.

Since useful for my needs, I guess it can be for others.
Here is a small module that do it nicely, with themeing enabled.

Comments are welcome

@9 Use print_r to find out what data your array contains:

<?php
$view = views_get_current_view();
print_r($view->exposed_input);
?>

Many Thanks.

Ok, I think this is already fixed.

Marked #707710: Display exposed filter values in view header or on page (snippet? attachment? configuration?) as a duplicate

remember to check_plain($view->exposed_input[date_filter][value][year]);

Greetings,

I'm having a similar issue. I have a view that has a number of exposed filters and I wish to list what filter criteria is being used in the header.

Using the following code in the header:

$view = views_get_current_view();
print_r($view->exposed_input);

I get a print out of the data in the array (see attached screenshot).

My issue is that the first field, labeled "Location Code" is a node reference, and as you can see from the screen-shot the array is listing the value of the selected item(s) rather than the label (the title of the node).

If anyone can give any insight into printing the label (or title) of the node reference item(s) selected, rather than the value, I would appreciate it.

Thank you,

Scott

re #20

try

<?php
//field_hotel_group is the field name
$mappings = optionwidgets_options(content_fields('field_hotel_group'));
?>

Thanks so much, that was a big help.

Thanks again,

Here is an example that also works with Views 3:

$view = views_get_current_view();
if($view->exposed_input[field_date_value][value][year]) {
  return $view->exposed_input[field_date_value][value][year];
}
else {
  return 'all';
}

This post took me ages to find and helped me greatly. Thanks! :)

hello guys..

i used this snippet:

<?php
$view = views_get_current_view();
print $view->exposed_input[date_filter][value][year];
?>

it worked on my view, however it displays error messages.

any info about this is greatly appreciated! ^^

You need to use quotes(' or ") when your array keys are strings:

$view = views_get_current_view();
print $view->exposed_input['date_filter']['value']['year'];

For more help, please paste your whole code, the error is speaking of "line 6" and you are showing only two lines.

thank you bfr. It worked. i thought that the value passed on the filter is still an integer, never thought of it as string... :)

I use data from GET for display as title:

/**
 * THEME_PREPROCESS_VIEWS_VIEW
 * @param type $vars
 * 
 */
function MYTHEME_preprocess_views_view(&$vars) {
  if ($vars['view']->name == 'viewName') {
    // get var from GET
    $obj_type = $_GET['obj_type'];
    if (isset($obj_type)) {
      // obj_type is the taxonomy term, get taxonomy term name
      $tax_name=taxonomy_term_load($obj_type)->name;
      // if taxonomy term have parents
      $tax_parent = taxonomy_get_parents_all($obj_type);
      if (isset($tax_parent[1])) {
        // add parent name to taxonomy term name
        $tax_name =  $tax_parent[1]->name . ', ' . $tax_name;
      }
      //update title
      $vars['view']->build_info['title'] = $tax_name;
    }
}

Ok, I'm putting this out there because it worked for me. I added this code to the header of my block view.

$view = views_get_current_view();

if(isset($view->exposed_input['field_release_date_value']['value']['year'])) {
  echo "<h2>Press Releases for ", $view->exposed_input['field_release_date_value']['value']['year']; "</h2>";
}
else {
  echo  "<h2>Press Releases for ", date("Y"); "</h2>";
}

the field name that you are sorting is defined in the Better Exposed Filter settings (if you're using that). I kept trying field_release_date and that wasn't working. I needed to use field_release_date_value. I'm not getting any errors with this code.

I'm not really a PHP kinda guy, but I'm also throwing this out there for anyone who finds it useful. I needed to get custom text in the view header based on taxonomy term from which the view filters results. Like Museumboy above, I pulled the field name from Better Exposed Filters (term_node_tid_depth) and used it to get taxonomy term ID. Based on the term ID (numerical value) I put together a custom header. The code might be a little redundant (again, PHP not my strength), but it was an easy fix for custom headers. You would, of course, need to adjust the numerical TID values to match your own use case.

$view = views_get_current_view();

if(isset($view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth']) && $view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth'] == 1616) {
  echo "<div class=\"resultshead\"><h2>Some Custom Text for Term 1</h2></div>";
}

else if(isset($view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth']) && $view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth'] == 1606) {
  echo "<div class=\"resultshead\"><h2>Some Custom Text for Term 2</h2></div>";
}

else if(isset($view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth']) && $view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth'] == 1611) {
  echo "<div class=\"resultshead\"><h2>Some Custom Text for Term 3</h2></div>";
}

else if(isset($view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth']) && $view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth'] == 1621) {
  echo "<div class=\"resultshead\"><h2>Some Custom Text for Term 4</h2></div>";
}

else if(isset($view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth']) && $view->exposed_input['term_node_tid_depth'] == 1626) {
  echo "<div class=\"resultshead\"><h2>Some Custom Text for Term 5</h2></div>";
}
