JReviews 3 comes with Filters that allow you to make certain types of customizations and extend the functionality of JReviews without having to modify core files.

Contents


What is a Filter?

JReviews has many filter hooks strategically placed in the code at points where you may want to change or override the value of a variable at runtime.

Filters can modify data by binding a callback function to a filter hook. When the filter is executed, each callback function is run in order of priority, and can modify the filtered data by returning a new value.

For example, you can use a filter to:

  • Change the page title and metatags of different pages
  • Override the permissions of specific users or user groups for different events (creating listings, reviews, etc.)
  • Add or remove CSS and Scripts to and from the page.

Defining a new Filter Hook

JReviews 3 already comes with many filter hooks and we'll add more over time. However, if you need to create a new filter that is not yet available you would use the following syntax:

$data = \Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::filter('example_filter_name', $data, ['foo'=>$bar]);

Where:

  • $data is the variable that can be modified by filter callback function
  • $params are other arguments that can be passed to the filter callback function to provide context and their values cannot be modified by the filter.

Using Filter Functions

The following example shows how a callback function is bound to a filter hook:

function example_filter_callback_function($data, $params = [])
{
   // Modify $data in some way and return it
   return $data;
}
 
Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('example_filter_name', 'example_filter_callback_function', $priority = 10);

The $data variable can be modified inside the callback function and must always be returned at the end of the function.

To create new filter functions that are not overwritten on upgrades, create a new file in overrides and place your filter functions there:

Joomla

/templates/jreviews_overrides/filters/filter_functions.php

WordPress

/jreviews_overrides/filters/filter_functions.php

Available Filters

Notifications

Listing Inquiry Email Payload

Description

The "modify_inquiry_sender_info" filter is used to filter the inquiry email payload before the email is sent.

Usage

When the "modify_inquiry_sender_info" filter is called, it is passed two arguments. The first argument is an associative array with the email payload ($to, $bcc, $fromEmail, $fromName, $subject, $body). The second argument is an associative array with context data for the $listing and $event that triggered the email. $event is an object that allows retrieving sender user ID and IP address information.

Examples

Modify sender name and email

By default when an inquiry email is sent, the sender name and e-mail address are populated with the information entered in the inquiry form. This allows the recipient of the inquiry to reply directly to the sender. However, in some cases, you may not want the recipient to reply directly to the sender and you can use this filter to modify the email values before it is sent.

function modify_inquiry_sender_info($payload)
{
   $payload['fromEmail'] = '[email protected]';
 
   $payload['fromName'] = 'John Smith';
 
   return $payload;
}
 
Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('listing_inquiry_email_payload', 'modify_inquiry_sender_info', 10);

Asset Manager

Asset Manager Stylesheets

Description

The "asset_manager_stylesheets" filter is used to filter the stylesheets loaded by JReviews and Add-ons.

Usage

When the "asset_manager_stylesheets" filter is called, it is passed an associative array containing the paths of the stylesheets that will be loaded on the page. The array contains keys for different namespaces used to load stylesheets so it's possible to control the order in which these are loaded. The namespaces are: addon, core, bottom, and top.

Examples

Unload jQuery UI Stylesheet

It is possible to stop specific stylesheets from loading if you want to use your own stylesheets or have already overwritten them in your site's stylesheet.

function remove_stylesheets($stylesheets)
{
  // dd($stylesheets); // If you uncomment this line and refresh the page, you'll be able to see the contents of the $css array to find out the path you can use to unload a stylesheet
  unset($stylesheets['core']['jquery_ui_theme/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.css']);
 
  return $stylesheets;
}
 
Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('asset_manager_stylesheets', 'remove_stylesheets', 10);

Asset Manager Scripts

Description

The "asset_manager_scripts" filter is used to filter the scripts loaded by JReviews and Add-ons.

Usage

When the "asset_manager_scripts" filter is called, it is passed an associative array containing the paths of the scripts that will be loaded on the page. The array contains keys for different namespaces used to load scripts so it's possible to control the order in which these are loaded. The namespaces are: addon, core, bottom, and top.

Examples

Unload bxSlider Script
function remove_scripts($scripts)
{
  // dd($scripts); // If you uncomment this line and refresh the page, you'll be able to see the contents of the $scripts array to find out the path you can use to unload a script
  unset($jsArray['top']['bxslider-4/jquery.bxslider.min.js']);
 
  return $scripts;
}
 
Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('asset_manager_scripts', 'remove_scripts', 10);

Metatags

Page Title

Description

The "page_title_metatag" filter is used to filter page title tag.

Usage

When the "page_title_metatag" filter is called, it is passed two arguments. The first argument is the page title. The second argument is an associative array with context data.

function page_title_tag($title, $params)
{
  // Uncomment line below to dump title and context data to screen
  // dd($title, $params); 
 
  return $title;
}
 
Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('page_title_metatag', 'page_title_tag', 10);
