Custom default popularity search breaking Elastic Press Search

[alexchudnovsky]

Describe your question

Hi Everyone,

We have written some custom functions to have a custom sort by popularity search order for woo commerce
Basically where you see the drop down on the catalog listing page, sort by latest, sort by popularity etc

But if we make the default sorting order for woo commerce our 'sort by popularity' option
it completely breaks the elasticPress search

I am wondering if anyone can please let me know what would I need to do, so that we can set up our custom sort by popularity as default without breaking ElasticPress search

Below I have attached the custom code for our sort by popularity search

public function custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $sortby ) {
	$wcgp_settings_options = get_option( 'wcgp_settings_options' );	
	if(isset($wcgp_settings_options['wcgp_settings_enabelgpp']) && $wcgp_settings_options['wcgp_settings_enabelgpp']==1) {
		unset($sortby['popularity']);
		$sortby['grouped_popularity'] = __( 'Sort by popularity', 'woocommerce' );
	}	
	if(isset($wcgp_settings_options['wcgp_settings_enabelsortbya2z']) && $wcgp_settings_options['wcgp_settings_enabelsortbya2z']==1) {
		$sortby['alphabetical'] = __( 'Sort by name: A to Z', 'woocommerce' );
	}		
	return $sortby;
}
function custom_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args( $args ) {

	$orderby_value = isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ? wc_clean( $_GET['orderby'] ) : apply_filters( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', get_option( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby' ) );

	if ( 'grouped_popularity' == $orderby_value ) {
		$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
		$args['order'] = 'DESC';
		$args['meta_key'] = 'total_sales';
		$args['tax_query'] = array(
			array(
				'taxonomy' => 'product_type',
				'field'    => 'slug',
				'terms'    => 'grouped',
			),
		);
	}	
	if ( $orderby_value === 'alphabetical' ) {
		$args['orderby'] = 'title';
		$args['order'] = 'asc';
	}
	return $args;
}

And you can see how this is getting intitialsied

public function __construct() {	
	add_action('admin_menu', array($this, 'wcgp_add_submenu'));

	add_action('admin_init', array($this, 'register_wcgp_settings'));

	add_filter('cron_schedules', array($this,'add_cron_interval_for_ten_mins'));
	add_action('update_grouped_product_sales', array($this,'update_grouped_product_sales'));	
	// Schedule the event to run every 10 minutes
	if (!wp_next_scheduled('update_grouped_product_sales')) {
		wp_schedule_event(time(), 'ten_minutes', 'update_grouped_product_sales');
	}		
	add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby_options', array($this,'custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby') );
	add_filter( 'woocommerce_catalog_orderby', array($this,'custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby') );

	add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', array($this,'custom_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args') );
	
	add_action('init',array( $this, 'callAFunction' ));// for calling all ajax based frunction from here
	
}

Many thanks in advance

With Kind Regards,
Alex
