Using in conjunction with multiple meta queries in REST url

[reuben-stone]

Is it possible to use this query in conjunction with other meta queries with a relation of OR?

For example, I need to pull in a bunch of listings based on their lat and long values, but also need to include all listings with a listing_type of 'National' and 'State-wide'.

I currently query the National and State-wide listings via this filter in the url:

'?filter[meta_query][relation]=OR&filter[meta_query][0][key]=state_wide_state&filter[meta_query][0][value]=' + this.state + '&filter[meta_query][1][key]=cause_type&filter[meta_query][1][value]=National'

Is there a way I can use this geo-query as another meta_query or combine them in some way?

Many thanks

Hi Reuben,

I guess the AND case would be covered with the Rest API usage example mentioned here:

https://github.com/birgire/geo-query

using the PHP snippet there and then:

https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?geo_location={"lat":"64.128288","lng":"-21.827774","radius":"50"}&...other...

But I'm not sure at the moment what would be the best way to handle it with OR as the geo query is not part of the WP_Meta_Query class. Maybe that would be an interesting path to look at for the plugin?

I remember playing with:

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/178492/26350

for meta query and a simple title search. and also a way to combine two WP_Query here:

https://github.com/birgire/wp-combine-queries

but these methods might not be useful here?

It looks you're not using the native WP REST API filters, if I recall correctly the filter parameter is no longer supported. I guess you're using a plugin for that, maybe that plugin has a support for such an adjustment with other queries?

Thanks for the reply.

I'll take a look at the links you sent over and see if I can possibly make a custom endpoint for this specific use case.

I was just wondering though, with the custom filter for the geo-query, would it at all be possible to add in a relational meta query into the filter itself. This may be a bit out there and not possible at all, but as all I need to do it modify the lat long returned response to also include posts with a meta query value, could something like this work?

`add_filter( 'rest_cause_query', function( $args, $request ) {
$geo = json_decode( $request->get_param( 'geo_location' ) );
if ( isset( $geo->lat, $geo->lng ) ) {

    $meta_query = array(
                    'key'     => 'cause_type',
                    'value'   => 'National',
                    'compare' => 'IN',
                );

    $args['geo_query'] = [
        'lat'                =>  (float) $geo->lat,
        'lng'                =>  (float) $geo->lng,
        'lat_meta_key'       =>  'latitude',
        'lng_meta_key'       =>  'longitude',
        'radius'             =>  ($geo->radius) ? (float) $geo->radius : 50,
        'order'              =>  'ASC', 
        'meta_query'         =>  $meta_query,
        'relation'           =>  'OR',
    ];
}
return $args;

}, 10, 2 );`

Or would this require configuration of the plugin itself?
Thanks again.

Actually clearly that would require re-writing the plugin.

It would be good if it were possible to have the geo-query as part of the WP_Meta_Query class. Then we could use this in conjunction with other queries.
