Changing the URL of post format link

Hey Richard,

I think you can add your acf code after this line of code:

if($newlink) $link = $newlink;

you can add:

if( get_field( "mylink" ) ) $link = get_field( "mylink" );

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Hi Richard,

You can see this code below from the code you posted:

$current_post['url'] = $link;

this basically just means that it just changes the current post’s url but not the content, so it will just change the link but content is still the same.
Can you give us a link to the page where you want it to take effect? as well as give us admin access, so we can try to check the backend.
Just post the details in private content, so it’s only the moderators who can view it.

Best regards,

Hi raslade,

Thanks I’m getting this in the frontend (href is an error):

<a href="Error: Function does not exist. Check name in shortcode or is function name is loaded." target="_blank">Agenda April 2016</a>

I also Appearance > Editor isn’t available. Can we request for ftp access? so we can access the files as well and try to inspect further.

Best regards,

Hi raslade,

I have checked it and noticed that the code you posted above had nothing to do with the shortcode you used, that’s why nothing is happening.
The only thing I noticed is that the [php_function] shortcode that you used:

<a href='[php_function name='download_report']' target="_blank">[post_title]</a></h3>

isn’t defined that’s why I could see the error in the previous post. I’m not really familiar with the plugin you’re using but I think you can instead create your own shortcode which I think you can customize better.

Hi Richard,

I think that’s better.
Since you are using Blog Posts, you can override config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > blog to your child theme.

Hi Richard,

I have added a postslider folder under the shortcodes folder of your child theme and copied postslider.php from the enfold theme.
Then after this code (line 468-480):

if($format == 'link')
{
		$current_post = array();
		$current_post['content'] = $entry->post_content;
		$current_post['title'] =  $entry->post_title;

		if(function_exists('avia_link_content_filter'))
		{
				$current_post = avia_link_content_filter($current_post);
		}

		$link = $current_post['url'];
}

I added this code:

if( get_field( 'download_report') ) {
	$link = get_field( 'download_report');
}

Hi Richard,

Glad to hear that, I have replaced:

if( get_field( 'download_report') ) {
	$link = get_field( 'download_report');
}

with:

if( get_field( 'download_report', $the_id) ) {
	$link = get_field( 'download_report', $the_id);
}

Let us know if you need further assistance.
