Ismael,

The ternary operator worked. They are actually easier than if / else once you get your head around them. :)

Thanks

Tim

Cool,

Thanks everyone for the pointers so far. Managed to remove the dates and add in my custom field data instead. Found another date I want gone though. The ajax search from the menu also displays a date.
Which php file needs tweaking?

Thanks

TJ

Hi Victoria,

That would make sense :’)

**UPDATE**

The RSS feed widgets isn’t found in there. The widget is this one in the backend…

And out puts a post title, date and author. I wish to add my custom field to the output.

Thanks

TJ

Ah,
Worth a try I’ll just keep reviving this topic when I need to ask.

I’m using the Multi Author Blog layout and want to tweak the meta info that appears and add a custom field (see image below)

Which php file needs tweaking?

I’m also after adding the same custom field to the rss widget. Which php file needs tweaking?
Can’t screen shot that as contains sensitive info.

Thanks

Tim

Hi,

One more quesion and then it can be closed.

Can /config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider.php be placed inside the child theme rather than editing the main theme file?

Thanks

Tim

I photoshopped it out so no one on here could read it. The issue isn’t because of the excerpt or content. I know what i want is possible because like i said i can get plain text to appear where i want. The problem is if i paste various pieces of code the out put breaks, so I must not be using the correct code.

To add a CF in standard wordpress theme you use
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Mood', true); ?>

Pasting that into the postslider.php just returns errors

Notice: Undefined variable: post in /config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider.php on line 575

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider.php on line 575

I’m not sure how to translate that first bit of code so it outputs the CF.

Thanks

TJ

Hi all,

I’ve only just got back to this after 7 months and I need some help.

I know from Dude’s reply I’m in the right place and I’ve found the code that I need to tweak. This has been confirmed by sticking some text in there that does show in blog grid meta.

Code to tweak

if($show_meta && !empty($excerpt))
					{
						$meta  = "<div class='slide-meta'>";
						if ( $commentCount != "0" || comments_open($the_id) && $entry->post_type != 'portfolio')
						{
							$link_add = $commentCount === "0" ? "#respond" : "#comments";
							$text_add = $commentCount === "1" ? __('Comment', 'avia_framework' ) : __('Comments', 'avia_framework' );
							$meta .= "<div class='slide-meta-comments'><a href='{$link}{$link_add}'>{$commentCount} {$text_add}</a><p>TEST</p></div><div class='slide-meta-del'>/</div>";
						}
                        $markup = avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'entry_time','echo'=>false, 'id'=>$the_id, 'custom_markup'=>$custom_markup));
						$meta .= "<time class='slide-meta-time updated' $markup>" .get_the_time(get_option('date_format'), $the_id)."</time>";
						$meta .= "</div>";
						
						if( strpos($blogstyle, 'elegant-blog') === false )
						{
							$output .= $meta;
							$meta = "";
						}

Result

Nice one, stage one complete.

Stage two is to get the custom field data to show where TEST is and this is where I’m coming unstuck.
No matter which code I use the custom field data doens’t show. I’ve tried various formats of the code and none work.
See examples below….

  if($show_meta && !empty($excerpt))
					{
						$meta  = "<div class='slide-meta'>";
						if ( $commentCount != "0" || comments_open($the_id) && $entry->post_type != 'portfolio')
						{
							$link_add = $commentCount === "0" ? "#respond" : "#comments";
							$text_add = $commentCount === "1" ? __('Comment', 'avia_framework' ) : __('Comments', 'avia_framework' );
							$cptlink = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'linkedinurl', true);
							$meta .= "<div class='slide-meta-comments'><a href='{$link}{$link_add}'>{$commentCount} {$text_add} {$cptlink}</a></div><div class='slide-meta-del'>/</div>";
						}

 if($show_meta && !empty($excerpt))
					{
						$meta  = "<div class='slide-meta'>";
						if ( $commentCount != "0" || comments_open($the_id) && $entry->post_type != 'portfolio')
						{
							$link_add = $commentCount === "0" ? "#respond" : "#comments";
							$text_add = $commentCount === "1" ? __('Comment', 'avia_framework' ) : __('Comments', 'avia_framework' );
							$cptlink = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'linkedinurl', true);
							$meta .= "<div class='slide-meta-comments'><a href='{$link}{$link_add}'>{$commentCount} {$text_add} {$cptlink}</a></div><div class='slide-meta-del'>/</div>";
						}

 if($show_meta && !empty($excerpt))
					{
						$meta  = "<div class='slide-meta'>";
						if ( $commentCount != "0" || comments_open($the_id) && $entry->post_type != 'portfolio')
						{
							$link_add = $commentCount === "0" ? "#respond" : "#comments";
							$text_add = $commentCount === "1" ? __('Comment', 'avia_framework' ) : __('Comments', 'avia_framework' );
							$meta .= "<div class='slide-meta-comments'><a href='{$link}{$link_add}'>{$commentCount} {$text_add} </a><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'linkedinurl', true); ?></div><div class='slide-meta-del'>/</div>";
						}

So the question is how can I get data from the custom field called ‘linkedinurl’ to show?
The custom field is on a custom post type does that matter? A little help pointing me in the right direction would be super :)

Thanks

Tim

Hi,

That link works for displaying a different menu somewhere on the page, why didn’t they just use the sub-menu element?

I want to change the mobile menu call so a different menu is displayed in reference to this post.

Show my ubermenu unless on mobile then display another.

Thanks

Tim

Hey Ismael,

I’ll remove the var statement part and see what happens.

Is there a way to and more click functions to that code for other buttons? like below..

function superpowers_script_event(){
?>
<script>
jQuery('.powers-btn-1 a').click(function(){	
	ga('send', 'event', { eventCategory: 'superpowers', eventAction: 'download', eventLabel: 'joinedup', eventValue: 1});
});
jQuery('.powers-btn-2 a').click(function(){	
	ga('send', 'event', { eventCategory: 'superpowers', eventAction: 'download', eventLabel: 'joinedup', eventValue: 1});
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'superpowers_script_event');

I only need to load one function then rather than multiple. Would the above work? Is there a neater way to do it?
Again i know this is way off theme support so no rush :)

Thanks

TJ

Hi,

I’m currently using css to hide the meta info (see first post).
What I then want to do is add in some info from a custom field, hence wanting to get at the php.

I’m using the blog post element, rather than the team member section as I prefer the functionality. In the backend staff is a custom post type that the blog post element then pulls to the live page and displays in the grid layout. I have added a custom field to each “staff” which I then want to display in place of the meta info.

Thanks

TJ

Hi,
Which php template is responsible for the blog post element? More specifically where is the php loop that controls the meta info? Currently it looks for post count and date of a post. I can tweak that to show a Custom field instead once I know where it is.

Thanks

TJ

EDIT.

I have found that loop-index.php can be tweaked to replace meta info on a single post page.
Still can’t find which php file outputs the blog post element.
