Hi –
I found the great tutorial about using the Layout Builder in Custom Posts.
https://kriesi.at/support/topic/displaying-custom-post-types-inside-of-the-avia-layout-builder/Is there any easy way to do this with a Child Theme, or is it only possible to edit the meta.php file within config-template-builder in Enfold, which we would have to update everytime we update the enfold theme?
Hi blankonblank!
You can add this on the child theme’s functions.php.
add_filter('avf_builder_boxes','enable_boxes_on_posts'); function enable_boxes_on_posts($boxes) { $boxes[] = array( 'title' =>__('Avia Layout Builder','avia_framework' ), 'id'=>'avia_builder', 'page'=>array('page','post', 'portfolio'), 'context'=>'normal', 'expandable'=>true ); $boxes[] = array( 'title' =>__('Layout','avia_framework' ), 'id'=>'layout', 'page'=>array('page','post', 'portfolio'), 'context'=>'side', 'priority'=>'low'); $boxes[] = array( 'title' =>__('Additional Portfolio Settings','avia_framework' ), 'id'=>'preview', 'page'=>array('page','post','portfolio'), 'context'=>'normal', 'priority'=>'high' ); return $boxes; }Note that we don’t recommend this modification because there are certain issues when using the ALB on posts.
Cheers!
IsmaelHi!
I edited my last comment above. My mistake. You can use a filter to add the ALB on post. Issues are usually minor like featured image not working, contents might not be rendered as usual etc.
Best regards,
Ismaelso do i need to always make sure the change is made to meta.php file within config-template-builder or will the change to functions.php in my child theme do the trick?
Hey!
Yes, as long as that is the post type slug.
The issue with enabling the ALB on posts is a bit deeper since the output for the builder is in a separate meta field than the regular post data. So queries returned on content created with the builder show as blank.
Its a significant code change to make it universally usable but I know Kriesi has been looking into it a bit.
Best regards,
DevinThat should work from the way you’ve described it. It shouldn’t be more than an hour to do a mock up on a dev site so you can test it out a bit.
If the “posts” don’t need to be actual WordPress posts then making them pages is definitely fine. The big reason I don’t like making the change for posts to use the ALB right now is that post data would not be transportable to a new theme later on and since most users tend to want to use the blog/post functionality as a true blog it can mean a lot of extra work later on.
Hi!
I’ll ask the rest of the support team if they’re available for this particular task. You can also visit Envato Studio or Werkpress for further customization.
Cheers!
