    Hi guys, is there any way to use custom fields in the blog post/slider/grid/masonry list shortcodes on Enfold?

    I have a page setup which pulls posts from my custom post type/taxonomy using the masonry element, but it only has options to show the title/excerpt etc. I have some other custom fields which I’d also like to show below the title and excerpt.

    Please can you tell me how I can include the extra custom fields. I presume I would need to create a function or filter to hook into the shortcode, but I’m not sure how to do that. Please can you help?

    Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you
    Duncan

    Hey Duncan!

    Yes, it’s possible. You’d need to edit the respective shortcode file (/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/) and include the meta value somewhere in the shortcode output.

    Play with it and feel free to ask any questions regarding this but please be specific on what element you’re using.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Josue, I’ll have a go at including the meta key into the shortcode.

    Ideally I’d like to create a function which does this, so that future updates of Enfold don’t overwrite the changes to the shortcode. Would that be possible? I’ll have a play and will reply back if I can’t get it work properly.

    I know this may come under ‘customisation’ rather then theme support, but I’d really like to learn how to do it myself.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Ok, working with the masonry shortcode (masonry_entries.php), I can see that I need to add the meta values to $items (around line 620). Please can you tell me how I can create a function in my child theme which adds the meta values to that variable on line 620?

    Hi!

    There are no available hooks around that afaik so you’d need to overwrite the element source from your child theme, refer to this article:

    Hi,

    Duplicate helper-masonry.php in your child theme and include it from your child theme functions.php:

    require("helper-masonry.php");

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    /config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/blog.php uses /includes/loop-index.php:

    get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'index' );

    So that’s the file you’d want to mod.

    Best regards,
