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

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!
JosueMay 5, 2015 at 11:11 am #439631Thanks 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?- This reply was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by Dunc R.

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:

You’d need to edit
/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/helper-masonry.php
can you post a link to your site so we can take a closer look?Best regards,
JosueJune 3, 2016 at 3:11 pm #642574Thanx @Josue for your reply
Actually I am working in Child theme, means i do not want updates to disturb my work in future…….
I already know about where i could make changes actually, but I don’t know how to handle this case living in child theme. Hope you can help me someway.
Site link is not yet available, i am working on localhost……

Duplicate helper-masonry.php in your child theme and include it from your child theme functions.php:
require("helper-masonry.php");
Best regards,
JosueJune 4, 2016 at 6:23 am #642835Oh, Thank you so much @Josue, that was pretty simple, (y)

June 19, 2016 at 10:56 am #650396Hi,
/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,
