Hi,
first: I am not a coder and try to work with PHP with try&error :-D
I would like to work not with a filter for the functions.php like @Ismael has posted somewhere in the forum, but for a better control for myself directly in the fileav-helper-masonry.php
around line 539
where the part is
$this->loop[$key]['text_before'] = ""; $this->loop[$key]['text_after'] = ""; $this->loop[$key]['ID'] = $id = $entry->ID; $this->loop[$key]['post_type'] = $entry->post_type; $this->loop[$key]['thumb_ID'] = get_post_thumbnail_id($id); $this->loop[$key]['the_title'] = get_the_title($id);Could you please tell me, what PHP code exactly I need to add in that way
between the thumbnail and the title,
to output the category name in this theme file?Without a good PHP knowledge I have tried it with this part:
$this->loop[$key]['category'] = get_the_category($id);but this has no effect. How should it be right?
Thank you.Hey Gitte,
Can we ask why not use the filter?
Filters will help with the update and on how to use it faster without having to modify the file each time.The get_category function has to be worked somehow like that
$post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( 4 );
$categories = get_the_category($post_categories[0]);Best regards,
BasilisI work within the theme files, it is easier for me and my bad PHP knowledge, and it is easier for me with further tweaks of this styling – that’s my way to work.
So I placed your snippet as asked into av-helper-masonry.php around line 539 in this context:
$this->loop[$key]['text_before'] = ""; $this->loop[$key]['text_after'] = ""; $this->loop[$key]['ID'] = $id = $entry->ID; $this->loop[$key]['post_type'] = $entry->post_type; $this->loop[$key]['thumb_ID'] = get_post_thumbnail_id($id); $post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( 4 ); $categories = get_the_category($post_categories[0]); $this->loop[$key]['the_title'] = get_the_title($id); $this->loop[$key]['url'] = get_permalink($id); $this->loop[$key]['date'] = "<span class='av-masonry-date meta-color updated'>".get_the_time($date_format, $id)."</span>"; $this->loop[$key]['author'] = "<span class='av-masonry-author meta-color vcard author'><span class='fn'>". __('by','avia_framework') .' '. $author."</span></span>"; $this->loop[$key]['class'] = get_post_class("av-masonry-entry isotope-item", $id); $this->loop[$key]['content'] = strip_tags( $entry->post_excerpt ); $this->loop[$key]['description'] = !empty($entry->post_content) ? $entry->post_content : $entry->post_excerpt;and this output no category name above the title:
Please test it at your demo installation, my site is not yet online. Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for the update.
Instead of editing the file directly, you can use this filter to insert the categories after the masonry image.
add_filter( 'avf_masonry_loop_prepare', 'avf_masonry_loop_prepare_mod_cat', 10, 2 ); function avf_masonry_loop_prepare_mod_cat( $key, $entries ) { $categories = get_the_category($key['ID']); $separator = ', '; $output = ''; $items = count($categories); $i = 0; if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) { foreach( $categories as $category ) { if($i++ === $items) { $separator = ''; } $output .= '<span alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts in %s', 'textdomain' ), $category->name ) ) . '">' . esc_html( $category->name ) . '</span>' . $separator; } } $key['text_before'] .= trim( $output, $separator ); return $key; }You won’t be able to click on the category items though, because they are inside the masonry item, which is a link element itself.
Best regards,
Ismaelthank you, Ismael, appreciate your help, but sorry to bother you, but could you please give me the solution for editing the theme file directly please?
The reason is, I cannot “tweak” that filter thing from you with my bad PHP knowledge for further adaptions, but I guess I would more success for further editing things in that file, when I have your solution for the theme file directly. Thanks.
Hi,
No problem. You can add this code right before line 409.
$categories = get_the_category($entry['ID']); $separator = ', '; $count = count($categories); $i = 0; $output_cat = "<div class'masonry-categories'>"; if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) { foreach( $categories as $category ) { if($i++ === $count) { $separator = ''; } $output_cat .= '<span alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts in %s', 'textdomain' ), $category->name ) ) . '">' . esc_html( $category->name ) . '</span>' . $separator; } } $output_cat .= "</div>"; $cat = trim( $output_cat, $separator ); $text_before .= $cat;Or just add it below this code:
else if(strpos($html_tags[0], 'a href=') !== false) { $display = empty( $title ) ? $the_title : $title; $linktitle = 'title="' . esc_attr( $display ) . '"'; }Best regards,
Ismael
