Sticky posts magazine

Hey profumopuntoit,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Are you going to add magazine elements on different pages? If that is the case, you can replace the function that retrieves the sticky post with the get_post function and use the is_page conditional function to check for the current page. Look for this line..

$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

.., and replace with:

$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

if(is_page(11)) {
   $sticky = get_post(123);
}

The code above will check if the page has the ID 11 and assign the post with the ID 123 as sticky post.

Hi,

Thank you for the info.

We adjusted the filter in the functions.php file a bit. The post items from the selected category are now displaying properly in the magazine element with the selected or sticky post above.

This is the updated code.

/*  https://kriesi.at/support/topic/sticky-posts-in-magazine-element/ */
add_filter('avf_magazine_entries_query', 'avf_magazine_entries_query_sticky', 10, 2);
function avf_magazine_entries_query_sticky($query, $params) {	

	$include = array();

	$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

        if(is_single(10137)) {
	   $sticky = array(get_post(4649)->ID);
	}

	$query['post__not_in'] = $sticky;
	$posts = get_posts( $query );

	foreach($posts as $post) {
		$include[] = $post->ID;
	}

	$include = array_merge($sticky, $include);

	$query['post__in'] = $include;
	$query['orderby'] = 'post__in'; // sort items based on the post__in value
	return $query;
}

We replace is_page with the is_single function because the magazine element is inside a post.

 if(is_single(10137)) {
      $sticky = array(get_post(4649)->ID);
}

We also placed the post with the ID 4649 inside an array. If you need to display a different sticky post on a different page, just duplicate the if statement above and replace the post IDs.

if(is_single(113)) {
      $sticky = array(get_post(235)->ID);
}

The changes above will display the post with the ID 235 as a sticky item inside a post with the ID 113.

Hi,

If there are multiple magazine elements in a single page, we could check for the class attribute value or names of each magazine element and assign a sticky post accordingly. Example:

/* https://kriesi.at/support/topic/sticky-posts-in-magazine-element/ */
function avf_magazine_entries_query_sticky($query, $params) {	
	$include = array();

	$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

    if(is_single(10137)) {
		// first magazine element
		if(true == strpos($params["class"], "avia-builder-el-0")) {
			$sticky_id = 4649;
		}

		// second magazine element
		if(true == strpos($params["class"], "avia-builder-el-1")) {
			$sticky_id = 2301;
		}

		// third magazine element
		if(true == strpos($params["class"], "avia-builder-el-2")) {
			$sticky_id = 1236;
		}

		$sticky = array(get_post($sticky_id)->ID);
	}

	$query['post__not_in'] = $sticky;
	$posts = get_posts( $query );

	foreach($posts as $post) {
		$include[] = $post->ID;
	}

	$include = array_merge($sticky, $include);

	$query['post__in'] = $include;
	$query['orderby'] = 'post__in'; // sort items based on the post__in value
	return $query;
}
add_filter('avf_magazine_entries_query', 'avf_magazine_entries_query_sticky', 10, 2);

This part of the code checks for the class name of the first, second and third magazine element and return the corresponding sticky post.

// first magazine element
		if(true == strpos($params["class"], "avia-builder-el-0")) {
			$sticky_id = 4649;
		}

		// second magazine element
		if(true == strpos($params["class"], "avia-builder-el-1")) {
			$sticky_id = 2301;
		}

		// third magazine element
		if(true == strpos($params["class"], "avia-builder-el-2")) {
			$sticky_id = 1236;
		}

You can combine these conditions with the is_page function to display a specific sticky post for different magazine element within a specific page.
