Customfields name or label

    Hello,

    I’m using catlist with a template.
    In this template I’m reading my custom fields: $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_custom_fields($post);

    On a page I display the customfields using [catlist customfield_display_name="yes"].

    Instead of the NAME, I would like to use the LABEL.
    That label is used on the edit screen.
    How do I display that label on my page?
    F.i.: [catlist customfield_display_label="yes"] this doesn’t do the trick

    Which editor are you using? In the default WP editor I am used to there is “Name” and “Value” for custom fields, no “Label”.

    I’m using the default (classic) WP editor.
    So in the backend I see the fieldlabel. In frontend I see the fieldname.

    Ofcourse I can use this in my template:

    $field_object = get_field_object( 'Met', $post->ID );
echo $field_object['label'];

    But I would prefer to get the label with the catlist-command.

    In the default WP editor there is no ‘label’. What you are referring to is, if memory servers, the ACF plugin which provides the get_field_object function. I am afraid the LCP plugin has no direct integration with ACF to support their ‘label’ feature.

    But I would prefer to get the label with the catlist-command.

    So as you can see this is not possible right now, the solution with get_field_object you showed should get it done, though.

    Could you tell me how you solved this issue?
    Where to paste your code?
    Thank you!

    I did not use this code. Just made sure the fieldname was the label I wanted.

    Thanks for the answer!
    It is a pity for me that this is a problem that I have not been able to solve yet.

    I think you can solve this bij making a custom-template. You have to put such a template in your childtheme-map in a submap called ‘list-category-posts’.
    Copy the default-template in the custom-template (you can find the default-template in the plugin-editor: list-category-posts/templates/default.php) and make some changes like in my question.
    On your page you put: [catlist name=”xxxxx” template=yyyyy]*

    *yyyyy is the name of your custom template

    //Custom fields:
    $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_custom_fields($field_object);
    $field_object = get_field_object( ‘timing’, $post->ID );
    echo $field_object[‘label’];

    I did everything as you said but it doesn’t work.
    If it’s not difficult, could you send me a piece of the working code.
    Thank you!

    Is your custom template working?
    I read here that you should create a folder named list-category-posts under wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder (not in your child-theme as I did).

    Ваш собственный шаблон работает?
    Я прочитал здесь , что вы должны создать папку с именем list-category-posts в wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder (а не в вашей дочерней теме, как я).

    The template works!
    I don’t know where to put your code to make it work.
    Maybe it needs to be changed?

    if ($field_object = get_field_object( 'Met', $post->ID ))
echo $field_object['label'];

    Where Met is the name of the custom field

    Put it right after:

     //Custom fields:
 $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_custom_fields($post);

    //Custom fields:
    $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_custom_fields($post);
    if ($field_object = get_field_object( ‘timing’, $post->ID ))
    echo $field_object[‘label’];

    So he did everything, does not replace.
    Outputs the title at the top of the block to a line.

    Thats right. Now you have the label available you can find a way to put it where you want.

    Thank you!
    But I’ve tried everything and nothing works.
    I don’t know how to insert a label instead of a name in the right place.
    If you know please help.
