Fixed Tiles to static position in Grid

    Please can you tell me how this should work?

    Query all the posts (your normal WP Tiles query goes here)
    $query = new WP_Query(array(
    ‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
    ‘posts_per_page’ => 18,
    ‘paged’ => 1
    ) );

    // Query the pages that have a static position
    $pages = get_posts( array(
    ‘meta_key’ => ’tile-position’,
    ‘post_type’ => ‘page’,
    ‘posts_per_page’ => 20
    ) );

    // Loop over the pages, check their position and put them there in the posts array
    foreach ( $pages as $page ) {

    $position = get_post_meta( $page->ID, ’tile-position’, true );

    if ( empty ( $position ) || ! is_numeric ( $position ) )
    continue;

    // Magic happens here:
    array_splice ( $query->posts, $position – 1, 0, array ( $page ) );
    }

    // WP Tiles arguments
    $args = array();

    // Display the tiles
    the_wp_tiles( $query, $args );

    I have wordpresss 4.1 installed and the latest version of wp_tiles.
    I want to fix some tiles in certain positions and fill them with all kinds of content.

    I do not understand the above code. Can you explain in detail?

    Hi @mwalima,

    What are you trying to achieve exactly? If you just want to show tiles in fixed positions, you can use the id parameter to display a fixed set of tiles. For example:

    [wp-tiles id=324,895,23,987]

    The code you quoted is to be used if you want to hardcode WP Tiles in your PHP templates and but want some tile positions to display a fixed post/page. It first makes a generic query to get the collection of dynamic posts, and then ‘inserts’ the static pages into the correct places. See also the documentation on template tags if you are interested in manually building your tiles like this.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    I want to fix some tiles in a certain grid position for instance like
    grid position 0 7 and 9

    With the information you sent me i guess you put 4 tiles in these positions?
    Do i have to insert this piece of code “[wp-tiles id=324,895,23,987]” in the php file?

    further more, about the quoted code, where can i find the php file and position to adjust it?(like wp_tiles.php line 345)

    Thanks Mwalima

    I put inside the post i want to fix this code:

    [wp-tiles post_type=”” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” posts_per_page=”auto” category=”” tag=”” tax_operator=”IN” meta_key=”0″ offset=”0″ post_status=”publish” ignore_sticky_posts=”true” exclude_current_post=”true” grids=”EigenGrid” small_screen_grid=”News” breakpoint=”800″ padding=”5″ pagination=”paging” grid_selector_color=”#444444″]

    but i don`t see anything getting fixed.
