Insert Pods-Custom-Fields to current post_content with Templates

Hello @reflexa

But I want this to do by using a template.

What kind of template?
Theme (WordPress) template or Pods template?

Thanks, Jory

Hello Jory,
Pods template.
Thanks,
Reflexa

Hello @reflexa
That would be a magic tag then: {@post_content}.

Hello Jory,
I think you don’t understand my problem.

I’ve got got an PODS-Template with [each]HTML {magic-tags} HTML[/each]

I could use the code of PODS-Template without a pods-template inside the post-content-field.
But I want a shorter code – and I think it’s much more easier if I change one pods-template instead of the [pods-code] in many posts.

The problem is now: A pods-template shows many results, but I want only to show the fields of the current post and not from other posts.

Best regards, Reflexa

Ah check.
Your where statement is incorrect in that case.
where="id={@id}" would match the ID of the current post, not it’s relationship field.

You will have to create your own function with output a correct where syntax to search for. The field would not be {@id} but {@custom_field}.
To call a custom function use: {@custom_field,my_function}, see: https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/magic-tags/display-filters-with-magic-tags/

Also your where syntax will need to use IN instead of =. Example: where="t.id IN (1,2,3,4)"

Also, see this page:
https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-templates/using-shortcodes-in-pods-templates/#masthead

Good luck!

Sorry for my bad English. That’s why it’s not so easy to understand my issues.

Now I added define('PODS_SHORTCODE_ALLOW_SUB_SHORTCODES',true); to my wp-config.php.

Basically I want match the ID of the current post to show the fields of the custom-fields of the current post.

Example:
Pod: members
custom-fields: phone (field-type: Phone), downloads (field-type: File / Image / Video)

Entries:
id=1, post_title: Tarzan, post_content: King of the jungle, phone: 999-111, downloads: tarzan.pdf
id=2, post_title: Simba, post_content: Lion King, phone: 999-222, downloads: simba1.pdf, simba2.pdf
id=3, post_title: Arielle, post_content: The little mermaid, phone: 999-333, downloads: arielle.pdf

To display also the custom fields without modifying the wordpress-theme, I add this code into post_content of Tarzan:

[pods name="members" template="my_template"]

template: my_template:

<ul>
	<li>Phone: {@phone}</li>
	<li>Downloads: {@downloads}</li>
</ul>

Now I look at domain.com/members/Tarzan:

The result is:

Tarzan
King of the jungle

Phone: 999-111
Downloads: https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/tarzan.pdf

Phone: 999-222
Downloads: https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/simba1.pdf https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/simba2.pdf

Phone: 999-333
Downloads: https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/arielle.pdf

Unfortunately not the result I want. I want:

Tarzan
King of the jungle

Phone: 999-111
Downloads: https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/tarzan.pdf

So I tried the following pods-code:

[pods name="members" template="my_template" where="id={@id}"]
and
[pods name="members" template="my_template" slug="{@id}"]

The result is:

Tarzan
King of the jungle

Okay, the code doesn’t work.

That’s why I added define('PODS_SHORTCODE_ALLOW_SUB_SHORTCODES',true); to my wp-config.php.

Now I wrote:
[pods name="members" template="my_template" where="id={@id}" shortcodes=1]
and
[pods name="members" template="my_template" slug="{@id}" shortcodes=1]

The result is:

Tarzan
King of the jungle

Okay, obviously {@id} inside the [pods …] doesn’t work.

Now I am at a loss.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards, Reflexa

[pods name=”members” template=”my_template” where=”id={@id}” shortcodes=1]
and
[pods name=”members” template=”my_template” slug=”{@id}” shortcodes=1]

You can also do:

[pods name="members" template="my_template" id="{@id}"]

Besides that.
If you are in a Pods template you dont need shortcodes.
You can just use the magic tags that you’ve used in my_template.

So instead of the shortcode you can just use this:

<ul>
	<li>Phone: {@phone}</li>
	<li>Downloads: {@downloads}</li>
</ul>

Keep in mind, this is ONLY for Pods Templates.
If you use this in the regular Post Content then it should be this:

<ul>
	<li>Phone: [pods field="phone"]</li>
	<li>Downloads: [pods field="downloads"]</li>
</ul>

Let me know if this helps!
