List of custom posts in a PODS Template

    I have two custom post:

    Location
    Staff Member

    I have set up the following PODS templates:

    Staff Member – this show the fields in the Staff Member custom post correctly
    Staff Member Archive – this lists fields from the the posts in the Staff Member post type
    Location – this shows the fields in the Location post type correctly

    What I would like is to have the Staff Member posts listed in the Location template. I have tried the following:

    [pods name=”staff_member” template=”staff_member_archive” limit=”5″][/pods]
    [pods name=”staff_member” id=”61″]{@first_name} is great![/pods]
    [pods name=”staff_member” slug=”john-smith”]{@first_name} is great![/pods]

    But all return nothing but the ‘is great!’ text

    What am I missing?

    Thanks!

    Hello @seank123

    I assume the staff_member Pod is a custom post type?
    Could you try {@title} and let me know if that displays anything?

    Cheers, Jory

    Thanks

    Yes, that’s right, staff_member is the custom post type.

    [pods name=”staff_member” slug=”john-smith”]{{@title}} is great![/pods] gives me:

    ‘Retford is great!’

    Retford is the title of the Location page I am on (Location is another custom post type – so the page is: mydomain.co.uk/location/retford)

    Are you using this shortcode within a Pods Template?
    If so, you’ll need to create a separate template file:

    https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/

    Note: When using this shortcode within Pods templates you cannot use it as a nested shortcode since the magic tags will be parsed before parsing the shortcode. You will need to use the template parameter.

    Ended up doing it with php and adding it as a hook!

    Perfect!

    @seank123

    If possible, can you provide more details on the solution that you developed and implemented?

    Your solution may be useful and applicable to others facing a similar issue.

    Thanks.
