List of other posts – excluding the current post

    Hi. I’ve tried to find the solution for this with no luck. I apologize if I missed the documentation or another thread for it.

    I have two custom post types: Webcomics and Creators and they have bi-directional fields called Webcomic creator (webcomic_creator in the Project pod) and Webcomic projects (webcomic_projects in the creator pod).

    On a Webcomic post, I’m showing the associated Creator(s) and want to create a list of “Other webcomics by this creator) and have the following template…

    (The Pod Reference is set to “Webcomics”)

    [each webcomic_creator]
Projects by {@post_title}<br>
[each webcomic_creator.webcomic_projects]
<a href="{@permalink,esc_url}">{@post_title}</a><br>
[/each]
[/each]

    This works great. It produces – on a Webcomic post – a list of the all the webcomics by each associated creator – including the post we’re currently on. Is there a way, within pods (or the shortcode which calls this template), to present this list but exclude the current post?

    Basically, I want to have a section called “Other webcomics by this creator” and not include the page the user is already staring at. ??

    Thanks for your help and for an amazing plugin!

    Hi Steve,

    The [if] shortcode can’t be used for logical comparisons, so it has to be done in PHP. Here’s code that can be used in your template for the desired effect:

    <?php
$webcomic = pods( 'webcomic', get_the_ID() );

foreach( $webcomic->field( 'webcomic_creator' ) as $webcomic_creator ) {
	?>
	Projects by <?php echo get_the_title( $webcomic_creator['ID'] ); ?><br/>
	<?php
	$creator = pods( 'creator', $webcomic_creator['ID'] );
	foreach ( $creator->field( 'webcomic_projects' ) as $project ) {
		if ( (int) $project['ID'] === (int) get_the_ID() ) {
			continue;
		}
		?>
		<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_the_permalink( $project['ID'] ) ); ?>">
			<?php echo get_the_title( $project['ID'] ); ?><br/>
		</a>
		<?php
	}
}
