Hi again,

We’re unable to understand what you mean by this:

with this code i want in a list the term with the post.

Can you please clarify? An example will probably be helpful.

hi,

i’m very, very sorry for my explications. it’s difficult to describe my idea.
i restart again with other explications.

i use carbon fields association, and in front office i have got a array like this :

array (size=6)
  0 =>
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '20' (length=2)
      'type' => string 'term' (length=4)
      'taxonomy' => string 'catalogue' (length=9)
  1 =>
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '17' (length=2)
      'type' => string 'term' (length=4)
      'taxonomy' => string 'catalogue' (length=9)
  2 =>
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '524' (length=3)
      'type' => string 'post' (length=4)
      'post_type' => string 'solutions' (length=9)
  3 =>
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '522' (length=3)
      'type' => string 'post' (length=4)
      'post_type' => string 'solutions' (length=9)
  4 =>
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '510' (length=3)
      'type' => string 'post' (length=4)
      'post_type' => string 'solutions' (length=9)
  5 =>
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '21' (length=2)
      'type' => string 'term' (length=4)
      'taxonomy' => string 'catalogue' (length=9)

with this datas i want a list, with the term (id: 20,17,21) and the selected post (id: 510, 522, 524) corresponding to terms :

<h2>term name</h2>
<ul>
<li>selected post by administrator</li>
<li>selected post by administrator</li>
<li>selected post by administrator</li>
</ul>

i put again the code with an other organisation :

//variables for carbon fields association
			$id = get_the_ID();
			$name = 'crb_association';

			//array of carbon fields association
			$arraySols = carbon_get_post_meta($id, $name, 'association');
			var_dump($arraySols);

			//check arraySols with a foreach : i take a term ID...
			foreach ($arraySols as $arraySol) {

				if( $arraySol['type'] == 'term' ){
					$idTerm = $arraySol['id'];

					$terms = get_terms( 'catalogue', array(
						'order'      => 'DESC',
			    		'hide_empty' => 0,
			    		'include'    => $idTerm
						)
					);

					foreach ($terms as $term) {

						//Images of my custom category
						$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( carbon_get_term_meta( $term->term_id, 'crb_thumb' ), array( 381, 286 ) );

						echo '<div class="global-solutions">';
							echo '<img src="' . $image[0] . '" alt="solutions" />';

						 		echo '<div class="desc-solutions">';

								    // Define the query
							    	$args = array(
							        	'post_type' => 'solutions',
							        	//'post__in'  => $posts,
							        	'catalogue' => $term->slug
							    	);
							    	$querySolutions = new WP_Query( $args );

							    	// output the term name in a heading tag
									echo '<h2>' . $term->name . '</h2>';

							    	echo '<ul>';

										// Start the Loop
							        	while ( $querySolutions->have_posts() ) : $querySolutions->the_post();

											echo '<li class="solutions-listing" >';
										        echo '<a href="'. get_permalink() .'">';
										        	echo the_title();
										        echo '</a>';
									        echo '</li>';

							        	endwhile;

						        	echo '</ul>';

						       		// use reset postdata to restore orginal query
						   			wp_reset_postdata();

						 		echo '</div>';

						echo '</div>';
					}
				}
			}

it’s difficult to me to describe my idea, i hope you find a solution…

thanks so lot

hi,

yes i find. in the beginning of my code i put an other foreach for check the ID of the post like this :

//check arraySols with a foreach : i take a ID of post
  foreach ($arraySols as $arraySol) {
	if( $arraySol['type'] == 'post' ){
   $idPosts[] = $arraySol['id'];
  }
}

and i use this array of post ID in a wp query :

// Define the query
$args = array(
  	'post_type' => 'solutions',
   	'post__in'  => $idPosts,
   	'catalogue' => $term->slug
	);
$querySolutions = new WP_Query( $args );

finally my code is like this :

//variables for carbon fields association
$id = get_the_ID();
$name = 'crb_association';

//array of carbon fields association
$arraySols = carbon_get_post_meta($id, $name, 'association');

//check arraySols with a foreach : i take a ID of post
foreach ($arraySols as $arraySol) {
	if( $arraySol['type'] == 'post' ){
		$idPosts[] = $arraySol['id'];
	}
}

//check arraySols with a foreach : i take a term ID...
foreach ($arraySols as $arraySol) {

	if( $arraySol['type'] == 'term' ){
		$idTerm = $arraySol['id'];

	//object of terms catalogue
	$terms = get_terms( $taxo, array(
		'order'      => 'DESC',
    		'hide_empty' => 0,
    		'include'    => $idTerm
		)
	);

		foreach ($terms as $term) {

		//Images of my custom category
		$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( carbon_get_term_meta( $term->term_id, 'crb_thumb' ), array( 381, 286 ) );

		echo '<div class="global-solutions">';
		echo '<img src="' . $image[0] . '" alt="solutions" />';

 		echo '<div class="desc-solutions">';						

		// Define the query
		$args = array(
		   	'post_type' => 'solutions',
		   	'post__in'  => $idPosts,
		   	'catalogue' => $term->slug
				);
		$querySolutions = new WP_Query( $args );

	// output the term name in a heading tag
	echo'<h2><a href="' . get_term_link($term->slug, $taxo) . '">' . $term->name . '</a></h2>';
echo '<span class="border-bottom"></span>';

   	echo '<ul>';

	// Start the Loop
       	while ( $querySolutions->have_posts() ) : $querySolutions->the_post();

										echo '<li class="solutions-listing" >';
										    echo '<a href="'. get_permalink() .'">';
										       	echo the_title();
										    echo '</a>';
									    echo '</li>';

       endwhile;

      echo '</ul>';

      	// use reset postdata to restore orginal query
       wp_reset_postdata();

	echo '</div>';
	echo '</div>';
		}
	}
}
}

i think that my code is so complicated but it’s work…if you have an other solutions with less code, i take it ??

thanks so lo

Hi @dewy,

We believe you’ll need to organize your fields in a little different way to make it easier to display in the front end. Here is how we envision it:

1. Create a complex field with a Select field in it. That select field would allow you to select a term.
2. In the complex field, there should be an association field that would allow you to select posts. These will be the posts that will appear under each term.

Then, when displaying that complex field in the front end, you will easily display each term and its corresponding posts.
