    Hi!
    I have a pod call “Cities”.
    One of the field is “Banners for this city” (name: “banners”), a wysiwyg editor

    Let’s say I have two cities: Berlin and Paris.

    Now, i would like to show in the sidebar (widgets) the content of that field,
    so that

    /cities/berlin will show the berlin banners and
    /cities/berlin will show the paris banners
    will have a different content in the sidebar area

    It seems to me that the pod widgets do not help in this case.

    I came out with an idea about doing it in jquery but it’s quite a hack and would like to avoid it.

    The question is: what is the best way to accomplish this? (i’m not scared of php, jquery etc). Tia

    I would recommend that you add, either directly to your theme’s sidebar or in a custom widget plugin a Pods loop, creating the Pods object the same way as in your main loop. In there you can output the banners field.

    If you tell me what content type cities is, I’d be happy to give you more specific advice on how to do this.

    Hi Josh!

    cities is a Custom Post Type (Storage Type: Meta)

    Something like this should work then:

    global $post;
$banner = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'banners.id' );
$img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($banner);

    You can then echo the image’s source with $img[0] using whatever markup you need.
