Can you show me how to use ACF custom post data within a Pro template? I want to display the 5 most recent News posts inside the News And Events cell. I’ve watched some of your YT vids and looked at a lot of your documentation. It just isn’t making sense to me. I’m a programmer so using your GUI builder is contrary to how I normally work.
Hey @brocknessmonster,
Thanks for reaching out!
In your List items element, you can use Query Builder and set it to Story, upon checking your post type it is for the news.
Then to access the data, you can use these dynamic content
Title: {{dc:acf:post_field field="title"}}
Story: {{dc:acf:post_field field="story"}}
Date: {{dc:acf:post_field field="date"}}
Hope that helps.
That helped. Thanks for the assistance.
Unrelated to my original question …
when i click on your screenshot image nothing happens. i’m looking at my console and it appears there’s an issue with the app.
Hey @brocknessmonster,
The console log error has nothing to do with our app functionality. You can ignore that.
Thank you.
Last question related to this feature - how do I link my result (story) to a page that contains details for that corresponding item?
Edit: made a little progress. The different news stories link to a detail page now but I need to apply a template to that detail page.
Hey @brocknessmonster,
Would you mind sharing more details about the “apply a template to that detail page”? In that way, we can give you proper advise on how you can achieve it.
Thank you.
Hey I literally just figured this out. I added a condition to the assignment.
What I meant … how do I apply the template I use for my site content to the page linked from the looper result? The answer … I need to add some logic to the assignment conditions.
Hey @brocknessmonster,
We’re glad that you’re able to figure it out. If you have any other concerns or clarifications, please don’t hesitate to reach us.
Thank you.
