Counter values from external source

[501creative]

We have a registration service that opens up its values of participation and donation through a piece of JS script. Is there any way to sue that as a value in the counter? The JS is simple a document.write containing the value.

Hi @501creative,

Thanks for reaching out.

It is not very clear how you will get that number. For now, you can add the number or value to the counter through the Dynamic Content tag. So you can create a custom dynamic content tag and fetch the data as you are trying to.

To create a custom dynamic content tag, please go through the following thread.

Looper custom query with last 7 days

@tristup: Thank you. I saw this discussion and similar. Unfortunately, they all discuss to show post after a certain date or before a certain date. That’s why they use “compare” But I need to show posts the last 7 days. I only know "after=‘5 days’ but this works not with a custom field date.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Thanks for the response. They are returning the values to use via a link to an javascript snippet:

https://theirsite.net/racephotos/PTC/Fundraising_Total.js

So can I use something like that for the value?

add_filter( ‘cs_dynamic_content_fundraise’, function( $result, $field, $args) {
// {{dc:stuff:fundraise}}
$result = ‘https://theirsite.net/racephotos/PTC/Fundraising_Total.js’;
return $result;
}, 10, 3 );

Hi @501creative,

It is not very clear what the JS is returning, but you need to include it through the script tag. Using it in the PHP code is not possible.

Thanks
