Custom Looper Provider Arguments with Dynamic Content

I run into the same issue as this:

Custom Looper Provider won't use the arguments

So I have a weird issue. I have a custom looper provider that works 100% when I hard code the value of my variable. The problem is that as soon as I pass the variable to the code and dynamically assign the value of the arg to the variable then the code does not work. i.e. $term_id= $args[‘cat’]; The strange thing is that if I echo the variable then it echos the correct value. If using your exact code it does not work. echo $args[‘cat’]; (gives me the correct ID) See example, to keep things s…

I have these arguments:

{
    "post_type" : "plaatsen",
    "post_parent" : "{{dc:post:id}}",
    "posts_per_page" : -1
}

When I count the characters in the $args[‘post_parent’] it returns 14 characters exactly the same as the value in params: {{dc:post:id}}. So it’s counting the characters of the dynamic content tag instead of the value that is returned.

I managed to found a solution by searching through the Looper Provider classes in the theme files and found out how you are getting the offset of the looper provider:

$offset = intval( cs_dynamic_content( $element['looper_provider_array_offset'] ) );

So i used the function cs_dynamic_content() to get the dynamic content and

add_filter( 'cs_looper_custom_dynamic', function( $result, $args ) {
    if ( isset( $args["post_parent"] ) ) {
        $args["post_parent"] = intval( cs_dynamic_content( $args["post_parent"] ) );
    }
    return get_posts( $args );
}, 10, 2);
