Dynamic X Theme Content

Support
#1

Hey,

So one thing I’ve never done before is setting up dynamic content on my X Themed Wordpress sites using MySQL and PHP or JS.

Before I do it, I was wondering if you guys had any tips or articles that could help me get off to a good start.

Here’s my use-case:

I have a page located at backyardwaco.com/concerts. It’s basically just rows of 3 column tiles that displays information about concerts.

Updating that content can be a pain, because sometimes dates change or a concert will get added in between a bunch of existing dates and etc. A lot of time-consuming dragging and dropping happens whenever I have to update this page sometimes.

But, if I had a foreach loop (sorted by concert date) that went through a “Concerts Table” in my WordPress database, I could simply add the necessary data to my database and the page would be updated.

Do you guys have any best practices or ways you guys do that at X Theme I could copy or anything like that?

There’s no rush on this little project. I’m contacting you guys because I’d like to do it right the first time rather than put some crappy duct tape and wire solution together.

Thanks, and stay safe!

Hello @gregorylmartin,

Thanks for writing in!

Please be advised that we have a Dynamic Content feature in the theme. You may need to check our documentation first. Please read this article here: https://theme.co/docs/work-with-dynamic-content

Meanwhile, what you have in mind requires custom development which is way beyond the scope of our support. You may need a 3rd party developer to do that for you. To get started with development while using X theme, please review this documentation regarding the Best Practices: https://theme.co/docs/best-practices

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice!

I figured this might be beyond the scope of support. I was just curious if this was commonly asked about.

Thanks for the links!

Hi @gregorylmartin,

Yes, that customizations are beyond the scope of our support, and no this is not commonly asked since our users can utilize the Modern Events Calendar extension which is a bundled plugin.
