Conditional page header template tags?
3 replies · Started by Scrat on December 21, 2018
Hello! I was just wondering if it's possible to put some logic in the page headers. I'd like to be able to print a custom field if it exists and fall back to the page title if it doesn't. So like {{custom_field.display_title}} ? {{custom_field.display_title}} : {{page_title}}, if that makes sense.
Hi there,
Currently we don't support conditionals, but it's something on our roadmap.
What you can do is create a shortcode:
add_shortcode( 'hero_title', function() {
$custom = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_your_custom_title', true );
$title = get_the_title();
if ( $custom ) {
return $custom;
}
if ( $title ) {
return get_the_title();
}
} );Then you'd use this in the hero: [hero_title]
Let me know if that helps or not :)
Hey Tom - I was trying to do the same thing as I wanted the Global Page header text in an element to be something other than the page name. Created a custom Field in AFC and used your code..Worked Perfectly..
Thank You
Great to hear! :)
