Customize post output based on meta field
6 replies · Started by Arthur on November 30, 2020
I am loving the minimalist approach of GP!
I am trying to set a custom thumbnail size and hide the excerpt for posts, depending on a custom meta field (i.e. 'meta-box-dropdown' = 'Tier 1' or 'meta-box-dropdown' = 'Tier 2'). I am trying to do so within functions.php using the code below. This however does not filter the posts successfully.
add_filter( 'generate_blog_image_attributes', function( $atts ) {
if ( get_post_meta($postid, 'meta-box-dropdown', true) ) {
$atts[ 'width' ] = 1900;
$atts[ 'height' ] = 300;
$atts[ 'crop' ] = false;
}
// Return our options
return $atts;
} );
Any suggestions on how to approach?
As a side note, I have three different loops on my front page. I would like the output of each loop to be different from the main loop. I was able to set up different loops but unsure how to manage the thumbnail sizes and fields within each loop.
/* CUSTOM LOOP FOR HERO POSTS - TIER 1*/
$args = array(
'meta_key' => 'meta-box-dropdown',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'meta_value' => 'Tier 1',
);
$tier1_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ( generate_has_default_loop() ) {
if ( have_posts() ) :
while ( $tier1_query->have_posts() ) :
$tier1_query->the_post();
get_template_part( 'content','tier1');
//print get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'meta-box-dropdown', true );
endwhile;
/**
* generate_after_loop hook.
*
* @since 2.3
*/
do_action( 'generate_after_loop', 'index' );
else :
generate_do_template_part( 'none' );
endif;
}Hi there,
1. It's better to define a WordPress-created image size. Try this:
add_filter( 'generate_page_header_default_size', function( $size ) {
if ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'meta-box-dropdown', true) ) {
return 'my-custom-size';
}
return $size;
} );More info here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_page_header_default_size/
2. Using a method similar to the above should work as long as the meta keys/values are different depending on the loop.
Let me know :)
Perfect thank you Tom!
You're welcome :)
How would I make this image size apply to the post only on my homepage (index) page and not the post page?
Sorry never mind, found the option in Customizer.
