Display content depending on the url parameter
7 replies · Started by Stefan on December 30, 2022
Hey,
I have a question that is not part of the Generatepress core ... but maybe you have a solution.
I would like to display different content on a page, depending on the url parameter.
Example
test.com/site/?example-1
Content: XYZ
test.com/site/?example-2
Content: ABC
In the best case it would still be ACF Fields that are displayed.
Do you have any ideas how this could be implemented?
I have tried a few examples and found them on the search / Google, but nothing that has brought me completely further.
Thank you very much for your help!
If it is too far away from the "GP-Support" - feel free to delete the post ;-)
Hi there,
does this doc on ACF help?
https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/acf-field-value-from-query-string/
The basics here is its using: $_GET['product_type'] to get the product_type query param from the URL which it then uses to return the relevant field.
Hey David,
thanks a lot for your help!
I have now built a version that works:
add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_quiz_filter' );
function my_quiz_filter( $content ) {
if ( isset($_REQUEST['quiz-2']) && is_single() && 'quiz' == get_post_type() )
{
$content = '<p>' . get_field('quiz_losungs-story') . '</p>' . $content;
}
if ( isset($_REQUEST['quiz-3']) && is_single() && 'quiz' == get_post_type() )
{
$content = '<p>' . get_field('quiz-story-longread') . '</p>' . $content;
}
return $content;
}
But maybe you can help me with one last thing.
In this case the dynamic content is placed in "$content".
Is it possible to you use one of the GP hooks like "generate_after_main_content"?
For sure, instead of using the the_content filter hook. You can use an action hook eg.
add_action( 'generate_after_main_content', 'my_quiz_filter' );
Okay, thanks ... something I do wrong ... or think wrong - in the variant it does not work unfortunately.
Do you have an idea?
add_action ( 'generate_after_main_content', 'my_quiz_action' );
function my_quiz_action( $content ) {
if ( isset($_REQUEST['quiz-2']) && is_single() && 'quiz' == get_post_type() )
{
$generate_after_main_content = '<p>' . get_field('quiz_losungs-story') . '</p>' . $generate_after_main_content;
}
if ( isset($_REQUEST['quiz-3']) && is_single() && 'quiz' == get_post_type() )
{
$generate_after_main_content = '<p>' . get_field('quiz-story-longread') . '</p>' . $generate_after_main_content;
}
return $generate_after_main_content;
}Just print the content to the hook eg.
add_action ( 'generate_after_main_content', 'my_quiz_action' );
function my_quiz_action() {
$field_value = '';
if ( !is_single() && 'quiz' != get_post_type() )) {
return; // quit out if condition is not met
}
if ( isset($_REQUEST['quiz-2']) ) {
$field_value = get_field('quiz_losungs-story');
}
if ( isset($_REQUEST['quiz-3']) ) {
$field_value = get_field('quiz-story-longread');
}
printf('<p>%1$s</p>', $field_value );
}Wow! This is fantastic! It works! Thank you very much. I'll send the new year drink directly to you!
You're welcome :)
