Dynamic link data set on GB button in Block Element not populating correctly

Hi Gary,

It should work, I just tested on my end and the URL works fine.
Here're my settings for your reference:

Hi Ying

Thanks for the reply. I’m actually using an ACF link field. Looks like you might be using the Url field which is slightly different. The reason I’m using the link field over url one is the field has a nicer UI and makes it easier to link to internal pages by searching. That way the client doesn’t have to type page links in manually. I’m also adding the dynamic link value to a GB button in a page hero element.

Does the link field work for you if you replicate the setup above?

Thanks

Hum, it does not work when the ACF field is set to link type.

Try this PHP snippet, replace the custom_field_link with your custom field name.

add_filter( 'generateblocks_dynamic_url_output', function( $url, $attributes ) {
    if ( 'post-meta' === $attributes['dynamicLinkType'] && isset( $attributes['linkMetaFieldName'] ) ) {
		
        if ( 'custom_field_link' === $attributes['linkMetaFieldName'] ) {
			
			$custom_field_link = get_field('custom_field_link');
		
			if( $custom_field_link ):
				$link =  esc_url($custom_field_link);
				return $link;
			endif;
        }
		
    }
    return $url;
	
}, 10, 2 );

Hi Ying

Thanks for the filter, it works great and now the link value is returned using the new dynamic data settings!

I guess therefore the issue was how the ACF link field stores its value versus the more basic url field.

Out of interest is there a reference anywhere yet for GB specific filters?

Thanks

I read this: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/link/

Then tried to call the data usingget_field() which is an ACF function.

You can find the filter here: https://github.com/tomusborne/generateblocks/blob/32825373b8f8ef895518018ff9ab306d2b7b7005/includes/class-dynamic-content.php#L843

Hi Ying

Thanks for this info.

Sorry I was meaning is there anywhere all the GB specific filters are referenced like with the GP filters in the docs? Had a look but couldn’t find anything!

If not no worries, would just be useful to have a reference as I think I’ve seen some other GB specific filters mentioned in other posts.

Thanks

Ah I see what you mean, unfortunately, we haven't got that doc yet.
