Dynamic Options in GP Question
6 replies · Started by Yael on June 20, 2021
Hello,
I'm getting ready to convert my site from Beaver Builder to Blocks and have a question before diving in.
My portfolio items are built using PODS (custom fields) and Beaver Themer.

I believe with the new dynamic functions in Generate Press, I can built out and assign a template to this CPT using the custom field names:
Is that right?
Thank you, Yael
Hi there,
See the Dynamic Data options here:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/dynamic-data/
The Post Meta is the dynamic text type you would use.
Which is also available under Type in the GP Dynamic Image Block:
Thank you, David.
You're welcome
Let us know how you get on - so good to hear GP being used for these kinds of projects :)
Hi David,
yea, I am totally enjoying converting my site to blocks and exploring the dynamic options.
I do have an additional question though : when I create the block > content template for my portfolio archives, I only see posts, not custom post types. I was hoping to be able to recreate the archives and a single template applied to my custom post type, portfolio.
Now I'm not sure that is possible.
Can you clarify?
Thank you, Yael
Nothing like a shower to clear the cobwebs :)
Apply to all posts, then use the display rule to target only Portfolio.
Glad to hear you found the answer :)
