Replace existing post meta display

Hi Kelvin,

Have you tried using Block element - post meta template?
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-post-meta-template/

And here's another video that shows how to add custom filed dynamic data to the block element - page hero.
But it would be the same for block element - post meta template.

Let me know if this helps :)

Dear Ying,

Thanks for your reply. I tried but had no luck, is there any wrong setting I made?

Here is the setting I made from the Elements https://prnt.sc/1jax94f

I did add a Block Elements and select the Type as Post Meta Template, Location is default After post title and replaces default primary post meta, these elements only be applied on specific category, course/4645/ is the specific category

Please advise what I did wrong.

Best regards,

Kelvin.

Can you share the contents of the block element - post meta template you're using?

If you're trying to replace the rendered element of post dates in a block element, we can do filters on it.

Example:

add_filter( 'generate_dynamic_element_text', function( $post_date, $block ){
$category = 'your category here'
	if ( in_category($category) && is_singular && 'post-date' === $block['attrs']['gpDynamicTextType']  && empty($block['attrs']['gpDynamicDateType']) ) {
		$post_date = sprintf(
			'<span class="course-code-wrap>Course code: <span class="course-code">%1$s</span></span>',
				get_field('course_code', get_the_ID())
		);	
	} 
	
	return $post_date;
},15,2);

You may have to replace get_field('course_code', get_the_ID()) with whatever function Toolset custom field uses to fetch the field value.

You'll also have to change the value of $category = ''; to the category you want this applied on.
