Hi @rmoses123
The code you shared needs you to add the URLs for each possible combination, which I believe is what you don’t want to do:
$fakepage_ABCD_url = "chat-room"; // URL of the fake page
The easiest way to achieve it is to create a new page template for the comparison and use the URL query string to get the posts being compared. So for example, if you have a page with this URL:
http://example.com/comparasion/?post1=99&post2=123
Then you can get the data for each post like this:
// check if the comparation exists
if( isset($_GET['post1']) && isset($_GET['post2']) ){
// get the post data
$post1 = get_post($_GET['post1']);
$post2 = get_post($_GET['post2']);
// Show the first post data
if( $post1 ):
// override $post
$post = $post1;
setup_postdata( $post );
?>
<div>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<span>Post Object Custom Field: <?php the_field('field_name'); ?></span>
</div>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php endif;
// Show the first post data
if( $post2 ):
// override $post
$post = $post2;
setup_postdata( $post );
?>
<div>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<span>Post Object Custom Field: <?php the_field('field_name'); ?></span>
</div>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php endif; ?>
}
I hope this makes sense 🙂
