Ok, I’ve done a bit of testing and I agree that something is not working as expected… until I figured out how to get taxonomy fields. I’ll try and lay this out so that you guys can tell me if I’m doing the right thing!
Steps to reproduce:
- Add a new Field Group: /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=acf
- Add a new field to this group
- Set the Location Rules: Show field group if Taxonomy Term is equal to [taxonomy], Save field group
- Add a new taxonomy term with the custom field: /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=[taxonomy]
- Attempt to retrieve field in theme with
get_field()
I was unable to get the field data properly until realizing that I wasn’t calling the taxonomy field properly.
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/how-to-get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/
So getting the field data looks like this (using @mdetoni’s taxonomy):
$terms = get_terms( 'audiocategorias', array( 'hide_empty'=>false ) );
foreach($terms as $term){
$field = get_field('ab_rolp', $term->taxonomy.'_'.$term->term_id)
echo '<pre>field: '.print_r( $field, true).'</pre>';
}
To get taxonomy fields, the post ID variable must start with taxonomyname_, so in this case audiocategorias, or in the example we pull it directly from the taxonomy term itself: $term->taxonomy.'_'.
Does this help anyone or am I heading in the wrong direction?
Edit: @drift2’s example
$terms = get_terms( 'radioroom', array( 'hide_empty'=>false ) );
foreach($terms as $term){
$field = get_field('style_id', $term->taxonomy.'_'.$term->term_id)
echo '<pre>field: '.print_r( $field, true).'</pre>';
}
Note that in these examples we are using 'hide_empty'=>false in order to force the retrieval of terms. This is required for a term to show up in our list if there aren’t any posts with this term selected.
