Home › Forums › General Issues › football leadscore
Hi, good evening.
I am currently building a football related website.
I have a profile page for each player, where I put all its data (such as number of appearance, number of goals, etc.) using the Custom Fields.
I have another page of Top Scorring Leadboard, when the data (player name + and number of goals), I pull from each player’s profile.
The problem is that I need to sort from top to bottom by a number of goals on each page where and it’s a bit complicated.
is it possible to do it with this plugin? and if so, than how to?
I’d be happy to get some help.
Thanks
Hi Orimomo
A custom query using the get_posts function is your best option, http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
The custom query could be build using the following
<?php
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'offset' => 0,
'category' => '',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
'include' => '',
'exclude' => '',
'meta_key' => 'player_goals',
'meta_value' => '',
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_mime_type' => '',
'post_parent' => '',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'suppress_filters' => true
);
$posts_array = get_posts( $args );
?>
You could then use a loop to iterate over all of the returned post items and use standard functions to get the data
foreach ( $posts_array as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<?php
$name = get_field('player_name);
$goals = get_field('player_goals);
?>
<?php endforeach;
If you have created a custom post type for players change the post_type from post to whatever you have called your custom post type
thanks for the answer.
but one questions please:
where do i put the first code you show, and where i put the other one?
