THE BACKGROUND
1. Custom Post Type = “contestants”
2. Custom Taxonomy for contestants = “year_type”
3. Contestants can be in only one of many different year_types.
4. Each contestant has a repeater field for sponsor logo and sponsor URL.
THE PROBLEM
For the homepage, I need to get all the sponsor logos from all the posts that are in one of 3 year_type categories. I can’t seem to get this part to work.
CURRENT SINGLE CODE
This is the code on the single-contestant.php template that shows the sponsor logos for each contestant.
<div class="sponsors">
<?php
// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('sponsors') ):
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('sponsors') ) : the_row();
// display a sub field value
$image = get_sub_field('sponsor_logo');
$url = get_sub_field('sponsor_url');
$name = get_sub_field('sponsor_name');
?>
<div class="sponsor"><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>" target="_blank" title="<?php echo $name; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" /></a></div>
<?php endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif;
?>
</div>
I figured this out. In case anyone else wants to know…
<div class="sponsors">
<?php
global $post;
$the_query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'contestants',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'year_type',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( 'term_1', 'term_2', 'term_3' )
)
))
) ;
if($the_query->have_posts()){
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
if( have_rows('sponsors', $post->ID) ):
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('sponsors') ) : the_row();
// display a sub field value
$image = get_sub_field('sponsor_logo');
$url = get_sub_field('sponsor_url');
$name = get_sub_field('sponsor_name');
?>
<div class="sponsor"><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>" target="_blank" title="<?php echo $name; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" /></a></div>
<?php endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif;
}
}
?>
</div>
