How do i get a list of posts from a field this while loop like WP_query does
if ($posts_order == 'custom'):
// post objects from field
$posts_custom = get_field('posts_custom', 23697);
print_r($posts_custom);
// what $args to use here?
// $directors = new WP_Query($args);
$directors = $posts_custom;
else:
//this all works fine.
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'dsv_directors',
'nopaging' => true,
'meta_key' => $posts_order,
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => $posts_order_direction,
);
$directors = new WP_Query($args);
endif;
error ‘Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function have_posts() on array in /Users/jynk/Projects/500_2AM/web/2amweb2014/wp-content/themes/2am-master/templates/content-directors.php:88’
line 88
$i = 0; while ($directors->have_posts()): $i++;
any help appreciated. D.
Hello…
With WP_Query you can use the argument post__in to pass in an array of post IDs…
See here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Post_.26_Page_Parameters
So… with a Post Object ACF filed, you might be returning IDs or Post Objects (default).
If returning Post Objects, you can use this code to get an array of IDs:
$post_objects = get_field('po');
$post_object_ids = array_map(function($o) { return $o->ID; }, $post_objects); // array of IDs to pass to: post__in in a WP_Query
Careful though about passing an empty array to post__in because it will return all results.
