Hi guys.
So on my posts I have a Multiple Post objects field. In this field, you can select the pages you want the post to show on. This is done.
So now I am trying to write the loop on the page.
Step1: loop through posts, done. Shows all my posts.
Step2 is where I am stuck, how do I then say “whilst going through each post check that this page ID is in the the post’s Post Objects field” if it is, then list this post.
I wrote this, it works by saving variables in a parent loop and using thin in a child loop that checks IDs using an if statement… it is not the cleanest solution, but it does work. If anyone has a better suggestion I am all ears
<?php
$theID = $post->ID;
$posts = get_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'sas_news'
));
if( $posts ): ?>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post ):
setup_postdata( $post );
?>
<?php
$pn = get_the_title();
$pid = get_the_ID();
$purl = get_the_permalink();
$pex = get_the_excerpt();
$pimg = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($pid,'full');
?>
<?php $post_objects = get_field('link_to_sas_member'); ?>
<?php if( $post_objects ): ?>
<?php foreach( $post_objects as $post): // variable must be called $post (IMPORTANT) ?>
<?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php if($theID == get_the_ID($post_object->ID) ){ ?>
<div class="post-item">
<div class="ptit">
<a href="<?php echo $purl; ?>"><h3>
<?php echo $pn; ?>
</h3></a>
</div>
<div class="pex">
<?php echo $pex; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
