Home › Forums › General Issues › Taxonomy Term Field in Categories
Hi i succesfull added a field to my categorie, however I am unable to show it in my Theme. I used <?php the_field('short_description',$category); ?>
and also just <?php the_field('short_description'); ?>
However it just does not show!
Is $category
formatted like: "{$term->taxonomy}_{$term->term_id}"
? Getting field values from taxonomy fields is a little funky, full docs at: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to-get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/
sorry this did not help me i already saw this and tryed everything with no success, I am a newbie what does {$term->taxonomy}_{$term->term_id} mean???
Those items are fields from a taxonomy. Say you’re wanting to list out the default category
taxonomy, you’d need to do something like:
$terms = get_terms( 'category' );
if ( ! empty( $terms ) && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ){
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo '<li>' . $term->name . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
That will output the name of all the categories you’ve created. If you want to output your custom field as well you’ll add your get_field()
like:
$terms = get_terms( 'category' );
if ( ! empty( $terms ) && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ){
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo '<li>' . $term->name . ' - ' . get_field('short_description', $term->taxonomy . '_' . $term->term_id) . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
For the get_field()
function you’re passing your field name short_description
along with the $term->taxonomy
and $term->term_id
separated by an underscore.
okay thanks that helped a little, first time i could get the custom filed, however it shows a list of all categories i only nedd to see the custom field within the category page, how do i archive this?
yep, its a custom theme and this is the part where i have to add the short_description custom field

</div>
<?php if ($cols == 'col') { ?>

<?php } else { ?>
fw = jQuery('.fullscreen').width();
if (fw > 960){

});
--></script>
<?php } ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php get_theme_piece( 'blogtitle', '', $sidebar, 'nocol' ); ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-8'); ?>
it need to be in these part
<div class="postinner-h1">
<h1><?php echo single_cat_title(); ?> günstig online kaufen!</h1>
</div></div>
Does this work:
<div class="postinner-h1">
<h1><?php echo single_cat_title(); ?> günstig online kaufen!</h1>
<?php
$term = get_queried_object();
if ( $term ):
?>
<p><?php echo get_field( 'short_description', $term->taxonomy . '_' . $term->term_id ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div></div>
