Hi @zaphod, you are not the only one)
I was struggling an hour until I found this post.
I don’t understand why they did so.
For example, I want to have a folder called “acf-block-json” in my plugin, and have all the block json files within it. I don’t like the template rendering, so I don’t have a file/folder structure for block templates. Instead, I have all the blocks as HTML rendering functions.
Now, with this limitation, I can’t achieve that. But I think the limiation comes fro WP itself.
If I understand you right, you have a related “addon” (one post of type “addon”) on this post through “add_on_suites” field.
If that’s correct, then you just need to check in every iteration which is the needed “addon” by adding a comparison operation like this: $related_addon_id == $addon->ID
Here is the code:
<?php
$addons = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'addons',
'posts_per_page' => -1
));
?>
<?php if( $addons ): $related_addon_id = get_field('add_ons_suites'); ?>
<table class="table table-hover table-sm inclusions">
<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan="2" scope="colgroup" class="text-uppercase">Product Inclusion</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach( $addons as $addon ): ?>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $addon->ID ); ?>">
<i class="fas fa-chevron-right mr-1"></i><?php echo get_the_title( $addon->ID ); ?></a>
</td>
<td>
<?php if( $related_addon_id == $addon->ID ): ?><i class="fas fa-check"></i>
<?php else: ?>
<i class="fas fa-times"></i>
<?php endif; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>
You have a small mistake in the function parameters.
Just replace the comma with a dot.
Should be like this:
$test_desc = get_field( ‘custom_desc’, $term_tax . ‘_’ . $term_id );
or
$test_desc = get_field( ‘custom_desc’, ‘term_’ . $term_id );
Here is the doc:
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-fields-taxonomy-term/
You forgot to set the postdata in foreach loop.
Just add this after the foreach line: setup_postdata($addon);
Here is the doc: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/setup_postdata/
That will set the $addon as the main $post for every iteration in foreach loop.
As an alternative solution, you could also add the needed post_id in ACF’s get_field method like this:
get_field(‘add_ons_suites’, $addon->ID)
That will bring the acf field data for that specific post
