  • I was able to partially answer my own question. This is slick btw. Well done!

    My other question is if we are parsing through blocks for a specific block to display elsewhere on a page how do we prevent the block from ALSO appearing within the content?

  • Hey Matthew!
    Thanks for this. This looks like a possible answer to something I’m trying to do. Your function looks like it loops through blocks and if a given block exists then you can display content from it. I have an acf block ‘hero-block’ that I want to place outside of and before the content area. How would I place a specific block where I want it to go using this method?

  • When I enter that code into functions.php (btw, awesome clean way to do that. Always just did a var_dump, so thanks!)

  • Hey Elliot,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. This is just a function I’m running that pulls a field from the image/attachment meta. So it would be the page.php template, I suppose. This is a genesis child theme, too, if that helps.

    In the function I didn’t declare the global $post variable originally, but I did just now and it didn’t seem to change anything. I tried getting the field using the_field() method and also as a variable and neither seemed to work.

    Here’s teh function in full, don’t mind the ugly code. =)

    add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'ds_add_featured_image', 1 );
function ds_add_featured_image() {
	global $post;
	$variable = get_field('featured_image_link');
	?>

	<div class="featured-image">
		<a href="<?php get_field( $variable ); ?>" title=""><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
		<span class="caption"><?php  get_post( get_post_thumbnail_id() )->post_excerpt;?> </span>
	</div>

<?php }

  • Sorry about that; I think even I was confused on what I wanted to do…

    The code below gave me what I wanted; I’m always open to tips on optimizing it further.

    <?php if(get_field('choose_layout') == "1col")
{ ?>
   	<p><?php the_field('single_column'); ?></p>
<?php } elseif (get_field('choose_layout') == "2col")
{ ?>
	<p><?php the_field('two_columns_left'); ?></p>
	<p><?php the_field('two_columns_right'); ?></p>
<?php } elseif (get_field('choose_layout') == "3col")
{ ?>
	<p><?php the_field('three_columns_left'); ?></p>
	<p><?php the_field('three_columns_middle'); ?></p>
	<p><?php the_field('three_columns_right'); ?></p>
<?php } ?>

  • I’d like to tack a +1 to Foyle’s suggestion for adding images or additional context to certain types of fields.

    I’m looking to implement a means for clients to create multiple columns within their content and I want to do that with ACF and I can. But Id like to make it a really intuitive experience where they can get an idea what each layout choice looks like, similar to how StudioPress does it: http://cl.ly/image/1Z2t0f0N1f1k
