The best of the above solution is that if i have the same name field in other post types i can check them as featured and there can only be one – allways.
And the query to put the featured post in the top off all posts:
<?php
$args = [
'post_type' => ['post', 'evento'],
'meta_key' => 'post_em_destaque',
'orderby' => 'meta_value post_date',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'paged' => $paged
];
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
And tho show and style the post as you wish inside the loop:
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php if ( get_field( 'post_em_destaque' ) ): ?>
// The contetn of the featured post here
<?php else: ?>
// The rest of the posts
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Hope this can be useful for someone in time.
The above solution was not working.
I think i found a better way of achieving what i was looking for:
function update_featured_post() {
global $posts;
global $post;
// Get other post marked as featured
$posts = get_posts([
// Array of posts to check
'post_type' => ['post', 'evento'],
'meta_key' => 'post_em_destaque',
'meta_value' => true,
'post__not_in' => [$post->ID]
]);
// Remove previous featured posts
if ( get_field( 'post_em_destaque' ) ) {
foreach( $posts as $p ) {
update_field('post_em_destaque', '0', $p->ID);
}
} return;
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'update_featured_post', 20);
This did the job with a true or false field, please tell me if the code is very poor or if the solution is valid.
function update_featured_post( $post_id ) {
// Get current id of post being edited
$currentID = get_the_ID();
// Get all posts except current post
$posts = get_posts([
'post_type' => 'post',
'post__not_in' => [$currentID],
]);
// Get ACF true or false value
$value = get_field('post_em_destaque');
// Find if other post is marked as featured
if( $value = true ) {
foreach( $posts as $p ) {
// Uncheck field if checked
update_field('post_em_destaque', false, $p->ID);
}
}
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'update_featured_post', 20);
Thank you for your patient, hope someone find this code useful.
