sorry i used archive-custom.php just as an example, it was archive-case-study.php. I’ve ended up just creating a custom loop on a custom page template which fullfills my needs until i learn more about archive pages. many thanks for the help
Hi John,
Thanks for response. Apologies if not explained myself clearly, i’m confusing myself,! I think i need to learn more about basic template hierarchy foremost. B
Basically i want to pick the page that loops through the casestudies. Currently that page is a archive-custom.php file and works ok. But i think i might need to create a custom page template that loops through that archive page instead.
Ah ok so i worked out it easy to do with page link but then i havent got the same capabilities of the post object field. Does anyone know how to do it with the post object?
Thanks petercarsater,
This is just what i needed!
The code you have shown is all a bit advanced for me, trying to understand it. I kind of want to be a bit freestyle in what i hide and don’t hide so i bodged your code to echo the page-id to the admin’s body class so i can be really detailed with what pages see what:
if ($post->post_type == "page") : // set 'page' for page postypes
echo 'var $template_name = "page";';
else :
// Just get the template name
echo 'var $template_name = $("#page_template").val();';
endif;
?>
// Add classes to body
window.UpdateACFView = function($template_name) {
if ($template_name == "page") {
$('body').addClass('<?php global $post; echo "pageid-".$post->ID; ?>');
}
Can you let me know if this is the best practice to achieve this? Seems to work though.
