Yeah, that exact filename is also needed , but that was correct. Perhaps I did not build properly at the time. However, in the end I decided to go full ReactJS/ Blocks and leave out ACF for this block. And that works now. Thanks for the feedback though @tjhole-support !

Did you ever solve this? How do you load the ACF meta field for your Gutenberg plugin?

I am having a similar issue and wrote about it at https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/acf-6-block-json-data-in-template-fails-to-load/ . Did you ever work this out?

Needed get_the_excerpt and not output it with the_excerpt Was helped out at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-excerpt-loaded-before-all-other-content/#new-topic-0

Only using

<php?
function imwz_rand_posts() { 
 
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'molecule',
    'orderby'   => 'rand',
    'posts_per_page' => 1, 
    );
 
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$string = ''; 
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {

$string .= '<div>';
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        $the_query->the_post();
        $string .= '<h3><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">'. get_the_title() .'</a></h3>';
				$string .= '<p>' . the_excerpt() . '</p>';
    }
    $string .= '</div>';
    /* Restore original Post Data */
    wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
 
$string .= 'no posts found';
}
 
return $string; 
} 

// [imwz-random-posts] shortcode
add_shortcode('imwz-random-posts','imwz_rand_posts');
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

the paragraph part loads above all other data/blocks and not below the title inside the same shortcode block. Any ideas why?

Might just need to use a shortcode to be added to a block

<?php
function imwz_rand_posts() { 
 
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'molecule',
    'orderby'   => 'rand',
    'posts_per_page' => 1, 
    );
 
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
 
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
 
$string .= '<ul>';
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        $the_query->the_post();
        $string .= '<li><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">'. get_the_title() .'</a></li>';
    }
    $string .= '</ul>';
    /* Restore original Post Data */
    wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
 
$string .= 'no posts found';
}
 
return $string;

add_shortcode('imwz-random-posts','imwz_rand_posts');

As I stated I now have an option to pick a molecule of the day. But I want one at random to load. In ACF we have a motd block with Field Type post object. This seems to create a setup where you can choose an item from the existing ones for the post object or search for one.

How can we load a post at random using an ACF Block from the editor with a Gutenberg Block?

current code:

<?php
// ACF updated to work with new block
$motd = get_field('motd');
var_dump($motd); // NULL
$molecule_month = get_the_terms($motd->ID , 'molecules_of_the_month' ); 
var_dump($molecule_month); // warning trying to read property ID on NULL

?>

<div id="<?php echo esc_attr($id); ?>" class="<?php echo esc_attr($className); ?>">

<?php
// $molecule_month = get_the_terms($motd->ID , 'molecules_of_the_month' );
// $month = array_pop($molecule_month);
// $molecule_link = get_term_link( $month->term_id, 'molecules_of_the_month' );

// Set the post type here, and sort them randomly
// molecule of the month presented as random molecule of the day.
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'molecule',
    'posts_per_page'=> 1, 
		'post_category' => 'molecule_of_the_month',
    'order_by' => 'rand',
);
// Initiate a custom query
	
$cpt_query = new WP_Query($args);
	
// If the query has any post, start the loop
if($cpt_query->have_posts()){
    while($cpt_query->have_posts()){
        // Output a link and a thumbnail of the post
        $cpt_query->the_post(); ?>
        <div class="random-post">
					<div class="motd-img">
						<a href="<?php echo $molecule_link ?>">
								<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( 'full');?>"/>
						</a>
					</div>
					<div class="motd-content">
						<h2 class="is-style-highlight">Molecule of the day</h2>
						<h3 class="motd-name">
							<a href="<?php // echo $molecule_link ?>">
							<?php // echo esc_html( $title ); ?><?php // if($month){ ?> - <?php //echo $month->name; } ?>
							</a>
						</h3>
						<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
					</div>
        </div>
				<?php
    }
} ?>

Needed to add another location for ACF Block. Loads now. Just still need to select post from selectbox. Need to have one loaded at random instead. Will check some more.

• rhand

• in reply to: Post Object at random

Seems the variable motd does not load anything so second check fails as well.

<?php
// new acf block field to be added
$motd = get_field('motd');
var_dump($motd); // NULL
$molecule_month = get_the_terms($motd->ID , 'molecules_of_the_month' ); 
var_dump($molecule_month); // warning trying to read property ID on NULL

so results show

NULL
Warning: Attempt to read property “ID” on null in /Users/jasper/code/site/wp-content/themes/theme/blocks/random-molecule/block.php on line 24
bool(false)

And that gets me back to issue with ACF block. I have the base on just loading a molecule on selection and a new one

<?php
acf_register_block_type( array(
  'name'			=> 'molecule-of-the-day',
  'title'			=> __( 'Molecule of the day', 'theme' ),
  'render_template'	=> 'blocks/molecule-of-the-day/block.php',
  'category'		=> 'theme',
  'icon'			=> 'image-filter',
  'mode'			=> 'auto',
  'keywords'		=> array( 'molecule' )
  ));
  acf_register_block_type( array(
  'name'			=> 'random-molecule',
  'title'			=> __( 'Random Molecule', 'theme' ),
  'render_template'	=> 'blocks/random-molecule/block.php',
  'category'		=> 'theme',
  'icon'			=> 'image-filter',
  'mode'			=> 'auto',
  'keywords'		=> array( 'molecule' )
  ));

In the first block $motd = get_field('motd'); works just fine. In my new one under construction it does not. Why is that? Am I doing something now I should not or that is not possible? Just do not understand this.

Had to use

<?php 
$args = array( 'hide_empty=0', 
        'taxonomy'      => 'molecules_of_the_month',
        'childless'     => 1, 
        'number'        => 6,
        'orderby'       => 'ID', 
        'order'         => 'ASC'
        ); 
$the_query = new WP_Term_Query($args);
foreach($the_query->get_terms() as $term) :
// foreach( $molecules_of_the_month as $month ) : ?>
    <!-- Post Content goes here -->
    <li class="post-grid-post splide__slide">
        <?php
        $summaryimage  = get_field('summary_preview_image', 'term_' .$term->term_id  ); // field, id and format value

to make it work. Well, that seems to make most of what I want do. Need to limit description, tweak html to work on mobile. But will work well soon.

Seems that I need to use WP_Query to loads arguments

$args = array( 'hide_empty=0', 
                'childless'     => 1, 
                'number'        => 6,
                'orderby'       => 'ID', 
                'order'         => 'ASC'
                ); 

if I want to use these in get_terms. See https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_term_query/get_terms/#user-contributed-notes

example:

<ul>
<?php 
$args = array(
    'taxonomy'               => 'category',
    'orderby'                => 'name',
    'order'                  => 'ASC',
    'hide_empty'             => false,
);
$the_query = new WP_Term_Query($args);
foreach($the_query->get_terms() as $term){ 
?>
    <li><?php echo $term->name." (".$term->count.")"; ?></li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>

Will look into that.

Wait, echo wp_get_attachment_image( $summaryimage, $size ); does seem to try to load images now like:

<img width="1191" height="1684" src="https://site.test/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-MOTM-Aug.png" class="attachment-full size-full" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://site.test/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-MOTM-Aug.png 1191w, https://site.test/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-MOTM-Aug-212x300.png 212w, https://site.test/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-MOTM-Aug-724x1024.png 724w, https://site.test/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-MOTM-Aug-768x1086.png 768w, https://site.test/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-MOTM-Aug-1086x1536.png 1086w" sizes="(max-width: 1191px) 100vw, 1191px">

so I am making progress and thanks to you @jarvis . Thanks a lot so far.

Now I just need to add proper html, include $args, load part of text or excerpt and then I will be done.

Okay, using this code

<div id="<?php echo esc_attr($id); ?>" class="<?php echo esc_attr($className); ?>">
  <div class="slider mobile-slider splide" data-splide='{ "type" : "loop", "perPage": "3", "arrows": 0, "breakpoints": { "99999": { "destroy": 1 }, "767": { "perPage": "1" } } }'>
    <div class="splide__track">
        <ul class="post-grid splide__list">
            <?php 
            if( $molecules_of_the_month = get_terms( array( 'taxonomy' => 'molecules_of_the_month', $args ) ) ) :
                foreach( $molecules_of_the_month as $month ) : 
                    $summaryimage  = get_field('summary_preview_image', 'term_' .$month->term_id  ); // field, id and format value
                    // $summaryimage = get_field('summary_preview_image', 'term_name_', 'molecules_of_the_month'); // NULL++
                    $size = 'full'; // (thumbnail, medium, large, full or custom size)
                    // var_dump($summaryimage);
                    echo '<a href="' . esc_url( get_term_link( $month ) ) . '" alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all post filed under %s', 'drughunter' ), $month->name) ) . '">' 
                    . $month->name . '</a>';
                endforeach;
            endif; ?>
        </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I have the summaryimage loading ids but not in use yet as I need image url. This so I can load the image, title and short description and link it all.

I also can still load term links using this loop and an echo so that is fine. But need to work out loading image first.

Furthermore I need to include the $args I had before. Not sure how with current setup. Doing some trials still.

@jarvis I used your code with foreach loops:

<div id="<?php echo esc_attr($id); ?>" class="<?php echo esc_attr($className); ?>">
        <div class="slider mobile-slider splide" data-splide='{ "type" : "loop", "perPage": "3", "arrows": 0, "breakpoints": { "99999": { "destroy": 1 }, "767": { "perPage": "1" } } }'>
            <div class="splide__track">
                <ul class="post-grid splide__list">
                    <?php 
                    if( $molecules_of_the_month = get_terms( array( 'taxonomy' => 'molecules_of_the_month' ) ) ) :
                        foreach( $molecules_of_the_month as $month ) : 
                            $summaryimage  = get_field('summary_preview_image', 'term_' .$month->term_id  );
                            $size = 'full'; // (thumbnail, medium, large, full or custom size)
                            print_r($summaryimage);
                            // $molecules_of_the_month .= '<a href="' . esc_url( get_term_link( $month ) ) . '" alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all post filed under %s', 'theme' ), 
                            // $month->name ) ) . '">' . $month->name . '</a><figure class="post-featured-image">' . 
                            // wp_get_attachment_image( $summaryimage, $size ) . '</figure>';
                        endforeach;
                    endif; ?>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

and I know get 328235043514 or this using var_dump

NULL int(3282) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) int(3504) int(3514) bool(false) NULL bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false)

so I am getting something now. So I guess I needed to load the image in the foreach loop. But I also see you used:

<?php $summaryimage = get_field('summary_preview_image', 'term_' .$month->term_id );?>

with term_ .$month->term_id which I am clearly not familiar enough with. Besides understanding this better I also need to load the image url so guess I do not want ID numbers only. How would I do that?

NB had to post this 3 times to make it stick on the forum

Thanks for the feedback @jarvis . When I Use this updated code:

$terms = get_terms( 'molecules_of_the_month', $args );
if ( ! empty( $terms )   ) :
    $termid = get_queried_object()->term_id;
    var_dump($termid);
    $summaryimage = get_field('summary_preview_image', 'tax_name_'.$termid);
    // print_r($summaryimage);
    $size = 'full'; // (thumbnail, medium, large, full or custom size)
    $count = count( $terms );
    $i = 0;
    $term_list = '<p class="molecule-of-the-month">';
    ?>

does however not work … yet either. The var_dump shows me string(0) “”. So besides me not specifying the taxonomy (month here though acf group with field preview_image is attached to term month and year) something else is still needed I think.

Good to hear that. Yes, I did not have any issues so far today. Opened a ticket, added an update and no 504s.

Did try

$terms = get_terms( 'molecules_of_the_month', $args );
if ( ! empty( $terms )   ) :
    $termid = get_queried_object()->term_id;
    print_r($termid);
    $summaryimage = get_field('summary_preview_image', $termid);
    // print_r($summaryimage);
    $size = 'full'; // (thumbnail, medium, large, full or custom size)
    $count = count( $terms );

but also do not get the term id . Perhaps I need to do another query on top, not sure yet…

I think I cannot call $motd cause it is an ACF block with a post object and another ACF block at that. An existing one where you can select a post. I am working on loading a random one… Might need to create another ACF Block Field Group.

@hube2 I got somewhat further:

<?php

$motd = get_field('motd');

?>

<div id="<?php echo esc_attr($id); ?>" class="<?php echo esc_attr($className); ?>">

<?php
$molecule_month = get_the_terms($motd->ID , 'molecules_of_the_month' );
$month = array_pop($molecule_month);
$molecule_link = get_term_link( $month->term_id, 'molecules_of_the_month' );

// Set the post type here, and sort them randomly
// molecule of the month presented as random molecule of the day.
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'molecule',
    'posts_per_page'=> 1, 
		'post_category' => 'molecule_of_the_month',
    'order_by' => 'rand',
);
// Initiate a custom query
	
$cpt_query = new WP_Query($args);
	
// If the query has any post, start the loop
if($cpt_query->have_posts()){
    while($cpt_query->have_posts()){
        // Output a link and a thumbnail of the post
        $cpt_query->the_post(); ?>
        <div class="random-post">
					<div class="motd-img">
						<a href="<?php echo $molecule_link ?>">
								<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $motd->ID, 'full');?>"/>
						</a>
					</div>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
        </div><?php
    }
} ?>

</div>

But got this error

: Uncaught TypeError: array_pop(): Argument #1 ($array) must be of type array, bool given in /Users/jasper/code/site/wp-content/themes/theme/blocks/random-molecule/block.php:30

Why would ID be null? It refers to $month = array_pop($molecule_month); and the field has been set before that line. And we do have molecules of the day(based on month) and molecules of the month.

I guess I can better use a repeater field as well then. One to basically load post slides using array_rand() I do not need a radio select box like in the example.

I would need to use a loop and load a post at random. A basic repeater field example in the ACF Repeater Field tutorial shows how to load a sub field value from a random row of a Repeater field:

<?php
$rows = get_field('repeater_field_name' );
if( $rows ) {
    $index = array_rand( $rows );
    $rand_row = $rows[ $index ];
    $rand_row_title = $rand_row['title'];
    // Do something...
}

This loop is close to what I need, but I would need to “just” load a random post from a taxonomy from the last 3-4 months.

Perhaps I just need an ACF block, in it do a new WP_Query to load custom post type at random from a date range. Will need to think about this more.

I see I made it all too hard.

the_field('date_and_time', get_the_id())

works just fine. This as it is inside a new query $query = new WP_Query( $args );

Events is taxonomy 'post_type' => 'events' but when I add

$term = get_queried_object()->term_id;
print_r($term);

to code here inside the while loop nothing is printed. The new query does already load the events custom post type, but now with fields added I want to load them too.

<?php 

// Variables
$number_of_events = get_field( 'number_of_events' );
// print_r($number_of_events);
$event_categories = get_field('event_categories');
$event_cat_ids = wp_list_pluck( $event_categories, 'term_id' );

$args = array(
		'post_type' 		=> 'event',
		'post_status'		=> 'publish',
		'posts_per_page'	=> $number_of_events,
		'order'				=> 'DESC',
);
			
$args['tax_query'] = array(
	'relation' 		=> 'OR', 

	array(
		'taxonomy'	=> 'event_category',
		'field'		=> 'term_id',
		'terms'		=> $event_cat_ids
	),			
		
);

$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $query->have_posts() ) : ?> 
	<div class="event-grid">
		<?php while( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post();
		$term = get_queried_object()->term_id;
		print_r($term);
		// $date_and_time = get_field('date_and_time', $term);
		// print_r($date_and_time);
		// $date_number = get_field('date_number');
		// $date_number = get_field('date_and_time');
		// $event_title = get_field('event_title');
		// $event_location = get_field('event_location');
		// $event_description = get_field('event_description'); 
		?>
			<div class="block-box event-box">
				<div class="event-number-container">
					<p class="event-number">date<?php //echo $date_number; ?>

				</div>
				<div class="event-details">
					<p class="event-date-time"><?php // echo $date_and_time; ?>

					<h4 class="event-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
					<p class="event-location">event location<?php // echo $event_location; ?>

				</div>
			</div>
		<?php endwhile;  wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
?>

So I used $term = $query->get_queried_object()->term_id; and did get id 146. so making progress here.

Getting the date_and_time field for posts queried do not load yet though.. we also use more categories for the events cpt of course..

$term = $query->get_queried_object()->term_id;
// print_r($term);
$date_and_time = get_field('date_and_time', $term);
print_r($date_and_time);

I guess I may need to focus on the custom post type and not the term here?
