Tell us what you are trying to do? We would like to display a Twitter feed (based on the listing's entered Twitter account) and a contact form (linking to the listing's email address) within a content template.

Is there any documentation that you are following? I have checked your support documentation but can't see any reference to this - sorry if I have missed anything!

Is there a similar example that we can see? The form and feed would be in the right side-bar of a listing like this, appearing under the map. versteckter Link?

What is the link to your site? versteckter Link?

Hi,

The embed code for the Twitter feed/timeline from Twitter's website ( versteckter Link ) looks like this:


<em><u>versteckter Link</u></em>
<script async src="<em><u>versteckter Link</u></em>" charset="utf-8"></script>

Note: In this example code the Twitter account used for the timeline is "androidcentral".

You can make this code dynamic by linking the Twitter account part to a custom field value, so that a different timeline can be shown for each listing.

1. You'll add a new "Twitter Account" single-line type custom field with listing post type (slug "twitter-account"), in which the Twitter account value ( e.g. androidcentral ) can be saved.

2. Next, in your content template for listings, you can include a "Custom HTML" block to add this embed code, with the Toolset Types field shortcode, like this:


<em><u>versteckter Link</u></em>
<script async src="<em><u>versteckter Link</u></em>" charset="utf-8"></script>

As for the contact form, you can register a new custom post type "Contact Requests" to collect contact form submissions and then create a new form to add posts to this post type, using Toolset Forms. Here is a guide on using the Toolset Forms:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
