Topic Tag: Content Templates

Problem:
I am seeing JS errors when using Types since it's been updated, in specific browsers only.
The errors are like "Uncaught ReferenceError: Unable to process binding "spinnerActive: function(){return isAnySectionUpdating }"

Solution:
This can be due to cached versions of JS files that where not flushed by the Toolset Plugins updates.
Helpful it is to clear the browser cache in such situations.

Problem: I would like to display a JavaScript widget on the single post page for my custom post type. Each post will have a unique script tag, so I would like to store that in a custom field. I have created a post template with Elementor for this custom post type, and I would like to inject the script from the custom field into the single post template.

Solution: You can use a custom shortcode to generate the script tag, then place that custom shortcode in your Elementor template.

function ts_show_widget( $atts ) {
  global $post;
  $field_slug = 'unique-string'; // replace this with the slug of your custom field
  $atts = shortcode_atts([
    'postid' => isset($post->ID) ? $post->ID : 0
  ], $atts);
  $field = types_render_field($field_slug, array( 'item'=>$atts['postid'], 'output'=>'raw'));
  $script = "<script>console.log('Unique string: " . $field . "');</script>"; // update your script here
  return $script;
}
add_shortcode( 'ts-show-widget', 'ts_show_widget' );
