Problem: I have a custom field that was not created in Types. Can I use Toolset to display the value of that field?
Solution: It depends on the custom field type and storage method. If it's a simple field value stored in the postmeta table, then you can use the wpv-post-field shortcode to display the value. Complex fields like checkbox groups and other serialized structures are not supported.
Problem:
Is it possible to make Types select fields repeatable?
Solution:
No, individual select fields don't have that option.
But, since Types 3, you can create repeatable field groups, so you can create such a group and add a select field to it, and then add as many instances of the field (via its group) as needed.
Problem:
Client has a hierarchical taxonomy and only wants to show something on parent term archive pages, not child term archive pages. What test can be included in a wpv-conditional shortcode?
Solution:
You would need to register a custom function that checks whether the current term for the taxonomy archive being viewed has parents or not, which can then be used as the conditional in a wpv-conditional shortcode (after registering the custom function), e.g.
function tssupp_archive_term_is_parent(){
global $wp_query;
$tax = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
return $tax->parent == 0;
}
Problem:
Output a custom field value from one page, on all pages
Solution:
To output custom field belongs to single post and to display it on all posts - you should use Types shortcode to display the custom field with ID attribute.
