Problem: I would like to create a multi-select custom field.
Solution: Types does not currently offer a multi-select field type. Checkboxes can be used to capture multiple values in a custom field. Views offers a multi-select filter for custom search views.
I have a Repeating Custom Field and want to output it as a list (each of its items should be a list item) or I want to add an Icon on the front of each.
How can I do that?
Solution
To create a list or other HTML structures with Repeating Fields we suggest using the Separator and the Loop intelligently to combine HTML and opening/closing tags in the Field's separator.
The logic is this:
- get the final HTML you want
- make sure you open the HTML before the actual field renders
- as separator use firstly the closing tags, then, reopen the tags for the next item
- make sure the Loop closes with a Closing set of tags.
Note that you need to add NOT encoded characters (hence, natural HTML) to the GUI’s separator input field, it will then automatically convert to encoded characters when you insert the ShortCode!
The same logical approach can be taken with other HTML or even FontAwesome Items.
Note that this is limited, do not expect to have too much control over the resulting HTML.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user is getting an error 500 when trying to save his user fields.
Solution:
Normally when we get error 500 we usually encourage our customers to enable the wordpress debugging, this way we can get an understanding of the error at hand.
Problem:
The issue here was that the user wanted to have his checkbox values clickable and when you click on those values it takes you to a page that lists all the posts with the same option selected.
Solution:
Unfortunately this is not possible and I would recommend the use of taxonomies as taxonomies are able to do this well.
I was wondering if I could sync the data entered into these into MailChimp so that I could use these fields with a MailChimp campaign. Then if a email receipent updated their preferences in MailChimp to edit their phone for example, could I then have this information auto sync'd back to the WordPress CPT that it came from.
Solution:
There isn't such a built-in feature within Types plugin or other Toolset plugins, but you can search it in google plugin Directory, for example:
Problem:
I have several Term and Post Field groups.
They all appear in a certain order on posts or term edit screens.
Usually, one field group metabox under the other.
Is there a way to alter the order by those Field Groups are displayed?
Solution:
No, but we have a feature request in place to allow that, at least with an API Filter.
We can add your vote to the request if you let us know.
