Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a custom post "car" and a content template for this post. I have below shortcode to query another custom post according to the post author
function get_dealer_url( $atts) {
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'post_type'=> 'dealer', 'author_name' => $atts['author'] );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) {
setup_postdata($post);
return get_permalink();
}
}
add_shortcode('get_dealer_url', 'get_dealer_url');
I pass the wpv-post-author to query details from another custom post "dealer".
<tr><td class="d-label">車行主頁：</td><td><span class="trimtext"><a href="[get_dealer_url author='[wpv-post-author]']">[get_dealer_url author='[wpv-post-author]']</a></span></td></tr>
Don't know why it always returns the current car post url, instead of the dealer post url.
If I add the global $post in function, most of the car post details lost.
Best regards,
Kelvin
