So now the shortcode run, you can see my screenshot but...
now how do we cook to see my cpt directors in my taxonomy directors?

Great! It looks like the View is working now, because you can see the Director CPT title just after "View: ". It matches the taxonomy archive - AHN BYEONG KI. You can delete all the extra debug information we added in the View to test the archive slug and custom shortcodes.

To show other information about the Director CPT here, add that information to the View. In the Loop Output editor, insert any custom fields or other shortcodes you want to display. For example:

<wpv-loop>
[wpv-post-link] - a link to the Director CPT
[wpv-post-featured-image] - the Director CPT featured image
[wpv-post-excerpt] - the Director CPT post excerpt
[types field='some-custom-field-slug'][/types] - a custom field in the Director CPT post
</wpv-loop>

Great! Wow! Fantastic! Now all run fantastic!

See me screenshoot.
I had to create a link to refer to the cpt director because with views I can not create beautiful layouts like layouts.
Confirm this is the best system? Otherwise there is a lot of CSS also for responsiveness.

One last curiosity.
Can I do the same for my actors?
or the function and the shortcode that I have inserted in functions.php and in the settings of toolset is unique and can be valid only for one cpt at a time?

Hello! Always me ... I noticed an error but I do not know if it is solvable.

If I click on the taxonomy of a director that I have not yet created as a cpt I see the whole list of directors that I added instead of an empty box. And after all the directors I added as cpt I see the wordpress archive associated with that taxonomy.
Is there a way to show an empty box if a cpt is not associated with the same slug?

There is not a way to include a Layout inside a View, so if you prefer the Layouts design I think linking to the Director CPT is fine. Otherwise, you must work with HTML and CSS to make the View look just like the Layout.

Can I do the same for my actors?
Sure, the same technique will work for Actors CPT and Actors Taxonomy Term. The shortcode we created to get a term ID by slug will work for any CPT or Taxonomy, as long as the taxonomy term slug matches the post slug. You must update the post type slug and taxonomy slug here:

[get_id_by_slug_and_type slug='actor-post-slug' type='actor-type-slug']

Is there a way to show an empty box if a cpt is not associated with the same slug?
Yes, update the code in functions.php:

function get_id_by_slug_and_type_func($atts) {
  $page_slug = $atts['slug'];
  $post_type = $atts['type'];
  $page = get_page_by_path($page_slug, OBJECT, $post_type);
  if ($page) {
    return $page->ID;
  } else {
    return 0;
  }
}
add_shortcode('get_id_by_slug_and_type', 'get_id_by_slug_and_type_func');

Then you can modify the "No items found" message in the View.

WOW!
Fantastic and great!

I solved everything! and I'm really happy, even my client can be satisfied.
You have been an angel and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks thanks thanks.
Fast, professional and clear step by step.
If I build a good project it will also be thanks to you and the whole toolset team.

I can close this ticket but I'm afraid of losing you!

[Christian Cox]

I'll be here when you have another ticket 🙂 Good luck with this project.
