display taxonomy's custom fields outside the loop

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user had a taxonomy view and wanted to display the custom field of that taxonomy outside of the view loop .

Solution:

You should be able to use the fields and views button in the loop editor for your category custom field.

Once you click this button then you can just search for your custom field and add it to the loop editor.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to display taxonomy custom fields right after [wpv-layout-start]. I have created the custom fields for the featured image.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I checked the shortcode list but couldn't find one that works outside the loop. I managed to use [wpv-archive-title] and [wpv-taxonomy-archive info="description"] to get taxonomy title and description.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-view

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi Yuli,

- You can always pass parameters to a View

- For example, [wpv-view name="houses" taxid="1"]
- Such that:
==houses os the name of the view
==taxid is a parameter being passed to houses view
- You can use taxid to filter the results in houses view (In houses view settings especially in the Query filter section)

So, let's say that your main view name is "myview"
You need to create another view and name it for example "texview"
In myview, after [wpv-layout-start] , you can add the texview and pass the taxonomy ID (taxid) as a parameter like this [wpv-view name="taxview" taxid="1"]

In taxview, you can use the taxid parameter to filter the results.
Check this documentation page. it will guide you to use the parameter passed to a view: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/passing-arguments-to-views/

I hope this can help you.

Thanks.

Not sure I understand.

I'm trying to display a custom field for a specific term on the taxonomy archive page.

My custom post type is Course, taxonomy is Course Category and the specific term is Marketing. I want to display the term's featured image (custom field). How should I do that?

Hi Yuli,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

You say that this on a custom archive correct?

Then you should be able to use the fields and views button in the loop editor for your category custom field.

Once you click this button then you can just search for your custom field and add it to the loop editor.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
