Hi,

I would like display my view in my header.php.
But my custom fields do not appear but my post_title appear.
My code :
<?php $filtered_posts = get_view_query_results( 110 );
foreach ( $filtered_posts as $filtered_post ) {
echo $filtered_post->post_title;
$mydate = types_render_field('date-de-l-evenement');
if ( empty($mydate) ) {
echo 'Empty';
}
else {
echo $mydate;
}

echo '<br/>';
}
?>
Thank you

Regards,

If you are adding this code to a PHP template such as single.php or page.php then the types_render_field function doesn't have the right context to know the post from which it should be outputting the field values.

You use a foreach loop to iterate over the results of the View (which is an array of post objects), but the types_render_field will use the global $post object as its context, not your foreach loop.

You need to explicitly tell Types which post the fields belong to which you want to output, something like this:

types_render_field( "my-singlelinetext", array( ) )
$mydate = types_render_field( 'date-de-l-evenement', array( 'id' => '$filtered_post->ID' ) );

Ok it's works thanks.
And how can i get the last element without putting the id manually?
I have 3 news and i want the last news which has been inserted.

Thanks.

Is this the only thing you use the View for?

You could update the settings for the View so that it is ordered by post date DESC with a limit of 1, so that it only returns the most recently published post.

Then there will only be a single post object returned by get_view_query_results

Thanks for trick.
Have you got a lexicon for all field i could call, like url or excerpt?

[briceJ]

for $filtered_post->post_title like title.

These are the standard post fields available on the post object: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/$post
