Hi,

Can I display "meta-tags" in a blog post using toolset to do the layout ?

I explain and send a picture attached.

- Users submit a form with info like, city /country etc. Each field of the form is assigned to a meta-tag.
- So basically, a post is created automatically with a nice pre-defined layout.

I have noticed that the meta-tags are available in toolset for "taxonomies", but I do not know how to use them to populate a blog post.

Or may be each meta-tag has to be input manually somewhere?

I attach a picture of the meta-tags used.

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

This is definitely possible.

All that is needed is for you to setup the custom Meta in our Types plugin for the post type that you want this to be on.

Then you will create the corresponding frontend form for this as well.

Finally all that is needed is for you to create the custom archive template that will display the Meta of the posts in a blog format and then your custom post template that will be used to display your single post in the fashion you want.

Have a look at these documents below.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I am still trying to undertsand fully how it works.

I attach a picture of a possible custom posts and fields. SOme fields like "country" are a lot.

Do I begin o get it right ?

QUESTIONS;
- is there CSV imports of lists of any kind ?
- Is it possible to duplicate a "type+view tree" (and then change the names etc?)
or does everything has to be made manually for each post type "tree" ?

Also,
Is it possisble to populate taxonomy dynamically ? (for example, country list, exists in all post types, so a possibility to build this list as it grows could be helpful.

Country is inputted from a drop down list from a form.

I hope I am making myself clear.

Thanks for your help

Hello,

"- is there CSV imports of lists of any kind ?"

Not in our our toolset plugin itself however you import a CSV file using the WP All import plugin

-- Is it possible to duplicate a "type+view tree" (and then change the names etc?)"

Yes it is possible and the view will function the same as the original that it was duplicated from. However are you referring to copying and moving to another site ?

Dynamically yes if the country is build using Taxonomies then on the frontend this can be done by the user if there country is missing.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
