[Resolved] Need help with custom field in taxonomies

Hi there,

I've setup a taxonomy for a CPT called products

I've added custom fields to this and can display basic text fields fine, and also display the full url for the image that I've setup as a custom field.

I'm using divi and would like to use the custom field image as the background for a div, but can't seem to get this to work.

I can display just the url in the body content like this:

[wpv-taxonomy-field name='wpcf-category-image']

I've displayed non taxonomy images fine in divi using the following code:

{!{types field='product-image' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='full' separator=', '}!}{!{/types}!}

I've tried variations on the above and looked through your support archive but I just can't get it to work.

Would it be possible to provide some code that I can drop into the divi image field to get the taxonomy image custom field to display please?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil

Hi Neil,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

For clarity could you send me a screenshot of where you are adding this shortcode?

Thanks,

Hi Shane,

I'm trying to put it into the image field or background image field in Divi.

Thanks,

Hi Niel,

Thank you for the clarity,

Unfortunately no the shortcodes won't work here as this option by divi builder was not designed to accept URL's from a shortcode.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Custom fields do work in the image field as I have it working on other pages for example using this code:

{!{types field='product-image' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='full' separator=', '}!}{!{/types}!}

I just can't get the image field from the taxonomy custom field to work?

I'm guessing it needs to be encoded as above but using different content?

Thanks,

Neil

Hi Neil,

You will need to confirm this with the Divi support if this actually should work or is possible.

From my point of view it shouldn't work in all cases since the field is more than likely expecting url rather than a shortcode.

But the field you have our shortcode in that works, is this an image option just like the one in the screenshot? If so could I get a screenshot of the working one settings ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane

Yep the image works with a standard link provided by the toolset shortcodes.

The issue is that the taxonomy shortcodes don't appear in that list so I can't get the correct code to display it.

Screenshot attached of the image that works.

Thanks,

Neil

Hi Niel,

So actually what you really need is the taxonomy version to getting the custom field?

Please confirm.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane

Yep that's exactly what I'm after.

Thanks,

Neil

Please. 🙂

Hi Neil,

So an example of getting the term meta would be this.

[types termmeta='category-address'][/types]

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Unfortunately that doesn't work.

As discussed above I can get the image URL to show fine using the following:

[wpv-taxonomy-field name='wpcf-category-image']

This doesn't work when I add it to the divi image field.

What I need is an encoded version like below but using the category terminology;

{!{types field='product-image' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='full' separator=', '}!}{!{/types}!}

Is that possible?

Thanks,

Neil

Hi Neil,

Can you regularly get the taxonomy field url with this without putting it into the url field?
[types termmeta='product-image'][/types]

If so then this should work

{!{types termmeta='product-image' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='full' separator=', '}!}{!{/types}!}

Thanks,
Shane
