Problem: I would like to show a custom field in the wp-admin area that allows admins to select from several predefined images.
Solution: It's possible to use HTML in the label input for each radio field option. So you could include an image tag in the label and it would show up in the backend post editor next to the radio button. You don't have a lot of options for managing the styles in wp-admin, though. See img-tag.png for an example of the post field editor.
Problem: I have a View that lists posts. I have two Query Filters applied to the View:
- Taxonomy filter, set by the current post
- Post ID filter, set to include only posts passed in to the View using a shortcode attribute "ids"
However, the current post always appears in the results. I would like to show only other posts in this View.
Solution:
Modify the post ID filter to exclude posts by ID, and pass the current post's ID into the View using the shortcode attribute "ids":
Problem:
How to add the URL field as either a URL or mailto field with validation? Or I'd like to offer either option as a "call to action" for content contributors.
Solution:
I believe the validation needs to be done before data is saved, in that case it will needs to be done using custom javascript / jquery code. Our Types fields and WordPress native custom fields does not allow 2 kinds of validation on the same field.
So I recommend you to please use 2 separate fields for this purpose that is the easier approach.
Problem: When editing a post in wp-admin, I would like to be able to manually select related posts and have those show up in a View on the single post page.
Solution: There is not currently an easy way to associate posts of the same post type in wp-admin. Toolset does not provide the ability to select from other posts in a custom field, so the management of these associations is manual. You can use a custom taxonomy or custom field to create these relationships. A detailed explanation can be found in another ticket here on the forum: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/need-to-create-a-custom-field-that-shows-links-to-related-posts-of-the-same-type/
Problem:
Choose random image from custom field to use in a content template.
Solution:
1. Please add following shortcode in your functions.php file:
// shortcode to count number of repeating field instances and generate random number
add_shortcode( 'generate-rand-num', 'generate_rand_num_func' );
function generate_rand_num_func($atts) {
$tot_instance = sizeof(get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-' . $atts['field'], false )) - 1;
return rand(0, $tot_instance);
}
Problem:
There is a problem when adding new or editing already existing conditional display settings for custom post fields in the Post Field Group edit page with the current Toolset Types version if Toolset Views 2.5.0 is installed and active.
