Problem: I have a View that lists results in alphabetical order. I would like to show posts with one specific taxonomy term first, in alphabetical order, followed by posts without the specific taxonomy term, in alphabetical order.
Solution: Here's how I would set this up with a custom field:
- Create a "radio" type custom field and give it two options: 0 (not special) and 1 (special). Make 0 the default value. Add this custom field to the person post type.
- Edit each person post and set the radio field to the appropriate value.
- Edit the View of people and modify the Order By configuration. If you cannot see the "Ordering" configurations, scroll to the top right corner of the screen and click "Screen Options". You can activate the "Ordering" panel here. Then select the radio custom field for the primary sort, and select the person title for the secondary sort. See the attached screenshot.
Problem: I have a custom post type "Training Module" that occurs on multiple dates. I would like to show all the upcoming dates for the Training Module and hide all the past dates.
Solution: Create a new custom post type called "ModuleOnDate" or something similar. Set this post type to be a child of the Training Module post type. Create a View of ModuleOnDate posts, filtered by post relationship, where the parent is set by the current page. Add a custom field date filter, where the custom field value is an UNSIGNED value greater than or equal to TODAY. Insert the custom field date into the Loop Output using the Fields and Views button.
Insert the View of ModuleOnDate posts into the Training Module post's Content Template or Template Layout.
Problem:
Client wants to use the Bootstrap grid output format for a View but with more control over the number of columns.
Solution:
The Bootstrap grid requires content to be placed in rows which creates limitations on the number of columns that can be displayed (for different screen sizes).
A better solution is to not use the Bootstrap grid at all and to use a simple flexbox CSS solution instead.
