[Résolu] php of a view with shortcode attribute

Hey,
I have 2 post types: posts and lawyers.
I have a taxonomy of "working areas" which I appended to both post types. I did that, because I want to take the single-post template for posts and in each post display a list of lawyers with the same work area.
I created a view for lawyers, then added a filter for the work area with a shortcode attribute 'areafrompost", something like this:

[wpv-view name="side-lawyers" areafrompost="[wpv-post-taxonomy type='work-area' format='slug']"]

and now i need to place this inside the posts single-post.php template (because the lame theme I'm using won't let me rebuild the content template with toolset - but that's another issue).
how would I do this?
i know how to render a simple view:

<?php echo render_view( array( 'name' => 'side-lawyers' ) );?>

but how to i add the shortcode attribute to be taken from the post current taxonomy?
thx!

Hi Ido,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You will need to do it like this.

<?php

 echo render_view( 
                         array( 'name' => 'side-lawyers',
                                     'areafrompost' => do_shortcode("[wpv-post-taxonomy type='work-area' format='slug']");
                                 ) 
                           );

?>

Please try this and let me know if it helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Ido,

My apologies, it should be like this.

<?php
 
 echo render_view( 
                         array( 'name' => 'side-lawyers',
                                     'areafrompost' => do_shortcode("[wpv-post-taxonomy type='work-area' format='slug']")
                                 ) 
                           );
 
?>

Without the semicolon at the end of the do_shortcode.

This should work now.
Thanks,
Shane

thx!
no errors - but i'm not getting the right result of the same taxonomy.
maybe i'm thinking wrong?

let's try to overview this again:

1. i have "posts" and "lawyers"
2. i have a taxonomy "work-areas" which is attached to both posts and lawyers
3. if a post has, for example, a "work area" of "environment" - I want it to display a list of lawyers under the same "work area" of "environment".

am i missing something?

thx again - as always.

silly me.
i didn't need to use a shortcode attribute at all. instead, i had filtered the taxonomy according to "the same as the page where this View is shown" - and now it's working with the simple

<?php echo render_view( array( 'name' => 'side-lawyers' ) );?>

but i've learned something new 🙂
thx shane!

Hi Ido,

Right this should give you the desired results.

What you can do is to check your view to see if you are getting the right taxonomy terms being passed into the view.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-attribute

Also you can try doing it like this.

<?php
  $terms = do_shortcode("[wpv-post-taxonomy type='work-area' format='slug']");
 echo render_view( 
                         array( 'name' => 'side-lawyers',
                                     'areafrompost' => $terms
                                 ) 
                           );
  
?>

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
