..of course I can’t use categories or tags.. that would be too easy!!
So something like a a page of posts?
thanks man,
unfortunatelly it doesn’t help me.
1st I’m working with custom fields..
2nd I’d need some shortcode to put in my pages.. a shortcoce where I can define the custom field I need.
Need somethin does this:
In XYZ page show me all posts with XYZ value custom fields
In ABC page show me all posts with ABC value custom fields
..and so on
There is an example in that section that shows a loop based on custom fields, so you could create two custom page templates – 1 for each type that you need.
If you want to tackle this via a shortcode, then you will still need to build a secondary query based on custom fields but, this time, using the Shortcode_API.
sorry but..
loop based on custom fields in the axample uses the custom field value to define a category and than shows all the posts in that category..
that’s pretty closed to my needs..
How can I use it to show posts with that custom filed, and not category?
I mean.. posts are in different categories but have the same custom field value (ex. brand = xyz)
<?php
$querystr = "
SELECT $wpdb->posts.*
FROM $wpdb->posts, $wpdb->postmeta
WHERE $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'tag'
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value = 'email'
AND $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish'
AND $wpdb->posts.post_type = 'post'
AND $wpdb->posts.post_date < NOW()
ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_date DESC
";
$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
?>
[Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button.]
this works well.
the point is that the piece AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value = ’email’ declares the value in the loop.
My page is unique for different values so.. how can I make the postmeta.meta_value a variable?
Can I use the same meta_value of the page?
something like:
$brandvalue = get_post_meta($posts[0]->ID, 'brand', true);
how can I combine the 2 codes?
I’m not expert in php.. sorry
thanks so much
here is my solution:
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value = ‘”.stripslashes($brandvalue).”‘
thanks
