Multiple reference in template

Ok, here’s how I achieved it… but it’s not elegant at all 🙁

<ul id="stocksymbols">

[pods name="taxonomy_name_cities"]

[if include_in_tax_query_custom_field]

 	<li>{@name}</li>

[/if]

[/pods]

[pods name="post_type_name_location"]

[if single_in_city_custom_field]

 	<li>{@name}</li>

[/if]

[/pods]
</ul>

Then I used JS I found online to reorder the items Alphabetically, since they are all in the same UL.

<script>

function sortList(ul) {
  var ul = document.getElementById(ul);

  Array.from(ul.getElementsByTagName("LI"))
    .sort((a, b) => a.textContent.localeCompare(b.textContent))
    .forEach(li => ul.appendChild(li));
}

sortList("stocksymbols");

</script>

So basically…

1. I am querying the taxonomy terms and posts separately then merging them and reordering them via JS.
2. To exclude one taxonomy I am using a Y/N custom field on taxonomies. This is also not elegant since I have to set all the terms I want to include to Y and the term I want to exclude to N.
3. To include only the posts inside the excluded taxonomy I am using another Y/N custom field.

I certainly hope there is a better solution to this…

So what I’m looking to achieve is Exclusion Rules (for the taxonomies) and Inclusion Rules based on taxonomy for posts…

I can live with sorting the <.li.> elements via JS.

Thank you and I hope you have some ideas.

Hey, Jory! Thanks for your reply.

Can you link me to any documentation that might be helpful for PHP pods template?

I’ve been browsing the pods.io website but mostly 404s or pages that have no content…

Hey, Scott. Thanks! 🙂 You guys are doing a great job! I hope I will be able to help at some point with the documentation but I’m still learning Pods myself.

Thanks for the update and for your work, Scott!
