types_render_termmeta on a Post Page with a given taxonomy

Resolved

(@pcmdv)

Hi Guys,
I would like to return a custom Term Field for a given taxonomy when on a Post Single page.

eg. “Card A” Single page displaying all my custom post fields about that card. Card is in a taxonomy “Collection” > “Collection A”

Each Collection has custom Term fields (blurb, image, link) which I would like to display on my Single post page at the bottom.

if (have_posts()) { $count = 0;
		while (have_posts()) { the_post(); $count++;

echo types_render_field("card-number", array("show_name"=>"false","output"=>"html","id"=>"$card-number"));
echo '<h1>'. get_the_title() .'</h1>';
echo types_render_field("card-image", array("show_name"=>"false","output"=>"html","id"=>"$card-image","size"=>"large"));
echo ''. the_content() .'';

echo types_render_field("card-source", array("show_name"=>"false","output"=>"html","id"=>"$card-source","size"=>"large"));

echo wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_term_list(get_the_ID(), 'source-archive', '', ' / ') );
echo types_render_termmeta("archive-blurb", array("term_id"=>"get_the_ID()","show_name"=>"false","output"=>"html","id"=>"$archive-blurb" ));
echo types_render_termmeta("archive-logo", array("term_id"=>"get_the_ID()","show_name"=>"false","output"=>"html","id"=>"$archive-logo","size"=>"large" ));
echo types_render_termmeta("archive-link", array("show_name"=>"false","output"=>"raw","id"=>"$archive-link"));

		}
	}

types_render_termmeta don’t display anything and I think it’s because it needs to know that ID of the taxonomy that the post is marked in.

I hope that makes sense. Any ideas what I should change?

Thanks

Custom Fields for Taxonomies can only be used on Taxonomy Archives and Taxonomy Views

However you can use the Types API and force the Term ID:
https://wp-types.com/documentation/user-guides/displaying-wordpress-term-fields/

Example:
echo types_render_termmeta("cat-featured-image", array( "term_id" => "5", "alt" => "Category Featured Image", "width" => "300", "height" => "200" ) );

cat-featured-image in above example is the Term Field slug and 5 the Term ID.

Ah thanks, thats great and has sorted my problem.

I had to go into PHPmyAdmin to find the term id in wp_termmeta. I couldn’t seem to find the term id from within the dashboard like you can for posts etc when you hover over them.

Thanks!

You can find the ID when you click on edit (for the term) in the URL.

I will mark this thread as resolved.

Thank you

Just to follow up – I initially thought it was more fixed then it was.

I ended up with this to dynamically get the term id based on which taxonomy the post was assigned to:
```
// get the id of the post
$the_id = get_the_ID();

// get the custom taxonomy term name
$source_archive_name = wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_term_list( $the_id, 'source-archive', '', ' / ' ) );

// read all the data for the term into an array
$term_data = get_term_by( 'name', $source_archive_name, 'source-archive', ARRAY_A );

// pull the term id out of the array
$the_term_id = $term_data["term_id"];

echo wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_term_list(get_the_ID(), 'source-archive', '', ' / ') );
echo types_render_termmeta("archive-blurb", array("term_id" => $the_term_id,"show_name"=>"false","output"=>"normal","id"=>"$archive-blurb"));
echo types_render_termmeta("archive-logo", array("term_id" => $the_term_id,"show_name"=>"false","output"=>"html","id"=>"$archive-logo","size"=>"large" ));
```
