Hey there,

I found the answer (at least when using normal custom fields or, in my case, Advanced Custom Fields).

If you want to include custom fields, you need to modify the plugin file gd-mylist-code.php so that you can add your own ##tagName# for use in the plugins templates.

I’ll try to explain so it’s understandable for someone else seeing this – instructions below on what to do.

——————————————————-
File: gd-mylist/gd-mylist-code.php

In the foreach ($posts as $post) loop, create variables for your custom fields (my example uses a soundcloud and gumroad link):

$postACF_sc =  get_post_meta($postId, 'sc_link', true); // Get soundcloud link
$postACF_gumroad =  get_post_meta($postId, 'gumroad_url', true); // Get Gumroad link

Then, add your own str_replace() functions below the line that says $html = file_get_contents($templates_html['box_list'].$locale);

i.e:

$html = str_replace('##postACF_sc##', $postACF_sc, $html);
$html = str_replace('##postACF_gr##', $postACF_gumroad, $html);

This will let you use ##postACF_sc## and ##postACF_gr## in the plugin’s template files to show your custom fields.

File: gd-mylist/template/box-list.php

I just chose this template file as an example, but you can add your new made tags to the HTML markup here to display them i.e.

<article class="gd-mylist-box audio-item">
	##postBtn##
	<h2>##postTitle##</h2>
	<a href="##postACF_sc##" class="sc-player audio-item--url">##postTitle## on SoundCloud</a>
	<a href="##postACF_gr##" class="audio-item--buy btn btn-green" data-product-url="##postACF_gr##">Buy</a>
	<a href="##postUrl##" class="view-track btn btn-blue">View track</a>
</article>

——————————————————-

That’s what is working for me, although I’m working through a different problem now!

Cheers,

Osu

I love you. Saved me a big headache with this, thank you!

I also need to restrict the lists available to just one – Remi, is that an easy fix? Could you let us know how it’s done please?

Thanks

Hi,

I’m trying to override the ‘read more’ link in my child-theme functions.php. I understand you can’t override the parent themes functions.php as such, but I have placed my own function for the ‘excerpt_more’ filter, but it’s not replacing the parent theme’s function that also uses ‘excerpt_more’.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Osu

function clientname_continue_reading_link() {
	return ' <a href="'. esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '">' . __( 'Read more... <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'clientname' ) . '</a>';
}
function clientname_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
	return ' &hellip;' . clientname_continue_reading_link();
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'clientname_auto_excerpt_more' );
