Best practice: Complex "Team member" and "Teams" loops?

Posted in: Newspaper

How do you recommend to create complex and many team members? In my case, I only need the loops, not individual team member profile posts. And this is not authors but many people in many teams.

I tried CPT/Custom taxonomies etc, but your Flex Loop does not seem to offer my custom fields, so there is no way to display them in a loop. Your docs seem to say that I should create this via your API, but that seems complex.

I feel that I am missing a simple solution for I would have thought is a simple challenge that many websites need.

What is your recommended route?

Hello @andxtagdiv!

The best choice is to use CPTs. In order to display the custom fields for those CPTs in your flex loop, you need to create a custom module: https://forum.tagdiv.com/edit-modules-flex-block-x/

Thank you!

Thank you Bettina.

Are there any docs for that? The link that you provide only shows “you can do it”. But it does not show specifically how to do it.

My main question is: How do I add my own custom fields to the loop for this?

Hello,

To create a cpt https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-post-type-support/ also, you need to edit the plugin and set your acf https://i.imgur.com/ZprsF8x.png depends what you want to display on the modules.

Thank you!

I know how to add custom fields to WordPress – thank you very much. I don’t know how to grab the output, how to put that into the loop element, and finally how to style all of it.

This is a basic function I have come expect as inbuilt, from Oxygen, Bricks, and now even Elemtor. It is hard for me to believe that you invested in your own builder, and not updated it to accomodate professional requirements.

If I may add, years ago when to transitioned Newspaper from VisualComposer over to TagDivComposer, this was exactly what I raised with you: Will you be able to keep up?

Now it seems, you are not.

Do you have an ETA of a proper implementation?

Hello,

Maybe the information given was not clear enough.
Let’s start with the beginning; we introduced support for ACF and CPT, and we also made some demos, but in order to display the desired information on the modules, a separate plugin was made for each individual demo.
For example, here to display information from ACF or taxonomy https://i.imgur.com/m8W5Nn2.png the implementation was done here https://i.imgur.com/Rw7YuCA.png
So, depends on what you want to display on the modules, you need to edit a plugin or create a new one.
These modules are available in the Newspaper-tf\plugins\td-demo-plugins theme package.

Thank you!

Thank you. I have to leave Newspaper behind. I was hoping for a well integrated solution that I can simply hand over to my client. Turns out, Newspaper and TagDiv Composer only looks good on the surface.

What you describe is not as “builder” but coding. If I wanted that, I’d not choose Newspaper.

I am back with Bricks Builder, that has a better community and better features.

TagDiv never stops disapppointing behind the curve.
