My site allows random users to submit content, which is stored in the wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables. We’re not creating WordPress accounts for these readers, so we store the name they give us as pen_name in the postmeta table. On a post page we’re retrieving the pen_name from the postmeta table and linking it to the authors page (a cloud template). This cloud template uses the Flex Block 1 module to display posts.
While looking at this block I see that there are options under Filter > Category Filter, we’re using the Author - Current Author option. I’m looking through the theme code and I see that option comes from here:
/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_util.php (lines 2155 - 2187
and is implemented here:
/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_block.php (lines 191-208)
What I’d like to find out is if there’s a way for me to inject a new option into that list, one that I would write myself. I’ve already written two new blocks, so I’m a little familiar with your API. I just don’t know if this is possible.
Hello!
This can be done, but unfortunately it is not covered by the support team. But yes, this can be done.
Thank you!
Vlad, thanks. I’m happy to do it myself, do you have a link to documentation which might help me work through it on my own?
Hello!
Unfortunately, we do not have a documentation how you can achieve this step by step, but you can take a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/
Hope that helps you somehow!
Thank you!
