PRO: Use Custom Post Fields for putting together a API-URL

A WordPress-Page can have some Custom Post Fields (CPF). By that one WP-page can be almost identical to another, the only differencewould be a CPF.

Example:

  1. The JSON-API https://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/meetup/1.json
    should be put together with CPF. So on one page 1.json is used, on another 2.json etc.. Triggered by CPF.
  2. Define “keyaa” and “keybb” as Customfields and set values “meetup” and “1.json” (e. g. ACF-Plugin)
  3. Set up a JCI-Template:
  • name: cpf-url
  • twig-template:
    wp_get_page_properties: get page ID
    wp_get_custom_field_value: use page ID and keyaa / keybb to get values of CPF
{% set pageprop = wp_get_page_properties(debug, pageid) %}	
{% set pageid = jcipageparam.post.ID %}
pageid: {{pageid}}<br>
{% set valkeyaa = wp_get_custom_field_value(pageid, 'keyaa') %}
CPF-keyaa: {{valkeyaa | json_encode }}<br>
{% set valkeybb = wp_get_custom_field_value(pageid, 'keybb') %}
CPF-keybb: {{valkeybb | json_encode }}<br>
{% set url = "https://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/"~valkeyaa.0~"/"~valkeybb.0~"" %}
url: {{url}}<br>
{% for item in _context %}
{{item.id}} {{item.name}} {{item.localized_name}}
{% endfor %}
  • URL: as 1st try use “dummyrequest”
    But the magic comes here – calc the URL:
{% set pageprop = wp_get_page_properties() %}
{% set pageid = pageprop.get_post.ID %}
{% set valkeyaa = wp_get_custom_field_value(pageid, 'keyaa') %}
{% set valkeybb = wp_get_custom_field_value(pageid, 'keybb') %}
{% set url = "https://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/"~valkeyaa.0~"/"~valkeybb.0~"" %}
{{url}}
  • Shortcode for that template:
[jsoncontentimporterpro nameoftemplate="cpf-url"]

This should show you

url: https://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/meetup/1.json
