    Dear Admin and fellow users!

    I'm after guidance on the best way to achieve the following.

    Setup:

    As a custom field on a posts page I have 'posts' selected. I then within that post can choose other posts of relevance that I want to display as internal links in that blog post

    (setting all this up is ok)

    Question:

    What is the best way to then display the selected posts on that posts page??

    1) If I setup a repeater group field and use the metabox skin, how can I set it up to pull the following from the selected posts using elementor.

    Post Title
    Post Link
    Post Featured Image
    Post Excerpt

    2) Or would I be better trying to setup a filter and use a posts display widget with the custom filter query. (Please note it should only display the selected posts on that page, and not across the site using that custom field)

    Hello Simon,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    If you use the single field post, not a subfield in a group field, you can use the Text widget to output the field value the frontend with a simple format/style.

    If you use the group field, you can create the skin to display subfield values in a template. I think point 1 would be better.

    Regarding the Group Skin, I see you do not select the Group Skin to use the skin on the template, see this screenshot https://imgur.com/zRHIUQH
    can you please recheck this?

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

    I'm happy with how to use the skin and choose one.

    My questions is how do I pull the post link for the button of a skin, the featured image and the excerpt?

    Hello Simon,

    You can simply add a Text or Heading widget and select data from Meta Box field post to display the title and link to the post. However, it doesn't support getting other post data like featured image, excerpt ...

    Hey Peter, thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. Is it possible to use it for a search query in in a filter? And for it to just return the query for posts from that specific custom field for that post onlyand not the whole website?

    I hope you can understand what I’m trying to achieve here. Being able to pull the post from that custom field. I can use a different widget that displays posts using a search query/filter then I’ll be able to get all that data that I need and display it with the featured image.

    Thank you again for all your help is really appreciated if I can leave feedback or review somewhere to help you guys please let me know. All the best, Simon.

    Hello,

    I understand that you want to filter posts by the post custom field. Basically, it is possible. You can use a third-party that is compatible with Meta Box like FacetWP to create a filter posts by a field value.
