MB View - Gridbuilder Card

Hi David,

You can try to set the view Type to Shortcode then add the shortcode to the Gridbuilder card to display view content. Screenshot https://monosnap.com/file/UZPOaDZOYrAeCoIYPXT2lSX5sRG6rh

I got an answer from GridBuilder support that I'd need to add the post ID to the shortcode.
They gave me an example for ACF : [acf field="field_name" post_id= "{{ post.id }}"]

So I suppose it would be for MB : [mbv name="wpgb-card-meta" post_id= "{{ post.id }}"]

But it's still not working.

Hi.
Not sure what you mean, but if you could give me a code to test i will definitely do it.

This is the MB View code I use in the Template part :

<div>
{% for item in post.mg_projet_type %}
	{{ item.name }}
{% endfor %} de {{ post.mg_projet_surface }}m2, à {{ post.mg_projet_localisation }}</div>

This is the shortcode the way I use it (once in a WPGB custom block with code written above, and once in a native raw content block (HTML) from WPGB :
[mbv name="wpgb-card-meta" post_id="{{ post.id }}"]

Hi. Thanks for your answer.

I am not sure what you mean by : "1. View code: just print out the post ID"

Post ID: {{ post_id }}

? What do I do with this piece of code ? Do I replace all my View code and leave only this ? If so, it prints "Post ID : 1234", but I do not want to see it on the frontend. And it does not make the data from the custom fields appear on the card, I still only get the inter-text.

Hi Peter, thank you for looking into this.

Sorry but doing it this way breaks the site display. If I place the code you gave me in the View (and replace the "custom_field_id" by my custom field ID), it messes up the grid on the frontend, something is wrong with the code, or I don't have enough information as to what has to go where exactly.

I will try to be precise in what I have now :
- View Template = {{ mb.rwmb_meta( 'mg_projet_localisation', '', post_id }}
nothing else than that is written in the View Template. Should it be wrapped into something such as a <div> ?. The shortcode for this view is [mbv name="wpgb-card-meta"]

- Custom code loaded with snippet plugin (WpCodeBox) that creates a custom block using the View shortcode :

<?php
function register_custom_field_email_block($blocks)
{
    // "custom_field_email_block" corresponds to the block slug.
    $blocks["custom_field_email_block"] = [
        "name" => "MG - Infos Projet",
        "render_callback" => "render_custom_field_email_block",
    ];

    return $blocks;
}
add_filter("wp_grid_builder/blocks", "register_custom_field_email_block");

function render_custom_field_email_block() {
	// Object can be a post, term or user.
	$object = wpgb_get_object();

	// If this is not a post (you may change this condition for user or term).
	if ( ! isset( $object->post_type ) ) {
		return;
	}
	// You have to change "custom_field_name" by yours.
	echo do_shortcode('[mbv name="wpgb-card-meta" post_id='. $object->ID .']'); //pass the ID from object above
}

- Second option to show the content of the View template : in WP GridBuilder I use a normal content block and set it to "custom content" and paste the shortcode in the raw HTML field : [mbv name="wpgb-card-meta"]

Both options give me the same result (according to the steps since I opened this thread) : either nothing (only the simple text, not the custom fields), either only the post ID, either it breaks the layout. It never has outputted any data from the custom fields.

Hi,

Please find links to screen captures.

At the moment I am using the MB View shortcode in a block in WP GridBuilder and get the same results whether I use :
- [mbv name="wpgb-card-meta" post_id="{{ post.id }}"]
- [mbv name="wpgb-card-meta"]
It shows the same values on every post (instead of each card having it's own values).

Hope you can help me understand how to fetch the values of each post.
