ParticipantI'm trying to accomplish exactly what this guy is doing here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MlhGtdKBj4
but using metabox instead of ACF.
He is using this snippet
https://www.paulchinmoy.com/display-random-image-acf-gallery-oxygen-builder/I'm sure a view with Twig is probably the right direction, but I'm not sure. Do you have any suggestions?
The other factor is the field is saved in a Settings page, not at the post level, if that matters.July 13, 2021 at 9:56 PM #29478Long Nguyen
ModeratorHi ilan,
Thank you for reaching out.
Meta Box has the same way to create
image_advancedfield and get its value. You can get more details on the documentation
https://docs.metabox.io/fields/image-advanced/
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-settings-page/Paul uses the PHP code to create the snippet so I think you should also use PHP code to understand how it works.
July 14, 2021 at 2:20 AM #29483ParticipantYa it looks like this one is above my head. I'll have to hope someone makes a video tutorial for me one day 🙂
July 19, 2021 at 4:05 PM #29577ParticipantYa I'm totally lost here - can you help me out please? What changes would I make to the snippet to have it work with metabox and pulling images from the settings page fields?
July 19, 2021 at 6:44 PM #29578ParticipantI think I'm getting closer - using MB Views I'm trying to output a random item from the array.
{% set group = attribute( site, 'practice-specific-images' ) %} {% set item = random(group) %} <img src="{{ item.full.url }}" width="100%" height="auto" alt="">unfortunately this is not giving me anything on the front end, viewing the source give me "unknown" for the URL.
Saved as a shortcode for easy use in Oxygen.
I feel like i'm so close here - any suggestions you can offer?July 19, 2021 at 7:14 PM #29580ParticipantFINALLY GOT IT!
For the next person with this problem, i got there in the end using views, just forgot to add the field name to the random function
{% set group = attribute( site, 'practice-specific-images' ) %} {% set item = random(group.gallery) %} <img src="{{ item.full.url }}" width="100%" height="auto" alt="">`
