ParticipantHi,
Somehow I can't figure out how to pass data from Twig to PHP code.
I'm calling a view like this in a FacetWP listing:
[mbv name="display-related-things" vw_postid={{post:id}}]Inside the view, I can display the post ID like this:
Post ID is {{ vw_postid }}.But how do I pass that post ID to PHP code in the view, so I can do a query with it?
This does not work:
{% set foo = {{ vw_postid }} %}July 20, 2022 at 10:03 PM #37085Long Nguyen
ModeratorHi,
You can just use the variable
vw_postidwithout the pair of curly brackets (which means output value){% set foo = vw_postid %} Post ID is {{ foo }}To learn more how to use Twig code, please follow this link https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/templates.html#ides-integration
July 20, 2022 at 10:58 PM #37088ParticipantHi Long,
I guess that works, but somehow the value is not what I expect. Here's an example:
{% set listing_current_post_type = vw_posttype %} Type is {{listing_current_post_type}} {% if (listing_current_post_type == 'activity') %} Match {% else %} Nomatch {% endif %}The output of the view is:
Type is activity Nomatch
I'd expect a match.
I have a similar issue with the post ID (integer) I want to use. Somehow it's not recognized as an integer.

It might be a typo issue on your testing code. The code works as well on my site, screen record https://imgur.com/a/3VxLe0l
July 21, 2022 at 12:51 PM #37100ParticipantHi Long,
Your findings made me do a different test. I forgot the quotes around the variable in the view, but that does not make a difference. I now have this in the FacetWP listing, but it does not work:
[mbv name="display-related-things" vw_posttype="{{post:type}}"]Passing the hardcoded value does work:
[mbv name="display-related-things" vw_posttype="activity"]Somehow the value passed by FacetWP does contain the string "activity", but it fails to match in the if-statement. The hardcoded string works fine. Really weird.
July 21, 2022 at 9:01 PM #37105ParticipantI asked FacetWP as well but they don't know. Do I need to format the received value somehow before I can use it in a view?
July 21, 2022 at 11:11 PM #37111ModeratorHi,
I think when outputting the view content, the variable post type is rendered also. But when assigning to a variable, it is just the string
{{post:type}}and does not match in the if statement. If it is too complicated in this case, please use the hardcoded post type string.July 21, 2022 at 11:23 PM #37114ParticipantHi Long,
I just tried this:
{% set listing_current_post_type = vw_posttype %} Type is {{listing_current_post_type}}, length is {{listing_current_post_type|length}}The output is this:
Type is activity, length is 13It should be 8 characters, but it counts 13. That's the problem.
I can't use the hardcoded string, the values are dynamic.
I can give you access to the site if it's not possible to solve this here.
July 22, 2022 at 11:48 AM #37120ParticipantIt looks like the dynamic tags that are used to pass data to the view are parse after the shortcode is parsed.
[mbv name="display-related-things" vw_postid={{post:id}}]I'm not sure yet. Will look into it and update here.
