Meta Box

Follow up: I've done a few additional tests.

The normal way to display a setting in a view works fine in English but not in German (no value is displayed):

{% set group = attribute( site, 'site-configuration' ) %}
{{ group.site_settings_texts_more_itineraries }}

I can see that the text value of the 'site_settings_texts_more_itineraries' field is stored in the database table wp_options, in the record with option_name = 'site-configuration'. So, I tried to get the value through the WordPress get_option function (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_option/):

{% set atext = mb.get_option('site_settings_texts_more_itineraries') %}
{{atext}}

Even for English, this does return a value. I would expect a standard function to access this data to work.

So far, I could only fine one work around: using WPML, I can duplicate the view for German, give it a slug with the "-de" suffix, and then use a hardcoded string instead of the setting value.

Do you have any suggestions, or would you like to take a look into a copy of the website?

Thanks!

It looks like it worked. Thanks!

Much appreciated, thank you. Will try it out later.

I can't find a way to solve this in Twig. The merge filter does not seem to work for this scenario. It looks like there are/were Twig "add" and "push" filters too, but they're not recognized in the view code.

For others with this issue: I created a PHP function to compose the tax query. As arguments, it takes the relation (AND/OR), an array of taxonomy slugs, and an array containing an array of terms.

function get_tax_query($relation, $taxonomy_slugs = array(), $term_ids = array()) {
	$tax_query = array();
	
	if (count($taxonomy_slugs) > 1) {
		$tax_query['relation'] = $relation;
	}

    foreach ($taxonomy_slugs as $key => $taxonomy_slug) {
		array_push($tax_query, array('taxonomy' => $taxonomy_slug, 'terms' => $term_ids[$key] ));
	}
	
	return $tax_query;
}

So far this seems to work well.

If you know a way to do this directly in Twig, please share.

Hi Long,

Thank you. Yes, your first example works. This is what I have and it works fine:

{% set args = {
post_type: 'promotion',
numberposts: 3,
orderby: 'meta_value_num',
meta_key: 'content_popularity',
order: 'DESC',
meta_query: [{
	key: 'promotion_start_date',
	value: 'now'|date("Y-m-d H:i"),
	compare: '<=',
},
{
	key: 'promotion_end_date',
	value: 'now'|date("Y-m-d H:i"),
	compare: '>=',
}],
tax_query: { 
	"relation": "OR", 
	0: { 
		taxonomy: "travel-tickets",
		terms: "336" 
	},
	1: { 
		taxonomy: "activities",
		terms: "324" 
	}
}

However, whatever I try, creating the tax_query dynamically with "merge" fails (no results). And I don't understand the "do" example in your second link, to be honest.

Hi Long,

Sure:

I can't show everything on a public forum, but this should be sufficient I think.

The problem is that it does not show the field values.

Hi Long,

Ok, I understand. I found that ACF supports this for WPML. So, I think it's important for Meta Box to make sure that full compatibility is available soon. Personally I don't think it's new feature, but rather something that's missing despite the claimed compatibility with WPML.

Hopefully you'll be able to make this happen soon. Thanks a lot!
