Automatically Update Loop With New Content
-
Hi. I have been trying to figure out a solution for awhile now, and can’t seem to come up with anything.
What I have is a slideshow running on the front end that I would like to insert or remove content from automatically. It uses an ACF repeater field in a custom post type called ‘readerboard’.
The reason for this is there is a readerboard that is constantly looking at this page and displaying the content. There are actually two readerboards and the way it’s set up is ‘www.website.com/readerboard/town1’ and ‘www.website.com/readerboard/town2’. The only thing on these pages is a Nivo Slider set up as:
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <div id="slider" class="nivoSlider"> <?php // check if the repeater field has rows of data if( have_rows('readerboard_slides') ): // loop through the rows of data while ( have_rows('readerboard_slides') ) : the_row(); $image = get_sub_field('readerboard_slide_image'); // display a sub field value echo '<img src="' . $image['url'] . '" />'; endwhile; else : // no rows found endif; ?> </div> <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
Basically I’m trying to figure out how to get the loop to automatically refresh when the page is updated, or at a specific time each day. Or be told I’m drunk, go home. ??
