How to display a Custom Field for a Custom Taxonomy?

Hi @bchpdigital

Thank you for your nice words, and for supporting ACF Views!

What you’ve described is a way to display Taxonomy term names with its ACF field (image).
Unfortunately that isn’t yet possible.
You can however use $term$ with term-id=”x” in your View shortcode to display the specific term acf image.

Below is an example

[acf_views name="Teams Taxonomy list" view-id="652f946aaca87" object-id="$term$" term-id="116"]

We hope to have the $taxonomy$ ACF fields feature soon.

Hi. Thanks for the swift response.
I think I see what you are saying. If I’m understanding this correctly, you’re saying that with the Shortcode, I can choose a specific single-term’s image and display that next to the term titles. So I can define a specific term ID to get the image from?

If so, that won’t work for what I’m after. I’m using these shortcodes in templates to grab the fields dynamically and new content is continually added. So static content in the shortcode isn’t an option. Each of my custom post types has its own field group and template. Plus, in this instance, I have multi-select for the terms.

I have had a go with your example and I think I have adjusted the names and ID’s appropriately. I couldn’t get it to display anything with the changes to the shortcode. It didn’t return an error, but it also wouldn’t display anything. It is great to know that there is more that can be done with the shortcode and I will look into the documentation further regarding this.

I’d be open to trying an alternative way outside of taxonomy, if there’s another way to achieve this. I like to have the archive by using taxonomy, but I’d still be interested to learn of other methods that may be able to use a view shortcode to grab custom fields from within another custom post or item.

Otherwise, I eagerly await the availability of &taxonomy& and other functions to come in the future!

I’ve updated to the pro feature to solve a different issue I was having. I have been playing around with the ACF View Cards allowing me to create query loops that Ajax pagination. Really nice usability for the site.

Anyway, I have just noticed an extra option on my ACF Views called… “ACF Views”. Clicking read more states this is a pro feature that lets you refer to fields from related selected views. I think I can use this to make my idea here work! I can create a new ACF View for the “Sports Team Logo”, then relate that to my other taxonomy view. I will have a play, but it sounds like it should work!

Hi @bchpdigital

I’ve read your initial request again, and I think I misunderstood.
I thought you’d want to show a Image field assigned to a taxonomy group.
But you actually want to show Posts by Category? Is that correct?

In this case, you can Create a View, assign the fields you’d want to display, then head over to Add a New Card, assign the View, and use the Taxonomy filter tab to filter by “Categories” or your Custom Taxonomy with Comparison set to “Equal to” and then for Term select “$current$ (archive and category pages)”.
The save, and copy the Card shortcode into your Post Category template.

Hi there, I have been created two custom fields with acf and I want to display them in every post in the front end in two diferrent places (after post title the first and after excerpt the second) with labels explaining each value. Also the same when posts displaying in blog archive posts. I added the code below (only for the first custom field) in the file content.php under the post title section. I am not familiar with coding and I need your help please!

            $custom_field_value = get_field( 'syggrafeas' );
            if ( $custom_field_value ) {
                echo '<div class="custom-field-label">Συγγραφ?α?:</div>';
                echo '<div class="custom-field-value">' . esc_html( $custom_field_value ) . '</div>';
            }
            ?>

Please give me a solution
