Inserting Snippets Into Code

  • I’m trying to figure out the (I’m sure simple) task of including a snippet into a page template.

    Here is the code I’m trying to add… maybe best as a shortcode? But still unsure how to accomplish it. 

    <?php

$post_object = get_field('location');

if( $post_object ): 

	// override $post
	$post = $post_object;
	setup_postdata( $post ); 
	?>
			  <div>
				  
				  <img src="<?php the_field('new_icon'); ?>" width="151" /></div>
			  
    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    Thanks for any help.

  • Hi milopop
    as I understand you, are you trying to edit a template file directly – or am I misunderstanding you?

    Code Snippets is a plugin that allows you to create custom php code as code blocks and to enable, disable, export and import as needed.

    do you have a theme template that you want to edit and are you working with a child theme?

    I wish you success

    Hi @milopop,

    My apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

    You can use a code snippet to filter page content, and if the current page uses a specific page template, append your custom content. Here’s an example:

    add_filter( 'the_content', function ( $content ) {
  
	if ( 'page-full.php' !== get_page_template_slug() ) {
		return $content;
	}
	
	ob_start();
	
	$post_object = get_field('location');
	
	if ( $post_object ) {
		// override $post
		$post = $post_object;
		setup_postdata( $post );
		
		?>
		<div>
			<img src="<?php the_field('new_icon'); ?>" width="151" />
		</div>
			
		<?php
		
		wp_reset_postdata();
	}

	return $content . ob_get_clean();
} );
