Collection Shortcode – Include Walk Details

Hi @wkndwlk,

Essentially, I would like the shortcode to show everything you would see when visiting a collection URL such as: https://www.waymark.dev/collection/demo-collection/

I like this idea. I will have a think about how this could be integrated through the Shortcode.

While it’s not exactly what you asked for, and requires making edits to your WordPress theme; because Waymark uses custom WordPress post types and taxonomies you can achieve things like this through your theme.

For example, I have updated the Collection archive page on the Waymark site to display a single Map featuring all Maps in that Collection at the top of the page. Underneath lists the Maps individually, as before.

To do this I created a file named taxonomy-waymark_collection.php in my theme directory and copied the content from index.php (or archive.php if you have one) and added the following line at the top:

<!-- Shortcode with all Maps in Collection -->
<?php echo do_shortcode('[Waymark shortcode_header="0" collection_id="' . get_queried_object()->term_id . '"]'); ?>

This could be taken further to loop over and display each Map individually.

I hope this helps and I will update if/when I make any progress displaying this kind of content through the Shortcode.

Cheers,

Joe

Hi @wkndwlk,

Hi @wkndwlk,

Do you have a workaround to display a Collection Archive page as the homepage?

Not easily, however you could modify (or create based on index.php) your theme front-page.php and add something like:

<?php get_header();?>

<?php
// Your Collection ID
$collection_id = 4;

get_header();?>


<?php

echo do_shortcode('[' . Waymark_Config::get_item('shortcode') . ' collection_id="' . $collection_id . '"]');

$maps = get_posts(array(
	'posts_per_page' => -1, // All!
	'post_type' => 'waymark_map',
	'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'waymark_collection',
			'field' => 'term_id',
			'terms' => $collection_id,
		),
	),
));

//Has Maps
if (sizeof($maps)) {
	foreach ($maps as $map) {

		echo do_shortcode('[' . Waymark_Config::get_item('shortcode') . ' map_id="' . $map->ID . ' map_width="320" map_height="240"]');
	}
}
?>

<?php map_first_archive_pagination();?>

<?php get_sidebar();?>
<?php get_footer();?>

Just a rough example – but hopefully that helps 🙂

Cheers,

Joe
