Shortcode for List Pods in Elementor Template

Hi @ehuds

Please see the documentation: https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/

You’ll need the where param for this, see examples below on the page.

Hi @ehuds

You’re already almost there!

Since you filter by category slug you need to set that in the magic tag: {@category_name.slug} (not the .slug in the end).

Hi @ehuds

Did you try my suggestions?

The magic tag {@category} will refer to the category of the referenced object where you use the shortcode.

So basically, if you use the shortcode in the post pod template then the magic tags will reference to the current post.

Note that you do need to use it in a Pod Template otherwise the magic tags won’t be parsed!
This is mentioned in the beginning of this doc: https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/

In short:
– Create Pod template where you add the shortcode. Make sure you use the correct category (taxonomy) name. Note that the magic tags will not refer to the category but the post of the template!
– Put the new template in Elementor: [pods use_current=1 template="New template name"]

Please also make sure you view our videos to get a better understanding of Pods and more complex structures.

Hi @ehuds

The links I’ve send you are not tutorials but documentation pages. These explain how the code works so you can learn more about Pods and WordPress and implement it yourself.
Simply providing code never actually helps and often results in more confusion.

In this actual case it simply cannot be done with a single piece of code, therefore I’ve send you the steps you need to take to create such a view:

Basically you need 2 templates, one for the yacht loop and one for the current post so you can pull the related yacht category.

Template 1 (yacht loop), something like:
- {@title}<br>

Template 2 (related yacht list):
[pods name="yacht" template="TEMPLATE 1 NAME" where=”yacht_category.slug = '{@yacht_category}'"]

Shortcode to use in Elementor:
[pods use_current=1 template="TEMPLATE 2 NAME"]

Note that the template names and actual field names need to be changed to the correct ones if you use different names than in this example.

If you need actual coding help it’s best to ask on more public locations than this support forum. We also have our own Slack channel with many community members helping each other: https://support.pods.io/chat/

Hi @ehuds

Ah check, in that case the Elementor module you’ve selected doesn’t parse shortcodes.
Please choose an Elementor module that supports shortcodes.
