I am using a wordpress theme which has a page template named roomtypes. I am not a php pro but as far as I understand this template gets the posts. When I add a Room type, it is created as a post with a post_type=roomtype.
So this template gets these posts, adds their title and a thumbnail image.
My problem is, when I create a page and enter some text it does not shows when I choose this template.
So with some digging I found out that the_content(); function does the trick. I tried to add it and it worked:)
The matter is, I cannot use the content where I need it to be.
This is the code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Roomtypes
*/
global $wp_query;
get_header();?>
<div class="middle-inner-wrapper" style="background:#e7dfd6 url(<?
php echo TEMPLATE_URL.get_option('tgt_default_inner_background');?>) no-
repeat center top;">
<div class="localization">
<p class="site-loc"><a href="<?php echo HOME_URL;?>"
style="color:white"> <?php echo get_option('tgt_hotel_name'); ?
></a></p><p>» <?php _e ('Rooms', 'hotel');?></p>
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div class="middle-inner">
<div class="center-inner">
<!-- This is content -->
<?php
global $post;
query_posts
("post_type=roomtype&orderby=name");
if ( have_posts() ) {
?>
<div class="title">
<p class="h1"><?php _e ('Rooms',
'hotel');?></p>
</div>
<?php $i=0; while (
have_posts() ) { the_post(); $i++;
//$thumbnail_id =
get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID);
// $link_image =
wp_get_attachment_image_src( $thumbnail_id, 'roomtype-image' );
//$link_thumbnail =
wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumbnail_id);
if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
$thumbnail_id =
get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID);
$link_image =
wp_get_attachment_image_src( $thumbnail_id, 'roomtype-image' );
} else {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
'post_mime_type' => 'image'
);
$attachments =
get_posts($args);
$link_image =
wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachments[0]->ID, 'roomtype-image' );
}
?>
<?php if($i%2!=0){ ?>
<div class="room-left">
<div class="room-
box" align="center">
<a
href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php if
($link_image[0] != ''){ ?>
<img
src="<?php echo $link_image[0]; ?>" />
<?php } ?>
</a>
</div>
<a class="room-
link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php
the_title(); ?></a>
</div>
<?php } else{ ?>
<div class="room-right">
<div class="room-
box" align="center">
<a
href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php if
($link_image[0] != ''){ ?>
<img
src="<?php echo $link_image[0]; ?>" style="margin-top:3px;" />
<?php } ?>
</a>
</div>
<a class="room-
link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php
the_title(); ?></a>
</div>
<?php } };
}else{ ?>
<div class="title">
<p class="h11"> <?php _e('No Rooms
Available!', 'hotel') ?> </p>
<div class="title-comments">
</div>
<div class="news-content">
<p>
<?php
_e('Sorry, but this section
has no rooms!', 'hotel');
?>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar();?>
<div class="bottom">
<!--<img src="<?php echo TEMPLATE_URL;?
>/images/inner-page-bottom.jpg" alt="inner_page_bottom_image"/>-->
</div>
</div>
<!-- content end -->
<?php get_footer();?>
I need the content to be where I’m indicating in the code, but some how when I add
<div>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
Things gets messy.
If I only add the_content(); then it gets much more worse,all those posts content is shows:(
How can I add only the content of the page I use the page template?
the_content()(and many others) must be inside The Loop.For retrieving a post/page/custom-post-type data outside the Loop, take a look here:
Get post content from outside the loop
The working code, based on your example, would be:
Use
get_the_content()to store the page’s content to a variable ($page_content) and then you can use it where ever you need it. If you use it inside your loop for the posts, use something likeif ( $i == 0 ) echo $page_contentso it’ll only be shown once:
