Results markup & ACF fields customization

Anonymous

Hello! I have just bought your great plugin! 🙂

Many things is clear to me. However I did not find the way how to customize which information is shown in the search results.

I am filtering CPT with several ACF fields and I would like to know, whether I can decide which fields will be shown and also how to add a custom markup around them.

Also good to mention – I am using Gutenberg and the search section is placed among other sections on the page. Am I right, that the only way how to show S&F results in this case will be the shortcode? Or would this be doable with a custom template somehow?

Thank you very much in advance!
Tomas

To display an ACF field (make sure you get the field name right in our plugin, they do NOT start with an underscore), code like this:

$perex = get_field('perex');
if( $perex ) echo $perex;

Of course, you might put some HTML around that, not might want something else if no value found …

As to the taxonomies, would they have single or multiple terms per post?

In that you may want to display data from custom fields and taxonomies, the shortcode method is probably best. We are working on alternatives, but for now I think this is the way for you.

When using the Shortcode display results method, it uses a template file named results.php. You would need to customize that, as per this starter guide:

Is that what you needed to know?

Ah, I don’t know how I could overlooked this part of documentation, but that’s exactly I was searching for! 🙂 Thank you!
