Hi there,
Is there a way to display which post type a search result is?
I have a couple of Custom Post Types – and it would be nice if the search result was displayed like this:
[Name of Post Type/Custom Post Type]
[Post Title]
[Excerpt]Example:
BOOK
Dear Evan Hansen
[Excerpt]or
BLOG
Winners announced
[Excerpt]Best,
ChristianHi Christian,
Yes – you have two options:
1. Using results grouping by post type – this is simple, but the ordering will change because of the groups.
2. Using a bit of custom code – this might be closer to what you are looking for.Thnak you – for both the solution and the quick reply.
The custom code is absolutely the direction for me.
But: Is there a way I can show the post type as a class all to it self? Which will give me the option to style it diffently than title or content?
(I am inexperienced with php-coding – but quite okay in css’ing something to look like I want i to 🙂Best,
ChristianHi Christian,
Sure! With a tiny bit of modification it’s possible to add a CSS class:
function asp_show_the_post_type_content( $results ) { foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) { if ( isset($r->post_type) ) { // Modify the post title $post_type_obj = get_post_type_object( $r->post_type ); $r->content = "<div class='$r->post_type'>" . $post_type_obj->labels->singular_name . '</div> - ' . $r->content; } } return $results; }With this, the post type is wrapped in a div with the post type class name, which you can reference by:
.asp_r .post_type_slug { }
