Show custom field "auteur" as author

[tim]

Hi Ernesto

5 years ago (time flies 😉 ) you helped me with a modification of your plugin. I needed the following:

In the searchresults I would like to show the authors (a custom field “auteur”) below the title (not the author according wordpress, but a custom field). Any ideas how I can achieve this?

You send me this code, which worked perfect:

$authors = get_the_terms( $post_id, "auteur" );
  $author_names = array();
  if ( is_array($authors) ) {
    foreach ($authors as $a) {
      $author_names[] = $a->name;
    }
    $author = implode(" | ", $author_names);
  } 
  
  return $author; 
}

But suddenly it doesn’t work anymore. I’ve checked functions.php and the code is still there.

Do you have any ideas what could be the problem?

Thanks!

Tim

Hi Tim,

Some filters have been changed in the most recent releases. Please try this code instead of the old one:

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_author_from_cf', 10, 1);
function asp_author_from_cf($results) {
	foreach ( $results as $k => &$r ) {
		$authors = get_the_terms( $post_id, "auteur" );
		$author_names = array();
		if ( is_array($authors) ) {
			foreach ($authors as $a) {
			  $author_names[] = $a->name;
			}
			$r->author = implode(" | ", $author_names);
		} 
	}
	return $results; 
}

it should do the trick.

Hi,

Sorry, there was a mistake in the code indeed, I have corrected it via FTP, it is all right now:

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_author_from_cf', 10, 1);
function asp_author_from_cf($results) {
	foreach ( $results as $k => &$r ) {
		$authors = get_the_terms( $r->id, "auteur" );
		$author_names = array();
		if ( is_array($authors) && count($authors) > 0 ) {
			foreach ($authors as $a) {
			  $author_names[] = $a->name;
			}
			$r->author = implode(" | ", $author_names);
		} 
	}
	return $results; 
}
