    Hi,
    How can we add gd post meta to elementor dynamic widget?
    For instance, I want to use the elementor icon widget for facebook but use the gd custom field value as the url.

    Also, is it not possible to render gd shortcodes in a gd elementor widget? For example, I want to add the gd widget for contact form, but add the shortcode for post title into the button label field.

    screenshots attached. thanks

    I’ve tried selecting post custom field and adding the custom key, but it’s not linking the icon.

    Hi laurence,

    Thanks for your post. Kindly share your Website WP admin access here in private reply and we’ll check and see if what you needed there is possible to achieve without customization. Also, tell us how to replicate this.

    With Elementor you should use GD Post Meta shortcodes.

    If you use a key, use geodir_ as a prefix for the field key like

    geodir_facebook

    The widget button label doesn’t take shortcodes, sorry.

    Is it possible to display custom field content outside of GD?
    I’m trying to create a search results page that displays a loop of businesses with admin only fields in a table layout.

    Yes,

    The most common way to do that is with GD Listings.

    Many GD shortcodes will take an ID as a parameter.

    How would I assign a custom archive item template separate from the default one?

    I want a public search to display title, image, description, social links, hours, featured, etc…with single column layout. (which I’ve currently setup).

    Then I want an admin only search page that displays a table of results that include Title, customfield1, customfield2, customfield3, etc.

    That requires a customization.
    As an example you can see how to customize the map bubble or read about template overrides here:
