I got this … easy peasy.

https://wpgeodirectory.com/add-a-new-tab-in-the-listing-detail-page/

But how do I custom fields to show on that tab, to be able to select that tab from the custom field editor.

Hi Tony,

That’s exactly how you do that. If it’s not working for you, could you please send us a login credential so that we could check on it? Remember to set as private reply.

Thanks!

Hello

I think I need the same feature. I’ve created a new tab using the code from the blog (https://wpgeodirectory.com/add-a-new-tab-in-the-listing-detail-page/) but I don’t know how to insert my custom fields into that tab.

For exemple, I want a tab called ‘Prices’ and put the custom fields Price1, Price2 and Price3 into this tab.

Thanks

That article is only in case you want to add data from ANOTHER plugin etc, NOT if you want to add GD custom fields.

See https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/#fieldset

So create a fieldset and custom fields, and drag and drop the custom fields under the fieldset in the order you want to display them.

Are we saying then, that it is -not- possible to add GD custom fields to a user defined tab, selectable from a listing page?

If it’s not possible to put fields in a user defined tab, just static text then I see that ability as pretty limited.

That is what I asked and where my screenshot is from. I didn’t say anything about fieldsets which are just banners for sections of custom fields.

Please review the link I posted: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/#fieldset

If you select Details page own tab at the Show in what locations? selections, then a new tab will be created for the custom fields ordered under this fieldset, and which also have Details page own tab selected.

See images

So I need to use the Fieldset to group tab contents and can not display that custom field in more than one user created tab?

Fieldset A
Item 9
Item D
Item C

Fieldset B
Item 8
Item 7
Item 1

I want Item 8 and Item D in a tab called “Details”, but both of them are in other fieldsets that may or may not have a tab already.

I want to show all the fields on “More Info” and select ones separately, in a summary form. A lessor detailed page that has something from more than one fieldset. They can select a summary view or a detailed view.

If you want a field in “more info” and a “fieldset”, select “More info tab” and “Details page own tab:” in “Show in what locations”.
See https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/#show

A custom field cannot be in two custom fieldsets, but can be in “more info” and one custom field set.

…and as best I can tell, there are shortcodes associated with custom fields?

(Therefore taking advantage of shortcodes and tabs)

Custom fields are not available as shortcodes.
Can you explain what you mean with “shortcodes associated with custom fields”?

Here are most of the shortcodes available: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/?post_type=post&s=shortcodes&cat=0

Hi,

if you add the new tab via php, you need to add custom fields via PHP too.

You can display each custom field like this:
```
global $post;
$custom_field_value1 = $post -> geodir_yourcustomfield;
echo $custom_field_value1;
```
If you search in the forum you’ll find several examples.

Thanks

Great, that does the job. Just what I was looking for.

No clue why php just totally escaped my mind, even though I used that for the tab itself.

Thanks!
