Generateblocks partly synced pattern

Hi there,

partially synced patterns isn’t a thing yet.. WordPress are working on that , although i am not 100% it would handle this requirement.

So you would need to do something to workaround that.

For example:

1. add a Custom Field to the page to store the “slug” eg. tear_trough or smootheye
2. add a GB Headline block and
2.1 set its Dynamic Data to display that custom field so it actually shows that value on the front end.
2.2 give it an Advanced > Additional CSS Class of: dynamic-meta

3. Now a PHP Snippet:

add_filter( 'render_block_generateblocks/container', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    if ( 
      !is_admin() && 
      ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 
      strpos( $block['attrs']['className'], 'dynamic-meta' ) !== false 
    ) {
        $meta_field_name = 'price_' . $block_content;
        $meta_field_value = get_field( $meta_field_name , get_the_ID());
        if ( $custom_field  ) {
            $block_content = $meta_field_value;
        }
    }
  
    return $block_content;
 }, 10, 2 );

This should use the dynamic data in the headlibe block to build a new get_field request to return the value you need.

Lets roll back a moment.

On every page – are you going to have a different Custom Field to store the value specific to that page ?
If so – why do you need a different custom field name ?

Try this instead:

1. remove any code from above:
2. add this php snippet:

add_filter( 'render_block_generateblocks/headline', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    if ( 
      !is_admin() && 
      ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 
      strpos( $block['attrs']['className'], 'dynamic-meta' ) !== false 
    ) {
        global $post;
        $slug = $post->post_name;
        $meta_field_name = 'pris_' . $slug;
        $meta_field_value = get_field( $meta_field_name , get_the_ID());
        if ( $meta_field_value ) {
            $block_content = $meta_field_value;
        }
    }
  
    return $block_content;
 }, 10, 2 );

What this code does is generates the custom field name with the pris_ prefix + the current post name.

2. Add a GB Headline block and just give it a CSS Class of: dynamic-meta

Hi there,

Change $custom_field to $meta_field_value in line 11 of the code.

Let me know if this helps!

I updated my code above, can you try that ?

Ah ok… the issue here is that snippet gets the slug of the current post in the loop.
So its going to generated the wrong custom field name.
Change the snippet to this:

// store the current page for use in the loop
add_action('wp', function() {
    global $current_page;
    $current_page = get_queried_object();
});
add_filter('render_block_generateblocks/headline', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    if ( 
      !is_admin() && 
      ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 
      strpos( $block['attrs']['className'], 'dynamic-meta' ) !== false 
    ) {
        global $current_page;
        if ( isset($current_page) && $current_page instanceof WP_Post ) {
            $page_slug = $current_page->post_name;
            $meta_field_name = 'pris_' . $page_slug;
            $meta_field_value = get_field( $meta_field_name, get_the_ID() );
            if ( $meta_field_value ) {
                $block_content = $meta_field_value;
            }
        }
    }
  
    return $block_content;
}, 10, 2);

This should get and store the current page object so we can then use its name inside the loop.

Glad to hear that !!
