Topic: insert a function after post title in loop?

Hello,
I’m trying to add recipe rating stars in from the WPRM plugin after the title in the loop. Right now, I’m using the standard loop and recipes are on a custom post type. Sticking the shortcode to display star ratings into a loop element does not work as it does not get the ratings for the recipe for the specific post.

I found this snippet:
```
/*try to get the recipe stars in recipe archives*/
/**
 * Star Rating 
 * @see https://www.billerickson.net/include-recipe-rating-on-archive-pages
 *
 */
function be_star_rating() {

	// Return early if WP Recipe Maker isn't active 
	if( ! class_exists( 'WPRM_Recipe_Manager' ) )
		return;

	global $post;
	$recipes = WPRM_Recipe_Manager::get_recipe_ids_from_content( $post->post_content );
	if ( isset( $recipes[0] ) ) {
		$recipe_id = $recipes[0];
		echo do_shortcode( '[wprm-recipe-rating id="' . $recipe_id . '"]' );
	}

}
```
To add to functions.php, then you’re supposed to be able to call be_star_rating() in a template to get the recipe ratings. Is there any way to do this in a GP element applied to just recipe archives, recipe-category archives and recipe-tag archives?

I’ve tried a few things that just don’t work. Or would I actually have to customize the standard loop template?
Thanks.

You will need to use the render_block() filter to run the be_star_rating() function.

Try this:

1. Add a headline block to the query loop, just add static text, star rating placeholder, add a CSS class to it, eg. star-rating.
Adding CSS class(es): https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/adding-additional-css-classes-to-blocks/

2. then add this PHP code:


add_filter( 'render_block_generateblocks/headline', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    // Check if it's not in the admin and the block contains the class 'star-rating'
    if ( 
        ! is_admin() && 
        ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 
        strpos( $block['attrs']['className'], 'star-rating' ) !== false 
    ) {
        // Capture the output of be_star_rating()
        ob_start();
        be_star_rating();
        $star_rating = ob_get_clean();

        // Return the star rating if it exists, otherwise return nothing
        return $star_rating ?: '';
    }

    return $block_content;
}, 10, 2 );
