Use ACF input to create link for Headline block

Hi there,

You may move the ‘upper 3-across grid’ inside the Page Hero element instead of on individual pages. Then you can set all the dynamic parts of it just like you did with the existing Page Hero.

Hi there,

what is a) the user’s category selection and b) what is the expect full URL ?

Kinda need to know where the parts of the URL come from.

Where did you set up the [yourcategoryhere]? For the local magazine post type? What is the ACF field called? Where do you want to pull the field data?

I see, try this:

1. Add this PHP code:

add_filter('render_block_generateblocks/headline', function ($block_content, $block) {
    $allowed_classes = array('local_magazine_location_tag_1', 'local_magazine_location_tag_2', 'local_magazine_location_tag_3');

    if (
        !empty($block['attrs']['className'])
        && in_array($block['attrs']['className'], $allowed_classes, true)
    ) {
        $location_ids = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'location', true);

        // Ensure $location_ids is not empty and is an array
        if (!empty($location_ids) && is_array($location_ids)) {
            foreach ($location_ids as $location_id) {
                // Check if the term exists by ID
                $term = get_term($location_id);

                if ($term && !is_wp_error($term)) {
                    // Get the term slug
                    $term_slug = $term->slug;

                    $site_url = home_url();

                    // Customize the dynamic_url based on the CSS class
                    switch ($block['attrs']['className']) {
                        case 'local_magazine_location_tag_1':
                            $dynamic_url = $site_url . '/category/' . $term_slug . '/?tag=tag1';
                            break;
                        case 'local_magazine_location_tag_2':
                            $dynamic_url = $site_url . '/category/' . $term_slug . '/?tag=tag2';
                            break;
                        case 'local_magazine_location_tag_3':
                            $dynamic_url = $site_url . '/category/' . $term_slug . '/?tag=tag3';
                            break;
                    }

                    // Replace # with the dynamic_url in the block content
                    $block_content = str_replace('#', $dynamic_url, $block_content);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return $block_content;
}, 10, 2);
