Advanced Custom Fields is compatible with YooTheme Pro Dynamic Content allowing you to use any ACF custom field with your YooTheme Elements. Whether you have a Gallery, Image, or Map elements on your YooTheme pages, you can utilize Dynamic Content to get the value directly from your ACF custom fields.
Examples
Below we will see a few examples on how you'd use ACF fields in YooTheme elements that accept both a single content source and a multiple item source.
Example #1: ACF - Video
Let's see an example of how you'd use the "ACF - Video" custom field with the "Video" YooTheme element.
Assuming you have created an "ACF - Video" custom field, and have set a video URL in a Joomla article, you can then edit the article with YooTheme, add the Video element to the page and follow the steps listed below to use the "ACF - Video" custom field value in the element:
- Add a Video element to your page
- Click on "Advanced" > "Dynamic Content", and select Page > "Article"
- Then click back to the "Content" tab and click on Video > "Dynamic"
- Select your "ACF - Video" custom field
That's it! Your YooTheme Video element should now display the video as selected under the "ACF - Video" custom field.
Example #2: ACF - Gallery
Let's see an example of how you'd use the "ACF - Gallery" custom field with the "Gallery" YooTheme element.
Assuming you have created an "ACF - Gallery" custom field, and have set a value in a Joomla article, you can then edit the article, add the Gallery element to the page and follow the steps listed below to use the "ACF - Gallery" custom field value in the element:
- Add a Gallery element to your page
- Click "Add Item" > Advanced
- Under "Dynamic Content" select Page > "Article"
- Under "Multiple Item Sources" select the "ACF - Gallery" custom field
- Then click back to the "Content" tab and click on IMAGE > "Dynamic"
- Select the Full Image URL under your "ACF - Gallery" custom field
The ACF Gallery custom field gives you access to the following properties:
- Thumbnail Image URL
- Full Image URL
- Source Image URL
- Caption
That's it! Your YooTheme Gallery element should display the images selected in the "ACF - Gallery" custom field.
Example #3: ACF - Gallery when used in a Subform (Repeater) custom field
In this example, we expect that you have an ACF - Gallery custom field and a Subform custom field. You should have added the ACF - Gallery custom field within the Subform custom field.
- Add a Gallery element to your page
- Go to the "Advanced" tab > Dynamic Content > Select Page > Article, and under "Multiple Item Sources", select Article (Fields) > Subform custom field.
- Click on the "Content" tab > "Add Item" > Click on the "Advanced" tab.
- Under "Dynamic Content" select "Parent (Subform)", or the name of your Subform field
- Under "Multiple Item Sources" select the "ACF - Gallery" custom field
- Then click back to the "Content" tab and click on Image > "Dynamic"
- Select the Full Image URL
