Differentiate blog post types in post_in_list.html
I've got a couple of different blog post types and would like to give each an icon on the blog index page, depending on what the content is. For example, I'd like a post from a video post type to have a class of 'video' on the <li> on the index page. I'm trying this but it doesn't work:
My video post template in /templates/blog/posts/ has a hidden field with a default value:
<perch:blog id="video_marker" type="hidden" suppress="true" default="video" />
I was hoping this would automatically populate the database entry for each video post type with a value of 'video' so that I could then pull the class back out in the post_in_list.html template with the 'video_marker' ID like this:
<li class="hentry <perch:blog id="video_marker" />" >
I'd then be able to have a film camera icon that sits next to each video-centric post (<li class="video">), generated with my CSS.
Do you know if there's a way to achieve this?
Thanks :)
The
postTemplateid should list the template the post is using.Sounds a lot less convoluted :) How can I output that to the HTML?
Haha I thought it would be a lot more complicated than that!
It's outputting this:
Is there any way to take the filename only, without the directory or file extension?
Actually, I've just used this to target the post type:
So at least I can do what i want to do :) If I can still strip the id back to only video_post that would make me happy though– my HTML feels a bit weird now…
You can use the
replaceattribute to replace the bits you don't want with nothing.Mind=blown! 'Replace' is my new favourite thing! This is working just the way I wanted it to now:
Thanks Drew :)
