I have created a custom post type named bateau in functions.php. I also created a page where all the posts that belong to the bateau custom post type are displayed, showing some of the most important fields. Finally, when I click on one of those posts, a link sends me to the related custom post page, i.e. a particular type of boat.
The custom post bateau has its own custom fields, a thumbnail, and also its custom taxonomies.
I want to retrieve and display, when I'm on the page of a particular boat, not only the most important but all its custom fields, its thumbnail and its taxonomy.
So, in the functions.php, I have written this filter :
add_filter('the_content','add_text');
function add_text($text) {
global $post;
$text = "";
if($post->post_type == 'bateau') {
$text.= "<h1 class=\"bateau-entry-title\">".get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'bateau_nom', true )."</h1>";
return $text;
}
}
It works fine, provided that I don't write plain HTML text within closing and opening PHP tags, i.e. it only works if I wrap all the HTML in a PHP text var. If I don't do so, the content is also displayed at the beginning of the header, not once, but twice. Strange, isn't it ?
If I add this line :
$text.= "<img class=\"thumb\" src=\"the_post_thumbnail();
the thumbnail displays properly in the "article"...but, guess what, also at the beginning of the header, not once, but twice !!! I just can't find why the thumbnail behaves like this. Anyone can help please ?
