Check the Custom Content Type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Let us first check a Custom Content Type for which a Listing template can be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to JetEngine > Custom Content Types<\/em><\/strong> and see if there is any existing CCT. If you don\u2019t have any CCT, create one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"custom\n\n\n\n

We will revise an existing Custom Content Type to ensure we have custom fields to output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we added these four meta fields to display them in the Listing Grid later. Don\u2019t forget to hit the \u201cUpdate\u201d <\/strong>button to save changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"custom\n\n\n\n

You also need to fill in these custom fields on the edit CCT item page so there is content to show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not forget to save the CCT item after editing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"CCT\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create a Listing Template<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Now we can go to JetEngine > Listings<\/strong> and press the \u201cAdd New\u201d<\/strong> button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\"create\n\n\n\n

Select the \u201cCustom Content Type\u201d option as the Listing source<\/strong> and pick a content type<\/strong> for which you want to create the Listing. You also need to write a Listing item name<\/strong> and click the \u201cCreate Listing Item\u201d<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"setup<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you are in the editor, you can add the Dynamic Field<\/strong><\/a> widget to pull data from the CCT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Source<\/strong> should be \u201cPost\/Term\/User\/Object Data.\u201d In the Object Field<\/strong>, you will see a block of fields from the needed Custom Content Type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"object<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can add multiple Dynamic Field <\/strong>widgets to output each CCT field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that some custom fields also need to have a Callback<\/strong> applied to display the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the screenshot below, you can see a Media<\/strong> field, which stores an image by ID and has the \u201cGet Image by ID\u201d Callback<\/strong> activated to show the image instead of just its ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"get<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A field with a link can be output using the Customize field output <\/strong>option. We added the HTML tag <a> to create a clickable link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let us also check another example. There may be a case when multiple fields need to be output using just one widget in case you need to combine values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be achieved by shortcodes because multiple shortcodes can be utilized within just one widget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create a shortcode, you can use a tool called the Shortcode Generator<\/strong> provided by the JetEngine<\/em> plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to JetEngine > JetEngine<\/strong>, and enter the Shortcode Generator<\/strong> tab. The settings of the Shortcode Generator<\/strong> are the same as in the Dynamic Field<\/strong> widget. Just select the needed Source<\/strong> and Object Field<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Item\n\n\n\n

Note, the \u201cItem Author\u201d field has the user ID as a value. Therefore, we also enabled the Filter Field Output <\/strong>option and applied the \u201cGet User data by ID\u201d Callback<\/strong> to transform the user ID into its \u201cDisplay Name.\u201d After that, we copied the shortcode that was generated at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"get\n\n\n\n

We generated a shortcode for the \u201cItem Author\u201d and \u201cCreated Date\u201d fields. Using the Text Editor<\/strong> widget, we added the shortcodes of both fields and wrote the needed text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"shortcodes\n\n\n\n

Once you added all the necessary fields, the Listing template can be saved by pressing the \u201cUpdate\u201d <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Check Results on the Front End<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Let us output the Listing template on a page to check the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open a page or a template in the Elementor editor, and add the Listing Grid<\/strong> widget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select the Listing<\/strong> template for CCT that has just been created. Then adjust other settings in the Listing Grid<\/strong><\/a> if needed, and save the template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"listing\n\n\n\n

Proceed to the front end. The Listing Grid shows the CCT items displaying the fields as configured using dynamic widgets and shortcodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"listing\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s it. Now you know how to create a Listing template for the Custom Content Type to display its data in the Listing Grid widget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
