In this guide, we will explore a use case where we have meta fields<\/strong><\/a> for the icon and link in the Custom Post Type<\/strong>. Using the Component<\/strong><\/a> feature, we need to display a dynamic button on a single post that pulls the icon and link from the meta fields. For that, we will use the Dynamic Field<\/strong><\/a> widget \u2013 the most relevant available solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Meta Fields<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Proceed to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Post Types<\/em><\/strong>, then click the \u201cEdit<\/strong>\u201d button next to the needed CPT<\/strong>. Move to the Meta fields<\/strong> tab, and click the \u201cNew Meta Field<\/strong>\u201d button to add the \u201cText<\/a>\u201d field for the link. Type in the needed Label<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"text<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Add one more field and select the \u201cIconpicker<\/a>\u201d Field Type<\/strong>. Enter the Label <\/strong>for the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iconpicker<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Click the \u201cUpdate Post Type<\/strong>\u201d button.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, go to the posts from the edited CPT <\/strong>and add the data to the newly created fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"fields<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ensure you saved the changes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Build a Component<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Now, navigate to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Listings\/Components<\/em><\/strong> and click the \u201cAdd New Component<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the newly opened Setup Component<\/strong> pop-up, enter the Component name<\/strong> and select the Component view<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"create<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Click the \u201cCreate Component<\/strong>\u201d button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click the file-shaped icon in the top panel and create three Text Component Controls<\/strong> in the Component Content Controls <\/strong>tab. There should be controls for button label, button link, and button icon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"component<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, inside the Component<\/strong>, add the Dynamic Field<\/strong> widget. In the Source<\/strong>, select the \u201cComponent Content Value\u201d option. In the Object field \/ Meta field \/ Repeater key \/ Component prop<\/strong> input, enter the Component Name<\/strong> for the icon, which can be found in the Component Content Controls<\/strong> settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Then, enable the Filter field output<\/strong> toggle and select the \u201cEmbed icon from iconpicker\u201d option from the Callback <\/strong>dropdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"source<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now, open your site in a new window and proceed to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > JetEngine > Macros Generator<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Macros <\/strong>field, select the \u201cComponent Control Value\u201d option, and for the Control Name<\/strong>, enter the name of the text control for the button link. Copy and keep the macro you get.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"macros<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Change the Control Name<\/strong> to match the button label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"macros<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Copy and keep this macro as well for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move back to the Component <\/strong>settings page. Turn on the Customize field output<\/strong> toggle, and in the newly appeared Field format<\/strong> field, enter the following piece of code: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<a href='%macro for button link%'>%s %macro for button label%<\/a><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Instead of the \u201cmacro for button link\u201d and \u201cmacro for button label\u201d, paste the macros you created in the previous step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"dynamic<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Publish the template once you are ready.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Add the Component to the Page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Move to the single template page where the button should be added. Add the Component <\/strong>you created (you can find it by the name you added during the step of creating the Component<\/strong>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now we need to set the controls. For the \u201cbutton_label\u201d, we want the same label displayed for all posts, so we just enter it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the link and icon, click the \u201cDynamic Tag<\/strong><\/a>\u201d icon next to the field and select the \u201cCustom Field\u201d option from the dropdown. Then select the icon and link fields from the custom fields we created earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"controls<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Click the \u201cPublish<\/strong>\u201d button once you are ready.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Check the Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Proceed to the front-end page of the posts from your CPT<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, the button with the defined text and icon is displayed. Additionally, when we hover over the button, we see that the link is attached to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"button<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
