Dynamic Values

Updated 2 weeks ago

Dynamic values fetch and show data from a specific source. There are 3 types of dynamic values based on their source:

• Global – values are specified site-wide and do not vary from page to page. Examples: site icon, site title, homepage URL, custom fields from the ACF Options page, etc.
• Current page – values depend on the currently viewed page. Examples: post title, featured image, post taxonomy, custom field assigned to a page, etc.
• Current Grid/List item – values depend on the post/page which corresponds to the Grid/List item. This is Zephyr specific, all those values can be used only via Grid Layouts. Examples: post title, featured image, post taxonomy, custom field, etc.

Text Dynamic Values #

Most options supporting dynamic values allow you to select them via the special popup. Click the "stack" icon on the right and see all available values.

Multiple Text Dynamic Values #

In case you need to use a dynamic value as a part of your text you can use special shorthands:

• {{custom_field_name}} – shows the value from a custom field of the current page (post, product, term, etc.). All HTML tags will be stripped, that's why it's not possible to output images and other complex content. If the custom field doesn't exist, then returns an empty string.
• {{option|custom_field_name}} – shows the value from a custom field of the ACF Options page, if it exists.
• {{site_title}} – shows the site title from general settings
• {{the_title}} – shows the current page title
• {{post_type_singular}} – shows the name of the current post type (e.g. Post, Page, Movie, Video, Member)
• {{post_type_plural}} – shows the name of the current post type in plural (e.g. Posts, Pages, Movies, Videos, Members)
• {{comment_count}} – shows comments amount of the current post (or reviews amount of the current WooCommerce product)
• {{post_count}} – shows the total amount of published posts
• {{user_count}} – shows the total amount of registered users
• {{today}} – shows the current date in "Ymd" format. Example: 20230831 is August 31, 2023
• {{now}} – shows the current time in "His" format. Example: 162449 is 16:24:49
• {{today_now}} – shows the current date and time in "YmdHis" format. Example: 20240101000000 is the beginning of 2024 year
