  • field - outputs a specific field from a listing

Examples

All listings that have the keyword "Apple"

 [jreviews type="listings" custom_params="keywords=Apple"]

All event listings in the next 7 days (based on the value in the jr_eventdate custom field):

 [jreviews type="listings" custom_params="jr_eventdate=+7"]

Examples

10 most helpful user reviews:

[jreviews type="reviews" reviews_order="helpful" reviews_type="user" columns="2" total="10" limit="10" show_numbers="1"]

Latest reviews:

[jreviews type="reviews" review_order="latest" total="6" limit="6"]

Field Shortcode

The Field shortcode allows you to output a specific field from any listing anywhere on the site. The shortcode format is:

[jreviews type="field" name="jr_state" listing_alias="blue-hill"]
[jreviews type="field" name="jr_state" listing_id="111"]

The listing_alias attribute represents the listing from which you want to display the field value. You can also omit the listing_alias attribute and JReviews will auto-detect the listing from the current page (JReviews listing detail, view all reviews for a listing or review discussion pages) and output the correct value for that listing. Otherwise, the shortcode is removed and the output suppressed.

The listing_id attribute is the numeric ID for the listing from which you want to display the field value. This can be useful if you want to automatically retrieve fields for a listing specified via a related listing custom field. For example, in the events category, if you want to output the venue jr_state value somewhere in the detail theme file you can use the code below in your theme:

<?php if (isset($listing['Field']['pairs']['jr_venue'])):?>
[jreviews type="field" name="jr_state" listing_id="<?php echo $listing['Field']['pairs']['jr_venue']['real_value'][0];?>"]
<?php endif;?>
