Term color custom field as background color

[bence]

I have a custom post type (trip), and a custom made taxonomy assigned to it (trip category). For the taxonomy, I added (with ACF) a color picker field (slug: szin).

I want to show all the trips in a grid (query loop), and want to show the category assigned to each trip. Now the question is, how can I use the color picker field’s value as a backgroud color for these categories? The idea is very similar to what it is on the main page of the forum:

So far I’ve tried quite a few things, all of them at the dynamic data field under background: {acf_szin}, {term_meta:szin}… so far I didn’t explore the {echo}. Is there a way to do this without some custom PHP?

Thanks!

Dynamically Set a Single Post Section Background Color

I have a single template (for my solutions CPT) that includes 8 sections that can be turned on or off (show or hide). In most cases each solution will have 4-6 of the sections showing. On a normal page I would choose the background colors based on the layout and have for example a white background then a grey, maybe a dark and then white again. But since each solutions page will have a different make up of the sections, I need to be able to set the section background colors via a ACF field. I…

Thank you for pointing out this thread, but it still doesn’t work for me. If I use the attribute section, and set a static backround-color: red, than it works, but backround-color: {acf_szin} or background-color: {term_meta:szin} still doesn’t work. I think the problem might be with accessing the field, as it’s a field of the taxonomy assigned to the post, and not a field of the post itself. But still, I can access the category name with no problem ({post_terms_termslug}).

need more information. I checked, it works for me with categories for posts.

And there is no need to immediately insert into the attributes, for now just display it as text.

The post type:

The taxonomy:

The custom field:

The backend:

Only the {post_terms_utazas-kategoria} seems to retrieve any values:

term_meta works but it works on the term loop query

hmmm

[sinanisler]

you have 2 option give the color field to posts or just get the category id assign as Idont know color-{cat_id}

something like that in the attributes assign as class. and create a style list for each category

category1 => .color-1 => background:red
… etc

just write some simple CSS and select those category ids as class names… save time

actually, it is even possible to generate those css styles dynamically with term loop
if you can figure it out

@clickfusion63 sorry, I totally missed the second-, nested loop within the post loop. I does work now for me as well, thank you so much!
