Announcing WordPress plugin to display any data from Discourse

Marketplace

Version 1.6.2

A minor update was released today - version 1.6.2.

2 more functions were made available in Twig Templates:

  • get_post_meta - utilizes the native WordPress function with the same name
  • get_current_post_meta - the same but does not require you to pass the post ID as its first parameter, and instead uses the ID of the current post in the WP loop.

A real use-case utilizing the new plugin feature with a step-by-step tutorial can be found here:

The main point of the tutorial is the ability to dynamically build URL to query Discourse for comments based on a topic ID, which can be stored in a custom post field and retrieved by the get_current_post_meta function, see the Data URL field:
