"Featured" selection – conditional check

Great question.

All the meta for a listing is stored in a global variable $property where you can access any listing data.

For example

function my_featured_property() {
    global $property;
    $meta_key = 'property_featured';
    $result = $property->epl_property_meta($meta_key);
    echo $result;
}

That will just echo “yes” if featured is ticked but you can use that as a template to build your function with.

Also all meta is stored in the exact way WordPress works so you can also use that syntax to retrieve custom meta. Our global $property is a faster way of returning data vs using get_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key );

Actually, I just answered my own question. No custom query is necessary. I’ll post the answer here for anyone else who wants to know. Just using the shortcode [listing property_featured=”yes”] outputs any properties where the Featured Property button is ticked ‘Yes’.

What an amazing plugin this is! I’m really impressed with all the work that’s gone into it.
