Loopbuilder adding column text with dynamic data?

I am using loopbuilder to make a wraploop for posts, with the following:

---

Image

Title

Text (exerpt)

---

I managed to get the dynamic data from the image, title and read more but I cannot see the DB (dynamic data icon from betheme) besides the column text item.

Is there any way to get an exerpt form the text of the post with the loop builder and possibly limit it to a certain character amount?

Or would it be possible to get loop builder select a specific column text item from the post and display that?

  • Hi,

    Please try to use the Heading element, and in the Style tab, set the Line clamp number:

    Hi Phil,

    Thanks for the pointer to limit the number of lines.

    Additional problem is, nothing is showing, I tried for example {excerpt} and {content}, but no text.

    Besides that I wondered if it would be possible to show only one specific column text from the original post?

    Maybe something like {columntext:9}


    To be clear, I am making this for the archive page.

    Regarding limiting the number of "column text" there is no setting for that

    Hi,

    I already sent all details earlier in regards to this post: https://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/80722/templates-not-showing#latest

    I have sent the URL regarding this particular issue just now through code canyon, with reference to this post about the loop builder.

    The lorum ipsum text under the titles at the example page I've sent should be dynamic as mentioned in above messages.

  • You did not attach login credentials, and the ones I have from your previous private messages do not work.

    Could you please resend them, please?


    Thanks

  • Sorry, forgot to add the page url, that is /disciplines/

  • For some reason, credentials still do not work:

    Do they work for you?


    Best regards

  • Ah sorry about that, please use for admin another username with same password as sent through DM:

    betester

  • The excerpt dynamic data does not work, because this field is empty in your posts:

    I have added a test text in the excerpt field, and it works:

    So if you want to display an excerpt, you must add it to your posts.

    Content dynamic data also works, but you must add it:

    Best regards

  • Ahaaaa, thanks for explaining!
