web_finder_content_meta_key_field Shortcode
The web_finder_content_meta_key_field shortcode filters a legacy Finder against one named post-meta field. It can render a text input or date input and passes the configured comparison, relation and data type to the Finder query.
The attributes below match the current Page Builder controls and public output. Use raw syntax only for reviewed content that cannot be maintained through the visual controls.
Allowed parent shortcodes: web_finder_column.
Usage
[web_finder_content_meta_key_field]Attributes
| Attribute | Default | Accepted values | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
label |
— | Plain text | Names the custom-field filter for visitors. |
placeholder |
— | Plain text | Gives a short input hint without replacing the visible label. |
meta_key |
— | Existing post-meta key | Selects the stored field queried by this control. |
format |
— | text, date |
Selects how the field or value is rendered. |
device_visibility |
— | String unless stated otherwise | Applies the selected responsive visibility rule. |
type |
meta_key |
meta_key |
Identifies this as a Finder post-meta filter. |
values |
— | Finder-compatible value list | Supplies predefined values where the selected field format uses them. |
compare |
LIKE |
Comparison supported by the Finder library | Controls how submitted content is compared with stored metadata. |
relation |
OR |
OR, or another relation supported by the Finder library |
Combines multiple submitted values. |
data_type |
ARRAY<CHAR> |
Finder-compatible data type | Tells the Finder how stored values should be interpreted. |
class |
— | Space-separated CSS class names | Adds classes to the generated input; date format also receives the date-picker classes. |
Finder composition
Place the field directly inside web_finder_column. The callback converts meta_key to the array form expected by the Finder library and loads date-picker assets only when format is date.
Verification
Test against posts with a matching value, a different value and no value. Confirm the comparison includes only the intended records; for date format, also verify picker input and the stored metadata use compatible representations.
