Custom Fields Not Displaing on Category or Archive Page - timber

Question

I have set up an Advanced Custom Field item to display a featured image, description etc at the top of each Category & Archive of a custom post type.
The Custom Post Type & Taxonomy are
$event_args = array(
'has_archive' => 'news-events',
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'rewrite' => $event_rewrite,
'capability_type' => 'post',
);
register_post_type( 'events', $event_args );
register_taxonomy( 'event_category', array( 'events' ), $events_args );
In archive-events.php I have
$context['pagination'] = Timber::get_pagination();
$context['title'] = 'Archive Tours';
$context['posts'] = Timber::get_posts();
$content['events'] = Timber::get_terms('event_category');
Timber::render($templates, $context);
In the Twig file
<div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12">
<article class="post post-container">
<div class="entry-header">
<div class="post-thumb thumb">
{% if events.featured_event_image %}
<img src="{{TimberImage(events.featured_event_image).src}}" alt="{{ events.featured_event_title }}"
class="img-responsive" />
{% else %}
{# TODO: replace this with something we serve. #}
<img src="http://placehold.it/500x340" alt="Default Thumbnail" class="img-responsive">
{% endif %}
</div>
</div>
<div class="sa_blog_content">
<div class="sa_blog_center">
<h4 class="sa_blog_title"><a target="_self" title="{{ events.featured_event_title }}" href="#">{{
events.featured_event_title }}</a></h4>
<div class="meta">
<span><time datetime="{{post.post_date|date('F j, Y')}}">{{post.post_date|date('F j, Y')}}</time></span>
<span>359 Views</span>
</div>
</div>
{{ events.featured_event_summary }}
<div class="tagcloud">
{% for term in post.terms('featured_event_tags') %}
<span>{{post.term.name}}</span>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
</article>
</div>
Yet none of my Custome Fields are available in the Archive or Category pages. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

When you use Timber::get_terms(), you’ll get an array in return.
Instead of checking for the existence of a custom field with {% if events.featured_event_image %} you probably have to loop over the elements in events:
{% for event in events %}
{% if event.featured_event_image %}
{# your code #}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
Or you can directly access the first element of the array with
{% if event[0].featured_event_image %}
In the same way, {{ events.featured_event_summary }} will not show up, because the field featured_event_summary can’t be found on the array, but probably exists in each of the elements of the array.
When you use {% for term in post.terms('featured_event_tags') %}, then you ask to get all terms of a featured_event_tags taxonomy assigned to that post. From your code excerpts I can see that you only register event_category as a taxonomy. In you screenshots I can see that featured_event_tags is the name of a custom field set on the taxonomy event_category.
To get the terms for a post, you then should do:
{% for term in post.terms('event_category') %}
Inside this for loop, you seem to trying to get the link and name for that term, but you access it from post with {{ post.term.link }}. Probably, it should be
{% for term in post.terms('event_category') %}
{{ term.link }}
{{ post.term }} won’t work, because term() is not a method of Timber’s Post class. There’s only the terms() method, which will get you all terms assigned to a post.
These could all be reasons why nothing will show up in your code. Remember that you can also do {{ dump( variable ) }} to check the contents of a variable in Twig.
If you still get stuck, then update your question with more code and I can update this answer.
