Drupal - Views - Taxonomy Term ID - custom template - anchors - php

Quick version: How do I output a taxonomy term ID in a views template? I just want the numeric ID value. This will be used as a link anchor.
Long version:
Scenario, I have a view which displays a list of taxonomy terms. That view has a Page and a Block. The Page view is set to display the Block view as a header. That Block view simply contains the taxonomy names. The Page view displays all of the taxonomy content.
I want the Block view list to anchor to the items in the Page view:
This view is already built, the missing part of the equation is getting the anchor links in place.
The view currently comprises 3 custom template files:
views-view-fields--categories--page.tpl.php
<article id="NEED THE TERM ID HERE">
<header>
<h2 class="flag-heading"><?php print $fields['name']->content; ?> <span>in association with <?php print $fields['field_sponsor']->content; ?> </span></h2>
</header>
<div class="table">
<div class="table-cell">
<?php print $fields['field_category_image']->content; ?>
</div>
<div class="table-cell">
<?php print $fields['description']->content; ?>
</div>
</div>
</article>
views-view-fields--categories--block.tpl.php
<li><?php print $fields['name']->content; ?></li>
views-view--categories--block.tpl.php
<ul>
<?php print $rows; ?>
</ul>
I've tried using a views contextual filter rewrite on the top block view links, with no luck.
All I need is the variable for the TERM ID - I've done a var dump of the available variables, I can see the TID in that list, but have no idea how to reference it in a views-view-fields template file and can find nothing online that answers this most simple of concepts.
Screenshots of the Page and Block view setup:

Finally won my argument that this jump list is completely redundant and stupid, so it'll be removed, however, I did manage to output the TID, which was fairly obvious, as these things often are...
views-view-fields--categories--block.tpl.php
<li>
<?php print $fields['name']->content; ?>
</li>
views-view-fields--categories--page.tpl.php
<article id="cat<?php print($view->result[$view->row_index]->tid); ?>">
<header>
<h2 class="flag-heading"><?php print $fields['name']->content; ?> <span>in association with <?php print $fields['field_sponsor']->content; ?> </span></h2>
</header>
<div class="table">
<div class="table-cell">
<?php print $fields['field_category_image']->content; ?>
</div>
<div class="table-cell">
<?php print $fields['description']->content; ?>
</div>
</div>
</article>
The variable is obviously in the view array, it was just a case of getting the index of the current view item.

Adding
<?php print $fields['tid']->content; ?>
should give you the TID in views-view-fields--xxx--page.tpl.php and --block.tpl.php
Make sure the fields are set to remove any default wrappers and you should be good to go.

Unknown word is coming from the pages in wordpress

I am getting child pages of a specific page. below is my code.
<div class="col-sm-3 services">
<h3>SERVICES</h3>
<?php $get_subcategories = wp_list_pages(array('child_of'=>39)); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($get_subcategories as $subcategory){?>
<li><?php echo $subcategory->name;?></li>
<?php }?>
</ul>
</div>
Here is the output of above code.
Problem: I am getting an additional word PAGES also. which is encircled in the above image.
From where this words is coming, and how to hide this ?
It is a default from the wp_list_pages() function.
Source: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_pages/
You need to enter your title_li
<?php $get_subcategories = wp_list_pages(array('child_of'=>39, 'title_li' => '')); ?>
Here i solved the issues of showing default title and bullet points on each list item, by following the guidelines of #Gavin & #misorude i changed the above code and now it is working fine.
<div class="col-sm-3 services">
<h3>SERVICES</h3>
<ul>
<?php $get_subpages = wp_list_pages(array('child_of'=>39,'title_li'=>'')); ?>
</ul>
</div>

Why does a wordpress know to use a specific template and how do I customize this?

Hello and thanks for reading. I am a .NET developer and don't know PHP (Although I am working on learning on the job) and what I am working on was made my consultants that we dont have contact with anymore. When a news post is clicked it appears to display using a template single.php. Followed is the code for this page:
<div id="marketBanner">
<div id="banner">
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/services-banner.jpg" alt="" />
</div>
<div id="breadcrumbWrap">
<div id="breadcrumbs">
<?php
if(function_exists('bcn_display'))
{
bcn_display();
}
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div class="left">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2><br />
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="the_details">
Posted: <?php the_date(); ?> | View All News
</div>
<?php the_content(''); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
Why does this page get used when a post is chosen? I want only a certain category of post to use this page and another category of post to use a different template. How do I achieve this?
You need to study the Wordpress Template Hierarchy # https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Single_Post_display
A template (PHP file) is looked for in this order (only on wordpress).
1 - single-{post_type}.php - If the post type were product, WordPress would look for single-
2 - product.php
3 - single.php
4 - index.php
In your case I would use single.php to create a template for the average post then specifically create a template for the one you want different using single-'post_type'.php
You can change the post type when creating a post.
Take a look at the Wordpress Template Hierarchy. It explains which templates get used and will probably be super helpful if you're just starting out with WP. You can use WP syntax to create category pages - but at the archive level - not the single post level.
To create separate pages based on post categories see here and below:
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if (in_category(9)) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/single-specific9.php');
return;
}
if (in_category(8)) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/single-specific8.php');
return;
}
if (in_category(11)) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/single-specific11.php');
return;
}

Link Genres in Advanced Custom Fields

I am using Advanced Custom Fields. I want to link the values (eg. thriller, suspense, etc.) of Genre custom field so that when the user clicks on one of the values they will get a filtered list of posts. For eg. when they click Thriller they will get all the posts in the Thriller category.
My code so far for the ACF is as follows:
<!-- Entry Content Start -->
<article <?php post_class('entry clearfix fitvids'); ?>>
<div class="inner-post">
<div class="cover">
<div class="post-image">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail();
}
?>
</div>
<div class="custom-fields">
<?php the_meta(); ?>
<div class="ad">
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/160/600" alt="">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="the-content">
<?php the_content(); // This is your main post content output ?>
</div>
</div><!-- /inner-post -->
</article><!-- /entry -->
Is there a solution to this?
You should create a page with custom page template. In this template you should pull posts based on the custom field passed via $_GET parameter. For example: $movies = get_posts(array('meta_key'=>'your_custom_key', 'meta_value'=>$_GET['genre'])); Then you should generate appropriate links to access this page, which should link to our custom page including genre in our $_GET variable. For example the page's slug is movies. Then our links will have the following structure: /movies/?genre=custom_field_value.

k2 item page and system-readmore - to break the article into parts

I want to share the output of the page into two parts:
In the first part - the text to the system-readmore.
In the second part - the text after the system-readmore.
Is there a ready-made components or solutions?
Or what would be the options. Can I parse the text before displaying on the availability of the separator?
Thanks in advance.
Example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51408060/Screen.jpg
joomla 3.0.2
k2 2.6.5
The easiest way could be using introtext and fulltext in K2.
Go to K2 > Parameters > Advanced > Use one editor window for introtext & fulltext (YES).
Make sure that introtext and fulltext are set to Show in the corresponding K2 category and/or item settings (Item view options in the right tabs).
Verify that your K2 template (if a custom one) is showing both parts:
This was taken from the original item.php K2 template.
<?php if(!empty($this->item->fulltext)): ?>
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemIntroText')): ?>
<!-- Item introtext -->
<div class="itemIntroText">
<?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemFullText')): ?>
<!-- Item fulltext -->
<div class="itemFullText">
<?php echo $this->item->fulltext; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<!-- Item text -->
<div class="itemFullText">
<?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Drupal Block PHP

Im created a custom block, with the below code, but im having some trouble turning the Group Title into an link, that will take the user back to the group at anytime.
Below is the code ive used, I thought active turns it into a link, but perhaps im being stupid.
<div class="active"><h2><?php print $group_title; ?></h2></div>
Below is the full code:
<?php $group_title = og_get_group_context()->title; ?>
<?php $group_nid = og_get_group_context()->nid; ?>
<?php $forum_link = og_forum_get_forum_container($group_nid); ?>
<div class="active"><h2><?php print $group_title; ?></h2></div>
<div class="content"
<div class="item-list">
<ul>
<li class="user-input-link"><a title="Add a new Forum topic"href="/node/add/forum?gids[]=<?php print $group_nid; ?>">Add a new forum topic</a>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
You need to create URL for it to work.
Here is the link to API with more info: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--common.inc/function/l/6
<div class="active"><h2><?php print l($group_title, "node/{$group_nid}"); ?></h2></div>
You need to do an anchor tag, like:
<div><h2><?php print $group_title; ?></h2></div>
I don't know how to get the url in Drupal though..
