Displaying fields from a Menu

In WordPress, Menus can also have custom fields - usually created with ACF, MetaBox, or Pods. Advanced Views allows you to display them.

In Advanced Views, Layout embedding happens using native WordPress shortcodes. Each Layout has its own unique shortcode that can be pasted into any location, regardless of the theme, editor, or page builder you're using.

Shortcodes also support arguments, allowing you to customize the behavior of the same entity in different contexts.

1. How to display fields of a specific Menu

1. Create a new Layout

2. Add any fields

3. Save the Layout, copy its embedding shortcode

4. Add the object-id="menu" argument

5. Optionally. Add the menu-slug="YOUR_SLUG"

6. Embed Layout: paste the shortcode inside the target place

Shortcode format

To load fields from the options page, the Layout shortcode should contain at least 4 arguments:

[avf-layout name="Name" id="651d5d75bfdf2" object-id="menu" menu-slug="YOUR_SLUG"]

1. name argument - used for clarification purposes only and doesn't play any functional role.

2. id argument - associates the shortcode with a specific Layout.

3. object-id argument - with menu value

4. menu-slug - specifies the menu slug whose fields should be displayed.

You can also use the common Layout shortcode arguments to additionally customize this Layout embedding, e.g., limiting its visibility for specific user roles.
