Hi,

I’m trying to format a custom event type based on a custom field.
I have a list of events where the custom ‘type’ feild can be one of ‘Unavailable Date’, ‘Gig Date’ or ‘Rehearsal Date’.
I want the post title font to be a different color based on the ‘type’ field.

This is what i’ve got…

 while($gigsPosts->have_posts()) {
		$gigsPosts->the_post(); ?>

	
         <li >
	<?php  $colorOption = get_field('type') ;
	if( $colorOption = "Unavailable Date"){$color = "red";}
	elseif ( $colorOption = "Gig Date"){$color = "gray";}
	elseif ($colorOption = "Rehearsal Date"){$color = "Blue";}
	?> 
	    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" >
              <div class="date">
                <p class="day"><?php $eventDate = new DateTime(get_field('date'));
		 echo $eventDate->format('d')?></p>
                <p class="month"><?php echo $eventDate->format('M')?></p>
              </div>
              <div class="item-info-container">
			
                <h1 style="color:<?php echo $color; ?>"><?php the_title()?></h1>
                <p class="item-description">
					
                  <?php echo get_field('description')?>
                </p>
              </div>
            </a>
          </li>
<?php }
	?>
			
  </ul>
      </div>

With the code as it is, all of my post titles are showing in red.

If I echo out $color I get ‘red’ for each post (test posts with a mix of ‘type’ categories’.
If I echo out get_field(‘type’) I get ‘Array’…so presumably the if statement is returning the first array item for each entry?

any help on this would be great – I’m on the verge of understanding this 😀
