Featured Image URL Retrieval

User
get featured image url from https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
Assistant
To retrieve the featured image URL for posts from the WordPress REST API at https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts, you can use the `_embed` query parameter to include embedded media in the response. Here's how you can do it:

1. **Make a GET request with `_embed`:**

Append `?_embed` to your API endpoint URL to include embedded resources, such as the featured image, in the response.

https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed



2. **Parse the JSON response:**

In the JSON response, each post object will contain an `_embedded` field. To access the featured image URL, navigate to `_embedded['wp:featuredmedia'][0].source_url`.

Here's an example of how you might extract the featured image URL in Python:

import requests

   response = requests.get('https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed')
   posts = response.json()

   for post in posts:
       if 'wp:featuredmedia' in post['_embedded']:
           featured_image_url = post['_embedded']['wp:featuredmedia'][0]['source_url']
           print(f"Post ID: {post['id']}, Featured Image URL: {featured_image_url}")
       else:
           print(f"Post ID: {post['id']} has no featured image.")



This script fetches the posts with embedded media and prints out the featured image URL for each post.

For more detailed information on this method, you can refer to the article by Misha Rudrastyh. citeturn0search3

By using the `_embed` parameter, you can efficiently retrieve the featured image URLs without the need for additional API requests or custom code modifications.

onchanhgng radio buttons app url not changes

Assistant
Your issue seems to be related to how Vue handles reactivity with `v-model` and `watch`. Here are a few things to check and fix:

### Fix the `v-radio-group` Binding
Your `v-radio-group` is missing `v-model`, which should be bound to `picked`.

#### Update this:

<v-radio-group>

#### To this:

<v-radio-group v-model="picked">

This ensures that the selected radio button updates `picked` correctly.

### Fix the `v-img` Source
You're using:

:src="post._embedded['wp:featuredmedia']['0'].source_url"

If a post doesn't have a featured image, this will cause an error. Instead, use optional chaining (`?.`) to prevent errors:

:src="post._embedded?.['wp:featuredmedia']?.[0]?.source_url || 'fallback-image.jpg'"

Replace `'fallback-image.jpg'` with a default image URL.

### Debugging
To check if `picked` is updating correctly, add:

watch(picked, (newUrl) => {
  console.log("New API URL: ", newUrl); // Debugging
  if (newUrl) {
    loading.value = true;
    fetchPosts(newUrl);
  }
}, { immediate: true });

### Summary of Fixes:
1. **Bind `v-model` in `v-radio-group`**: “
2. **Fix `v-img` URL handling**: Use optional chaining.
3. **Debugging**: Add `console.log(newUrl)` inside `watch(picked, …)` to verify changes.

This should resolve the issue where changing the radio button doesn't update the API URL. 🚀

create array in vue js
Assistant
You can create an array in Vue.js to store the radio button options dynamically. Here’s how you can define it in your “ section and bind it to your template:

### Define the Array in `script setup`

<script setup>
import { ref, watch } from 'vue';
import axios from "axios";

const sources = ref([
  { label: "Mozilla Blog", value: "https://blog.mozilla.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed" },
  { label: "Time", value: "https://time.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed" },
  { label: "PostMymeds", value: "https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed" },
  { label: "Connacht Tribune", value: "https://connachttribune.ie/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed" }
]);

const picked = ref(sources.value[0].value); // Default selection
const posts = ref([]);
const loading = ref(true);
const error = ref(null);

const fetchPosts = async (url) => {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get(url);
    posts.value = response.data;
  } catch (err) {
    error.value = "Error fetching posts";
  } finally {
    loading.value = false;
  }
};

// Watch for changes in selected radio button and fetch posts
watch(picked, (newUrl) => {
  if (newUrl) {
    loading.value = true;
    fetchPosts(newUrl);
  }
}, { immediate: true });
</script>

### Bind the Array to `v-radio-group` in Template:

<v-radio-group v-model="picked">
  <v-radio v-for="source in sources" :key="source.value" :label="source.label" :value="source.value"></v-radio>
</v-radio-group>

### How It Works:
– We store the API sources as an array of objects (`sources`).
– We set the default selected value to the first item in the array.
– We use `v-for` to dynamically generate `v-radio` options.
– We watch `picked` for changes and fetch posts accordingly.

This makes your code more dynamic and scalable! 🚀

on expand open only related post
Assistant
You're currently using a single `show` variable for all posts, which causes every post to toggle when you click any one. Instead, you need to track the expanded state for each post individually.

### ✅ **Solution: Use a reactive object to store expanded states**
Modify your code as follows:

### **1️⃣ Add a reactive object for expanded states**

import { ref, watch } from 'vue';
import axios from "axios";

const picked = ref("https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed"); 
const posts = ref([]);
const loading = ref(true);
const error = ref(null);
const expandedPosts = ref({}); // Store expanded states for each post

const fetchPosts = async (url) => {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get(url);
    posts.value = response.data;

    // Reset expandedPosts when new posts are loaded
    expandedPosts.value = {};
  } catch (err) {
    error.value = "Error fetching posts";
  } finally {
    loading.value = false;
  }
};

watch(picked, (newUrl) => {
  if (newUrl) {
    loading.value = true;
    fetchPosts(newUrl);
  }
}, { immediate: true });

const toggleExpand = (postId) => {
  expandedPosts.value[postId] = !expandedPosts.value[postId];
};

### **2️⃣ Update Your Template**
Modify the `v-btn` to toggle only the clicked post:

<v-card v-for="post in posts" :key="post.id">
  <v-img
    height="200px"
    :src="post._embedded?.['wp:featuredmedia']?.[0]?.source_url || 'fallback.jpg'"
    cover
  ></v-img>
  
  <v-card-title>
    {{ post.title.rendered }}
  </v-card-title>

  <v-card-actions>
    <v-btn color="orange-lighten-2" text="Explore"></v-btn>

    <v-spacer></v-spacer>

    <v-btn
      :icon="expandedPosts[post.id] ? 'mdi-chevron-up' : 'mdi-chevron-down'"
      @click="toggleExpand(post.id)"
    ></v-btn>
  </v-card-actions>

  <v-expand-transition>
    <div v-show="expandedPosts[post.id]">
      <v-divider></v-divider>
      <v-card-text v-html="post.excerpt.rendered"></v-card-text>
    </div>
  </v-expand-transition>
</v-card>

### ✅ **What This Fixes:**
– 🎯 Each post has its own expanded state.
– 🎯 Clicking one post does not affect others.
– 🎯 When new posts are loaded, the expanded states reset.

🚀 Now only the clicked post expands while others remain closed! 🚀

add link to v-card
Assistant
To make the entire `v-card` clickable and link to the post, you can use the `to` prop if it's an internal link or wrap the card with an “ tag for external links.

### ✅ **Solution: Add an anchor “ tag to wrap `v-card`**
Modify your `v-card` component like this:

<v-card v-for="post in posts" :key="post.id">
  <a :href="post.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;">
    <v-img
      height="200px"
      :src="post._embedded?.['wp:featuredmedia']?.[0]?.source_url || 'fallback.jpg'"
      cover
    ></v-img>
    
    <v-card-title>
      {{ post.title.rendered }}
    </v-card-title>
  </a>

  <v-card-actions>
    <v-btn color="orange-lighten-2" :href="post.link" target="_blank">Read More</v-btn>

    <v-spacer></v-spacer>

    <v-btn
      :icon="expandedPosts[post.id] ? 'mdi-chevron-up' : 'mdi-chevron-down'"
      @click="toggleExpand(post.id)"
    ></v-btn>
  </v-card-actions>

  <v-expand-transition>
    <div v-show="expandedPosts[post.id]">
      <v-divider></v-divider>
      <v-card-text v-html="post.excerpt.rendered"></v-card-text>
    </div>
  </v-expand-transition>
</v-card>

### ✅ **What This Does**
– Wraps the `v-card` title and image in an “ tag so users can click anywhere.
– Adds a "Read More" button that also links to the post.
– Opens the post in a new tab (`target="_blank"`) for a better user experience.

🚀 Now users can click the card or the button to visit the full post! 🚀

how to add link in button

Assistant
To add a link to the “, you have a few options depending on whether the link is **internal (Vue Router)** or **external**.

### ✅ **1️⃣ External Link (opens in a new tab)**
If you want the button to link to an external website:

<v-btn icon :href="'https://example.com'" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
  <v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
</v-btn>

– `:href="url"` → Links to an external page.
– `target="_blank"` → Opens in a new tab.
– `rel="noopener noreferrer"` → Improves security.

### ✅ **2️⃣ Internal Link (Vue Router)**
If you are using Vue Router for internal navigation:

<v-btn icon :to="'/profile'">
  <v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
</v-btn>

– `:to="'/profile'"` → Navigates within the Vue app.

### ✅ **3️⃣ Conditional Internal/External Link**
If the link can be internal or external, you can use both `href` and `to` dynamically:

<v-btn icon :to="isInternal ? '/profile' : null" :href="isInternal ? null : 'https://example.com'">
  <v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
</v-btn>

– If `isInternal` is `true`, it uses `to` for Vue Router.
– If `isInternal` is `false`, it uses `href` for external links.

🚀 Now your button is fully functional as a link! 🚀

link notwork
Assistant
In Vuetify, “ does not support the `to` prop directly for navigation. Instead, wrap it inside a “ for Vue Router or an “ tag for an external link.

### ✅ **Solution 1: Use `router-link` for internal navigation**
If you're using Vue Router, wrap the toolbar title with “:

<router-link to="/" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;">
  <v-toolbar-title>My Application</v-toolbar-title>
</router-link>

– This ensures Vue Router handles the navigation.
– `style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;"` keeps the styling consistent.

### ✅ **Solution 2: Use “ for external links**
If the link is external (e.g., `https://example.com`), use an “ tag:

<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;">
  <v-toolbar-title>My Application</v-toolbar-title>
</a>

– `target="_blank"` opens the link in a new tab.
– `rel="noopener noreferrer"` improves security.

🚀 Now your toolbar title will be a clickable link! 🚀
