Sage 10 - Change custom post loop and pass data between views and Composers

Hi,
I have a custom post called “speakers” and i want to display in archive page divided by letter.

So i created Speaker composer, archive-speakers.blade.php and content-speakers.blade

This is the code from content-speakers:

<article @php(post_class("col-2 mb-3"))>
  <header>
    <a href="{{ get_permalink() }}">{!! **$thumbnail**!!}</a>
	
	<h2 class="entry-title">
      <a href="{{ get_permalink() }}">
        {!! **$title** !!}
      </a>
    </h2>
    
  </header>

  <div class="entry-summary">
  {!! **$aziendaRuolo** !!}
  </div>
</article>

This is Speakers.php

namespace App\View\Composers;

use Roots\Acorn\View\Composer;

class Speaker extends Composer
{
    protected static $views = [
        'partials.archive-speakers',
	'partials.page-header-archive-speakers',
        'partials.content-speakers',
	'partials.content-single-speakers',
    ];

public function override()
    {
        return [
            'title' => $this->title(),
			...
			'thumbnail' => $this->thumbnail(),
			'linkedin' => $this->linkedin(),
			'aziendaRuolo' => $this->aziendaRuolo(),
			...
			
        ];
    }
public function title()
    {
	    if ($this->view->name() !== 'partials.page-header-archive-speakers') {
            return get_the_title();
        }

        if (is_archive()) {
            return "Gli speaker";
        }

        return get_the_title();
    }

public function thumbnail()
    {
		($featured_image = get_the_post_thumbnail(get_the_ID(), 'thumbnail', array( 'class' => 'img-fluid mb-4' ))) ? $featured_image : '<span class="placeholder"></span>';
		return $featured_image;
	}
	
	/**
     * Returns the role and company
     *
     * @return string
     */
	public function aziendaRuolo()
    {
		return $this->getRuolo() . ' ' . $this->getAzienda();
	}
	
	private function getRuolo()
	{
		return get_field('ruolo');
	}
	
	private function getAzienda()
	{
		return get_field('azienda');
	}

very simple.

For displaing speakers divided by letter in archive-speakers i have to override the Loop so i made this query (code ref: here)

archive-speakers.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
  @includeFirst(['partials.page-header-archive-' . get_post_type(), 'partials.page-header-archive'])

  @if (! have_posts())
    <x-alert type="warning">
      {!! __('Sorry, no results were found.', 'sage') !!}
    </x-alert>

    {!! get_search_form(false) !!}
  @endif
  
  @php($by_letter = array())
<?php 



function fill_by_letter_array( $by_letter ) {
  $keys = range('a', 'z');
  $values = array_fill(0, count($keys), array());
  $empty = array_combine($keys, $values);
  return wp_parse_args( $by_letter, $empty);
}
?>


  @while(have_posts()) @php(the_post())	
	  @php($letter = substr(get_the_title(), 0, 1))
	   @if( ! isset($by_letter[$letter]) ) 
		   @php($by_letter[$letter] = array())
		@endif
	   @php($by_letter[$letter][] = get_post(get_the_ID()))
    @endwhile
	@php(ksort($by_letter))
	@php(wp_reset_postdata())
  <div class="row">
	<p style="border-top: 1px solid #DCDADE;"></p>
	<div id="search-result" class="col-10" data-bs-spy="scroll" data-bs-target="#speaker-list" data-bs-offset="0" data-bs-smooth-scroll="true" tabindex="0">
    
	@foreach($by_letter as $letter => $posts)
	 <div>
	   <h5 class="ps-4 mb-3" style="text-transform: uppercase"><?php echo $letter; ?></h5>
	  @if(! empty($posts) )
      @foreach( $posts as $post )
           **@php(setup_postdata($post))**
         @includeFirst(['partials.content-' . get_post_type(), 'partials.content'], ['$post' => $post])
		@endforeach
	  @endif
      </div>
	  @endforeach
	</div>
   

  </div> 
 

  {!! get_the_posts_navigation() !!}
@endsection

@section('sidebar')
  @include('sections.sidebar')
@endsection

It’s seems to work but when i call setup_postdata($post) and Composer “title” or “thumbnail” function are called by content-speakers.blade.php it always print first title/thumbnail.
Basically it seems that the_post() from main loop doesn’t change.

I hope I have explained well even if I doubt :smiley:
