<?php
/*
    Grab the top 5 locations with content tagged as "Featured"
    and "Child Care" then output them in an ordered list.
*/
$locations = get_posts(array(
    'post_type' => 'szbl-location',
    'posts_per_page' => 5,
    'orderby' => 'menu_order',
    'order' => 'asc',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'szbl-content-tag',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array( 'featured', 'child-care' )
        )    
    )
));

if ( count( $locations ) > 0 ) :
    // save the current global post
    $org_post = $GLOBALS['post'];
?>

    <ol>
        <?php foreach ( $locations as $location ) : ?>
        <?php
            $GLOBALS['post'] = $location;
            setup_postdata( $location );
        ?>
        <li id="szbl-location-<?php echo get_the_ID(); ?>">
            <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
            <?php the_content(); ?>
        </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ol>
    
<?php
    // reset global post query
    $GLOBALS['post'] = $org_post;
    setup_postdata( $org_post );
endif;
