The multi-select field you referenced appears to be stored in PHP serialized format, which is used for “storing or passing PHP values around without losing their type and structure”. To unserialize a custom field value you need to use the unserialize() function: $multi_select_field = unserialize( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘custom_field_key’, true ) );
there is no third parameter for get_field, may be causing your error. EDIT- In your current code, if the 10 most recent posts don’t contain a post with your meta key, you’ll see nothing since you’re only getting 10 posts and then filtering them. Any query that doesn’t specify number of posts defaults to your … Read more
Just so you know, and after much code sniffing, I finally have a working solution : First, the custom field may start with wpcf- (for example: wpcf-custom-field). This prefix may be ignored and only the remaining characters kept. As in $customField = substr($fieldName, 5); // $fieldName=”wpcf-custom-field”; Now, the custom field data may be fetch via … Read more
As @Vincius mentioned above, I don’t think anyone has created a full-blown calendar with ACF and ACF alone. But – that doesn’t mean you can’t plug into other Event Calendars (or –> attach the ACF data onto their Events post type). For example: Sugar Event Calendar It has a filter hooks (look on that page, … Read more
Thanks for your help s_ha_dum, I had a look at the table structure using phpMyAdmin, ACF Plugin saves fields to the postmeta table, so sb_wpsc_meta needed to be changed to sb_postmeta. also needed to change what was being SELECT to post_id aswell as the meta_value to 1. final query; “SELECT post_id FROM sb_postmeta WHERE `meta_key` … Read more
Whenever in doubt, consult the documentation and nice plugins like ACF are very well documented. It depends on how you set the image field, but from this page Field Types -> Image, looks like you set you field to return an object. Instead of using the_field, which prints the value, you need get_field: $category_image = … Read more
see documentation for get_field. change: $attachment_id = get_field(‘image’); to pass the post ID as second argument: $attachment_id = get_field(‘image’, 299); or: $attachment_id = get_field(‘image’, $my_id);
Got it working! Here’s what solved my problem: <?php $publisher_photo = get_the_author_meta(‘user_photo’); $image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src($publisher_photo); echo ‘<img class=”publisher-picture” src=”‘. $image_src[0] .'” />’; ?>
You’ll have to look in the database to see how ACF stores the checkbox values. As far as I know, they’re not saved as flat meta values under a single key, which makes it not possible to efficiently query on that data. The queries you have now aren’t going to work, you’re just loading a … Read more
You will want to register custom post types for each of the sections (books, articles, etc). Your post types should be registered as a custom plugin so that they can be kept in the case you decide to switch your theme. Custom post types: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types WordPress plugin API: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API The advanced search is a bit … Read more
