Tech Quick PHP question - GoFuckYourself.com

incredibleworkethic · 01-11-2017, 12:44 AM

$str .= '<div class="thumb-wrap"><a href="<?php the_field('url'); ?>">';

I know I'm a newb, but this line breaks my code.

Is there a way to call a field "URL" (advanced custom fields) within a string of PHP?

If I hardcode the URL instead of that line of PHP, I can achieve what I want but I'm pulling it from a post because each url is pulled from a custom field.

try

Code:

$str .= '<div class="thumb-wrap"><a href="'.the_field('url').'">';

Yeah - It's a quotes thing I'm sure - Need more coffee...

it's now giving me the blog posts url instead of the custom field's data

Thanks so much for the quick response.

This is me basically trying to link the featured image. Usually templates allow me to hardcode the featured image but this thing is deeply embedded.

PHP Code:


			
            $str .= '<div class="thumb-wrap"><a href="'.the_field('url').'">';

            if ( 'gallery' == get_post_format( $post->ID ) ) {

                $str .= tn_moduleSingleSlider( $post->ID, $options['style'] );

            } elseif ( function_exists( "has_post_thumbnail" ) && has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) {

                $featured_thumb = tn_get_theme_option( 'tn_single_post_featured_image' );

                switch ( $featured_thumb ) {

                    case  'full' :

                        $str .= get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'native-image-thumb' );

                        break;

                    case 'hide' :

                        $str .= '';

                        break;

                    default:

                        $str .= get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'blog_classic_thumb' );

                };

            }

            $str .= '</a></div>';

        };

url will just give the current page address - Try using myURL or something like that...

I'm using advanced custom fields, so they tell us to use the_field (calling the plugin's fields) and the field within the plugin called URL.

To simply my question, I've also added "url" as a custom field in the wordpress post. Any idea how to call on that within my original question?

Change URL in the custom field to myURL (or whatever) - Then use that...

Still only had 2 coffees so could be wrong

incredibleworkethic · 01-11-2017, 05:21 AM

OK thanks I'll give it a try

.

incredibleworkethic · 01-11-2017, 10:04 AM

Tried, still giving the same result.

Interesting problem for sure.

redwhiteandblue · 01-11-2017, 10:12 AM

Try echoing out the_field('url') to see what it produces. If it echoes out the url you want, the problem is elsewhere.

Barry-xlovecam · 01-11-2017, 10:40 AM

$url needs to be the location of a read of the data maybe. Then $data1 becomes the string or array of the data.

incredibleworkethic · 01-11-2017, 11:40 AM

Anyone want a few bucks to make this happen for me? I can't get it to work and I really like the theme lol.

Barry-xlovecam · 01-11-2017, 11:46 AM

PHP: file_get_contents - Manual

try this

file() - Reads entire file into an array
fgets() - Gets line from file pointer
fread() - Binary-safe file read
readfile() - Outputs a file
file_put_contents() - Write a string to a file
stream_get_contents() - Reads remainder of a stream into a string
stream_context_create() - Creates a stream context
$http_response_header

Thanks to each and everyone for their help.

Sarettah is more than kind and good karma should be hitting him often in his lifetime!

He identified an error on my end, even though everyone's ideas were legit.

Thanks again!

sarettah · 01-11-2017, 01:19 PM

Hey,

You r welcome but I should have been able to do that without having you send me the file. lol. I ran into something very similar a while back on something I was working on but forgot about it until I was looking at the file.

For the record in case anyone searches on this at some point:

The problem was that the wrong function was being used.

the_field() echoes the value in the field to the page.

get_field() pulls in the value.

So the change was changing the_field() to get_field() and it all worked as expected.
