Call Custom Field inside shortcode or php within the template
-
Hi
I am using the Simple WP Shopping Cart
They offer short code and php options for inserting a button which is:
<?php echo print_wp_cart_button_for_product(’PRODUCT-NAME’, PRODUCT-PRICE); ?>or
[wp_cart:PRODUCT-NAME:price:PRODUCT-PRICE:end]As you can see for each button you need to set the name and price.
I have made a custom post type with custom fields using ACF plugin (advanced custom fields plugin)
I have successfully called some of those custom fields into my template but I would like to insert the “price” custom field and the “post title” into the shortcode (or php) of the shop button.
for example
echo '<h2>';the_title();echo '</h2>'; echo the_field('price'); echo '<img src="';the_field('image');echo '">'; echo print_wp_cart_button_for_product(‘echo the_title();’, echo the_field('price'); ); the_excerpt();I have tried several variations but it either doesnt do anything or it breaks the page.
I am calling the custom post type in groups of 3 as well, in line with the layout I want to achieve so the full code to pull the posts is
<?php // Show a selected number of posts per row $posts_per_row = 3; $posts_per_page = 9; $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page, 'paged' => $paged, 'post_type' => product, ); query_posts($args); if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()) { the_post(); if ((++$post_counter % $posts_per_row) == 1 || $posts_per_row == 1) { if ($post_counter > 1) { echo "</div><!-- End of post_row -->\n"; // End previous row } echo "<div class='post_row'>\n"; // Start a new row } echo "<div class='grid_4'>\n"; // Start one post // Output post data here echo '<h2>';the_title();echo '</h2>'; echo the_field('price'); echo '<img src="';the_field('image');echo '">'; echo print_wp_cart_button_for_product(‘wordpress’, 7.50); the_excerpt(); echo "</div><!-- End of post_class -->\n"; // End of post } ?> </div><!-- End of post_row --> <div class='clear'></div> <div> <div><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div> <div><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div> </div> <?php } else { // Code for no posts found } ?>If that helps any further.
Hopefully I have explained clearly enough that someone might know what I want to do, even if you dont know how to solve it but you know what terms I should be googling for etc please let me know.
Thanks in advance
