Hi Matthew
Thanks for your response , I am using meta box plugin to try and display info on front end.
I downloaded the demo.php as described here https://metabox.io/docs/getting-started/
See code below for the custom fields file
<?php
/**
* Registering meta boxes
*
* All the definitions of meta boxes are listed below with comments.
* Please read them CAREFULLY.
*
* You also should read the changelog to know what has been changed before updating.
*
* For more information, please visit:
* @link http://metabox.io/docs/registering-meta-boxes/
*/
add_filter( ‘rwmb_meta_boxes’, ‘th_register_meta_boxes’ );
/**
* Register meta boxes
*
* Remember to change “your_prefix” to actual prefix in your project
*
* @param array $meta_boxes List of meta boxes
*
* @return array
*/
function thambo_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes )
{
/**
* prefix of meta keys (optional)
* Use underscore (_) at the beginning to make keys hidden
* Alt.: You also can make prefix empty to disable it
*/
// Better has an underscore as last sign
$prefix = ”;
// 1st meta box
$meta_boxes[] = array(
// Meta box id, UNIQUE per meta box. Optional since 4.1.5
‘id’ => ‘standard’,
// Meta box title – Will appear at the drag and drop handle bar. Required.
‘title’ => __( ‘Project Details’, ‘your-prefix’ ),
// Post types, accept custom post types as well – DEFAULT is ‘post’. Can be array (multiple post types) or string (1 post type). Optional.
‘post_types’ => array( ‘post’ ),
// Where the meta box appear: normal (default), advanced, side. Optional.
‘context’ => ‘normal’,
// Order of meta box: high (default), low. Optional.
‘priority’ => ‘high’,
// Auto save: true, false (default). Optional.
‘autosave’ => true,
// List of meta fields
‘fields’ => array(
// Youtube Video ID // OEMBED
array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Youtube Video ID’, ‘thambo_’ ),
‘id’ => “th_yt”,
‘desc’ => __( ‘Youtube Video ID’, ‘thambo_’ ),
‘type’ => ‘oembed’,
),
// Flickr Album ID
array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Flickr Album ID’, ‘thambo_’ ),
‘id’ => “th_fr”,
‘desc’ => __( ‘Flickr Album ID’, ‘thambo_’ ),
‘type’ => ‘oembed’,
),
)
);
return $meta_boxes;
}
The above code shows 2 custom fields on the post page. With the youtube one I can get the video to show up on the post. With flickr I am having problems.
The below code is supposed to show on the loop-single page.
<article id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h2 class=”post-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class=”entry clearfix”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<div class=”multimedia”>
<h3>Multimedia Content</h3>
<p class=”multimedia-content”>
<?php global $post;
$video = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘th_youtube’, true );
echo $embed_code = wp_oembed_get( $video ); ?>
</p>
<p class=”flikr_album”>
Flicker Album // Flickr album will display here
</p>
</div>
</div>
</article>
The above code is on the single post level, its supposed showing the content , youtube video and flickr.
