    Hi Eliot,
    I just tested the update and works really well 😉 Thanks a-lot for support on this issue.

    If you accept donations for the plugin I will charge it on my project costs. I will play with the plugin after this project too, and I hope to come back to you with suggestions to help you to push forward its development.

    Thanks again, Fabio.

    Hi Eliot,
    thanks a-lot for effort you put in this issue. I just updated the plugin and tried the following:

    [loop type=playlist]
       [field title]
       [related video_spots]
           [field title]                   => prints "my test video 5"
           [field file_upload]             => prints ID, 5
           [attached field=file_upload]
                [field title]              => prints "my test video 5"
           [/attached]
        [/related]
    [/loop]

    As you can read even inside the [attachment] node I’m still getting as return value the title of the video instead of the attachment title.

    I’m wondering if the issue could be related to the “nesting”, I mean too many nesting levels: [loop] then [related] then [attachment] then data you want to print.

    Hi, unfortunately I could not make it working even setting the “file_upload” field to type array data.

    I show you what I tried:

    1. case having the file_upload field returning an array data

    [loop type=playlist]                 => works
       [field title]                     => prints playlist title
       [related video_spots]             => works
           [field title]                 => prints spot title
           [field file_upload]           => prints attachment post ID
           [array file_upload]           => works? not sure...
                    [field title]        => not printing
           [/array]
        [/related]
    [/loop]

    2. case having the file_upload field returning an ID

    [loop type=playlist]                 => works
       [field title]                     => prints playlist title
       [related video_spots]             => works
           [field title]                 => prints spot title
           [field file_upload]           => prints attachment post ID
           [pass field=file_upload]      => works? not sure...
              [field id='{FIELD}' title] => prints again spot title
           [/pass]
        [/related]
    [/loop]

    Ok, thanks.

    I have tried the use of [array] shortcode as described by the documentation before, but maybe I forgot to change the “file_upload” field to ARRAY TYPE.

    I will try again in the afternoon and I will come back 😉

    Thanks a-lot, really appreciated.

    … And to answer your question

    [field title] that should display the title of that post, and instead it’s displaying the title of the [related] post?

    Yes, it’s what I get.

    Hi,

    thanks a-lot for support. Let me say for first that your shortcodes are the most powerful I found on plugins directory. So even if we cannot find a way to solve my issue, I’m really happy to use your plugin.

    The idea is easy: users can create their playlist with videos they upload on the web site.

    So I have a post type named “Play list”, each playlist can have many “Videos” (other post type). Each video has custom field (ACF) named “file_upload”.

    What I need to do is:

    – loop all playlists (that’s easy)
    – loop all related VIDEOs (ACF custom post relation)
    – print on page the URL of the Video (that is a file upload in media library)

    I do everything well the first two loops, but when I try to get the Video URL reading the Video field “file_upload” (ACF File Upload) the value returned is an ID instead (actually it is the ID of the post record of the uploaded file in media library)

    [loop ...]
      [related ...]
        ??? how to access uploaded video FULL URL having the post ID?

    Thanks a-lot again!
