Pulling a variable into a link

[Darren]

I’m not sure whats happened here as it was working but not now. I have made a child of single.php so I can add a link to a contact form that drops a ref code into the subject field but its broken and I cannot see why.

I have

<a href="http://highamhall.com/contact?1subject=Enquiry+regarding+course+”>Make an enquiry about this course.

Any php/tribe wizzards able to spot what’s gone wrong.

It may be helpful to see the error on a live page – just under the facebook logo you can see Ref C1646 Make an enquiry. The Ref C1646 shouldn’t be part of the visible link.

Hey Darren. Sorry about the inconvenience; if using the tag isn't working, would you mind dropping the code into pastie.org (or a related service) and sharing the link with us here? We can definitely take a look and try to help you out from there.

[Darren]

Thanks Rob at least I can now get the code seen 🙂

To make this thread less confused I shall explain my problem again.

I’m not sure whats happened here as it was working but not now. It coudl be an update as custom field now seems to pull css markup where previously it was only the actual variable in the custom field.

I have made a child of single.php so I can add a link to a contact form that drops a ref code (custom field) into a subject field of a contact form but its broken and I cannot see why.

The code is posted here http://pastie.org/3534943

The page with the error – http://www.highamhall.com/course/westmorland-quilt/ – just under the facebook logo you can see ‘Ref C1646 Make an enquiry’. The Ref C1646 shouldn’t be part of the visible link it should be passed to through the link to the contact form.

Any ideas what’s happened to break it?

Thanks

Thanks Darren! I’ve asked Jonah from our dev team to take a look here today and respond accordingly. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience thus far.

Hi Darren,

Using tribe_the_custom_fields() is probably not working for you because this returns a definition list or all custom fields for an event. I think what you want to use is: echo tribe_get_custom_field(‘Label’, $post->ID) or tribe_custom_field(‘Label’, $post->ID) – where “Label” is the label of your custom field.

Let me know whether or not that works.

Hi Jonah

Tried both of those examples and they show the link correctly but doesnt grab the custom field. I’ve set the custom field label to Ref as it is in Additional Fields on the settings page – is that correct?

[Darren]

Its not showing as a fault any more but the new code isn’t pulling any variable from the custom field. I’ve searched the mySQL db but cant see where it may be so I can only assume I’m using the correct name as I’ve set up in the calendar settings page.

Any suggestions?
