Pulling a variable into a link

[Jonah]

Hi Darren, make sure if you’re using tribe_get_custom_field(‘Label’, $post->ID) that you are echoing because it doesn’t return anything by default – you need to use echo tribe_get_custom_field(‘Label’, $post->ID)

Also, does the event you’re looking at have something input for the custom field?

And, make sure you replace “Label” with the label of your custom field. Do you have an example of the code you’re working with you can post to http://pastie.org/pastes/new

It all looks correct. I’ve added 3 versions of the code, the two earlier ones you suggested and the one that worked previously but now breaks the link it does however pull the actual variable I want but along with some markup.

Heres the code http://pastie.org/3554548

And the page you can see it working on http://www.highamhall.com/course/after-matisse-and-cezanne-pastel-into-still-life/ At the top of event entry you can see the ‘Ref A1649’- its that I want to pass through the link.

Hi Darren, you definitely want to use the first function ( echo tribe_get_custom_field(‘Ref’, $post->ID) ) in the examples you provided. Make sure the single quotes around the label are proper in the code. I needed to change them on my end after copying your code (sometimes these can get messed up copying plain text code from websites). It works fine for me.

Hi Jonah

It was the quote marks – I never thought to look if they were different. Simple when you know how 🙂

Thanks for your help
