Hello, I am using custom fields in both my list.php and singl.php. I am using the “get custom fields” action and noticed it wraps the code around a column . I would like to have control over this so that it would fit in where I need it to.
See what I mean here: http://new.escoladabiblia.com/cursos/ – The “Dias:” info does not fit in well.
Hi Joshua,
If you’re using the tribe_the_custom_fields() function, it will wrap things in extra markup. Use tribe_get_custom_fields() instead.
Does that help?
Hey Jonah,
I’m not that good with PHP but I’m trying. Please check out the code I’m ussing. For some reason its showing up as “array”. Not sure what this is. I would like only the value of the custom filed to appear here. The label was entered manually.
Here is the code: http://awesomescreenshot.com/010166lkecHey, figured out how to show my custom field – I just had to add a label in between the parenthesis. I would like to know if there is anyway to customize the display of the custom field’s value. For example, I am using a checkbox custom field that is currently showing as “value1|value2”. How can I get this to show up like this: “value1 and value2” when there are multiple checkboxes selected?
Hi Joshua,
There are some limitations with this. It might help to know more about what you’re trying to accomplish so I can provide some suggestions.
Hey Jonah, I created a custom field (checkbox style) where the label is “days” and the values are the weekdays (mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat, sun). So, if an event is on Tuesdays and Wednesday, I can create an event and select tue adn wed. I would like the custom field to show up as “tue and wed” instead of its currently display “tue|wed”. Do I have to add some code to the php get_custom_fields?
Hi Joshua,
Ok, that helps. What I would suggest is to not use our plugin for custom fields and use this one instead: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ – much better handling of data and much easier to get to it. So, if you were to setup a checkbox field, then just check out the documentation for how to get to that data: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/checkbox/
Does that help?
Hey Jonah. That probably would do the trick, however I would like to keep everything with The Event Calendar Pro. If there is no way to change the character separating each value, I would rather create a new text custom field and just write out “value 1 and value 2” for each event. Makes sense?
Hi Joshua,
It’s still possible to use ECP in this way for your custom fields but you’ll need to split values with PHP and it starts to get messy. For example, you could use the explode() function to help you with this: http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php – that’s not ideal though. It’d be better to use the plugin I suggested above or find another solution.
