Using Post ID in permalink

  I have a repeater field type “Post Object”, returning the Post ID.
  Now, on a custom post type page, I want to insert a link to the post selected in the repeater field.

  I can’t get it to work. I’m trying the following (and I’ve tried a lot of variations!)

  <?php $postid = the_sub_field('post_id') ?>						
  <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $postid ); ?>">Link to post</a>

  Any suggestions? Thanks!

  Use get_sub_field() instead of the_sub_field().

  the_sub_field() echos the value instead of returning it.

  
  <?php $postid = get_sub_field('post_id') ?>						
  <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $postid ); ?>">Link to post</a>

  Thanks John! That did it.
