Hi John
Thanks for all the info, i ended up creating a shortcode the Ess. Grid and Rev Slider plugins.
function getdatefromacf_shortcode( $atts ) {
// Attributes
extract($atts = shortcode_atts(
array(
'postid' => '',
'metaid' => 'date_from'
),
$atts
));
return get_field($metaid, $postid);
}
add_shortcode( 'getdatefromacf', 'getdatefromacf_shortcode' );
This in Ess. Grid
[getdatefromacf metaid='date_from' postid=%post_id%]
and this in Rev SLider
[getdatefromacf metaid='date_from' postid={{id}}]
