Reply To: Custom Fields in Gallery Array

Thanks. I had tried this before, but the problem is that I am creating a javascript array from the data. If I were to use what you intended I would need to be able to do the equivalent from JS rather than php. That’s why I thought it would be easier to put the data in the array rather than making multiple ajax requests.

Below is the function that is called via ajax. The function returns a json object that I then pull the values from and apply to a mustache template.

			function buildGallery(){
				$post_title = $_REQUEST['post_title'];
				if($post_title){
					$work = new WP_Query( array(
				        'post_type' => 'work',
				        'post_status' => 'publish',
				        'numberposts' => '-1',
				        'order' => 'asc',
				        'name' => $post_title 
				    	)
				    );
				    foreach ($work->posts as $work_post) {
			        	$post_id = $work_post->ID;
			    	}
				}else{
					//get the data from ajax() call
					$post_id = $_REQUEST['post_id'];
				}
				$gallery_item = array(
			        "gallery_item" => array()
			    );

				global $post;
				$post = get_post($post_id);

				$previous_post = get_previous_post();
				$next_post = get_next_post();
				array_push($gallery_item['gallery_item'], array(
		            "images" => get_field('gallery', $post_id),
		            "title" => get_the_title($post_id),
		            "content" => apply_filters( 'the_content', get_post_field('post_content', $post_id)),
		            "nextLink" => $next_post,
		            "prevLink" => $previous_post,
		            "id" => $post_id,
		            "postName" => $post->post_name,
		            "company" => get_field('company', $post_id),
		            "tags" => wp_get_post_tags($post_id)
		        ));
				// Return the String
				die(json_encode($gallery_item));
			}

The images are added here: “images” => get_field(‘gallery’, $post_id),

I am having a hard time getting my head around how to add the other field into that piece of the array.
