Hi Everyone,

I hope someone can help me. I’m trying to call a Custom Field into a fuction using the below process. But its not calling the image in.

Can anyone point me in the direction / show me what i’m doing wrong:

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

function sc_liste1($atts, $content = null) {
        global $post;
        $myposts = get_posts('post_type=map-location&numberposts=10&order=ASC&location-tag=graduates');

        foreach($myposts as $post) :
                setup_postdata($post);
		$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' );
             $retour.='<a href="'.get_permalink().'" class="graduatelinkbutton"><img src="'.the_field('featured_image_for_mobile').'"><span class="gradcontent"><strong>'.the_title("","",false).'</strong><br>'.get_the_excerpt().'</span></a>';
        endforeach;

        return $retour;
}
add_shortcode("graduateslist", "sc_liste1");

I’m sure that the problem is in the part with ‘the_field(‘featured_image_for_mobile’)’

I have tried to make it only say featured_image_for_mobile, but it just displays a blank square.

Thanks in advance

Chris

Where you have the_field('featured_image_for_mobile') try changing it to the_field('featured_image_for_mobile', $post->ID).

Unfortunately that didn’t work. All it ends up doing is displaying the full URL of the image instead of the image itself.

I decided not to worry about making it a shortcode. I have instead just made a template using the <?php method instead which seems to work perfectly 🙂

Thanks for your help though Hube2 🙂
