Hi All,
I want to combine AVC with a membership site in this capacity:
Paying members each get assigned a custom URL, something like this:
mydomain.com/freevideo?member=456
The “freevideo” page is a single page based upon a custom page template.
This page template would then be using an AVC field set.
One field in the field set would be “video embed code”.
The Challenge is this:
I want the individual members to be able to enter their own video embed code so that it can be used displayed on the freevideo page when it is accessed with their specific member id.
They need to be able to do this:
1) without seeing anyone else’s info
2) preferably from the frontend (but they would be logged in)
I am new to AVC and from what I have understood so far, I can’t see a way to do either of these.
Am I missing something?
Hi @membermaster
Just to clarify, this plugin is called “ACF”, now to your question:
Yes, this is possible.
You can create a field group containing a textarea field and attach this to each user. You can use the built in user/member functionality of WP by allowing anyone to register on the site.
Then, you need to create a page template which takes the member $_GET variable, and uses that to load the ACF field value from the DB.
In the docs, there are some code examples on how to load data from a user.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

Hi Elliot,
Oops! My bad LOL – Yes, I meant ACF
Thank you! Dang ACF is amazing.
I’m looking forward to the Pro version 5
