Hi,
I have a URL Field in ACF with the name of citation_pdf_url. This contains the PDF link to the document of each post and I need to display a button in the post to Download PDF and fetch the URL from citation_pdf_url. I am using tagDiv Composer of Newspaper 11 theme. However, I am not able to get the output of the button using the ACF field.
I have used this HTML Code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the document</title>
<style>
.button {
background-color: #1c87c9;
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 20px 34px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 20px;
margin: 4px 2px;
cursor: pointer;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Click Here
</body>
</html>
But the output is not downloading the file, as this href code is not printing the acf value.
I also tried these values in ahref field:
[acf field="citation_pdf_url"]
get_field(citation_pdf_url)
$the_field=”citation_pdf_url
$get_field(citation_pdf_url)
<?php the_field(‘citation_pdf_url’); ?>
But not working.
Please help me. How can i use acf value in Raw HTML as that is the only option to create and display a button.
<body>
Click Here [ I am intentionally using this, the editor is linking it as Click here]
</body>
An ACF file field has these return types: File Array (array), File URL (string), or File ID (integer).
ACF will not automatically output a link to the file. You must create this yourself. For example if the return type is URL then
$url = get_field('citation_pdf_url');
?><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>">Click Here</a><?php
