Displaying ACF Field in a URL?

  • Hello,

    Hoping someone is able to help.
    I have some PHP embed code (see below) which I need to customize depending on page.
    Therefore I’ve created a ACF text field and associated this to the page/post type I require.

    I’ve managed to post content using ACF before but cannot figure out how to add text to a URL field.

    Example: My field name is “elite_prospects_id” and I need to place this at the end of the URL.

    <?
    
    $rss = new SimpleXMLElement('http://eliteprospects.com/rss_player_stats2.php?player=$_elite_prospects_id’, null, true);
    
    foreach($rss->xpath('channel/item') as $item)
    
    {
    
      echo  utf8_decode($item->description);
    
    }
    
    ?>

    Would appreciate any help!
    🙂

  • If the above code is inside a post loop then something like

    
    $rss = new SimpleXMLElement('http://eliteprospects.com/rss_player_stats2.php?player='.get_field('_elite_prospects_id'), null, true);
    

    If it’s not in a loop then you’ll need to supply the post_id the get_field() call.

  • Thank you John! 🙂 This was perfect and exactly what I needed!
