I have attached some ACFs to the categories of a custom post type. Now I need to fetch the data from those fields, but am unable to do so. I have also tried the method suggested on http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/how-to-get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/ but not working.
The code I am using is:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
	$category_name = single_cat_title('', false);

	$queried_object = get_queried_object();
	$taxonomy = $queried_object->taxonomy;
	$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;

        // Get field value
	the_field('field_name', $taxonomy.'_'.$term_id);
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I am creating a custom template for categories.php and need custom data to be displayed on the category page.
