Getting fields directly from DB

  • Hi, New to ACF and have made a field group called customer_additional_info with a text field called customer_display_name. This works on the taxonomy Customer that I have created, and the fields are displayed and data entered is saved.

    However, I have a shortcode that uses SQL to gather names and info about each Company and display it in a list. I am able to get all the standard info about the Company, but not the ADF fields.

    function gci_list_members()
    {
    $members_list=”;
    ob_start();
    global $wpdb;

    $members_list = $wpdb->get_results(
    “SELECT * FROM wp_term_taxonomy as tx, wp_terms as tr, wp_termmeta as tm
    WHERE tx.taxonomy = ‘companies’ AND
    tr.term_id = tx.term_id AND
    tm.term_id = tx.term_id AND
    tm.meta_key = ‘membership_type’ AND
    (tm.meta_value != ‘Draft’ AND tm.meta_value != ‘Inactive’) AND
    (tm.meta_value = ‘Adopter Company’ OR tm.meta_value = ‘FULL Member Company’ OR
    tm.meta_value = ‘Tools Member’)
    ORDER BY name ASC”);

    $terms = get_terms( array(
    ‘taxonomy’ => ‘companies’,
    ‘hide_empty’ => false
    ) );

    for ($k=0; $k < count($members_list); $k++)
    {
    // get the member ID
    $loop_member_id = $members_list[$k]->term_id;

    // get the company_display_name
    $company_display_name = get_field(‘company_display_name’);

    // get the member type
    $loop_member_type_value = $members_list[$k]->meta_value;

    } // end for loop

    I have removed the bulk of the HTLM in the php above, but basically, it loops through and displays the 30 companies but the $company_display_name ends up being blank.

    How do I find this value?

  • 
    $loop_member_id = $members_list[$k]->term_id;
    
    // get the company_display_name
    $company_display_name = get_field('company_display_name', 'term_'.$loop_member_id);
