In my template I can get my email field to print out just fine. However, I can’t figure out how to get it to print with an link. Help?
My code:
echo '<td>';
echo '<i class="fa fa-envelope"></i>' . ' ';
echo the_field('contact_email');
echo '<br />';
echo '</td>';
Try this:
<?php $email = get_field('contact_email'); ?>
<td>
<i class="fa fa-envelope"></i>
<a href="mailto:<?php echo $email; ?>" rel="nofollow" title="Email me"><?php echo $email; ?></a><br />
</td>
🙂
Thanks, Ben! Unfortunately that didn’t work either. I tried merging your code and mine and the page wouldn’t load. Hmmm…!
Tell me more, where is the email field located within your dashboard on a page? Or on a options page? Are you trying to get the field from the page where the field is located?
Post more of your code. I will take a look at it and see if I can sort it out. 🙂
This code is going on a members listing page which is calling in information frm individual member pages. Here’s the only unique code on my members_directory.php file.
<?php
$posts = get_posts(array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'library',
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'asc',
));
if($posts)
{
foreach($posts as $post)
{
echo '<table class="members">';
echo '<thead>';
echo '</thead>';
echo '<tbody>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td colspan="3">';
echo '<h2><a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '">' . get_the_title($post->ID) . '</a></h2>';
echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td colspan="3">';
echo '<strong>Parent Organization:</strong>' . ' ';
echo the_field('parent_organization');
echo '<br />';
echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '<td colspan="3">';
echo '<strong>Address:</strong>' . ' ';
echo the_field('address');
echo '<br />';
echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>';
echo '<strong>Contact:</strong>' . ' ';
echo the_field('contact_name');
echo '<br />';
echo '</td>';
echo '<td colspan="1">';
echo '<i class="fa fa-phone"></i>' . ' ';
echo the_field('contact_phone');
echo '<br />';
echo '</td>';
echo '<td colspan="1">';
echo '<i class="fa fa-envelope"></i>' . ' ';
echo the_field('contact_email');
echo '<br />';
echo '</td>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '</tbody>';
echo '</table>';
}
}
?>
Was that last reply supposed to be marked private? :-0
Oops, I thought that meant it was private to just you!
Try changing
echo the_field('contact_email');
to
printf('<a href="mailto:%s" title="Email Me" rel="nofollow">%1$s</a>', get_field("contact_email"));
You are awesome, sir! I really appreciate it. This was driving me up the wall.
Glad it worked. 🙂
This plugin is awesome and has changed my life. So I figure I should give back where I can be of assistance. 🙂
How are you using it? I installed it to create members pages.
I use it to create fields for the easy adding/editing of content all over a website.
I have really only used a few of the field types (text, image, url, text area, wysiwyg and the repeater field)
I used to make a lot of widget based themes before I found ACF. 😛
