Hi I am really new to php so sorry for the ignorance.
I have set up a page link field which I can get to echo out the page link in html text by using the following.
if(get_field('linkedto')){
$field_name = "linkedto";
$field = get_field_object($field_name);
echo '<strong>', $field['label'],'</strong>' . ': ' . $field['value'],'</br>';}
What I am struggling with is making the thing output a link with the post title as the link name and the whole thing it a link to the post in question.
Hope someone can help a newbie out on this please. I am using genesis and for some reason I have to echo everything out – don’t ask why but so far I have a nice list of fields in HTML but just struggling to work out the page link thing.
Hey, try this:
$id = get_field('linkedto');
if ($id) {
echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($id) . '">';
echo get_the_title($id);
echo '</a>';
}
Hi Philipp thank you for that, it certainly doesn’t break anything but all it returns when I look in firedbug is
No link inside…hmm
Thank you though
Anyone else got any ideas?
If it helps anyone the code kindly offered above out puts
The Page Link field only returns a URL, so the title isn’t returned. Change your field type to Post Object and it’ll work.
