Hi I’m use the_field(‘field_name’) to return the ‘Video URL’ which I’ve set the field to, is it possible to use the_field(‘field_name’) to also return the ‘Thumbnail URL’ for the same field.

Cheers

Hi @vindicateme, At the moment I’m trying it with this extension the video field https://github.com/findingsimple/acf-field-video.

But I was also thinking this about the images field, if it’s selected to return the Image Object but some reason I needed to get hold of say Image URL or Image ID is there a simple work around.

Cheers,

if you’ve set the return value to return an array or object, you can access those values like so:

$video = get_field('video');
$video_url = $video['url'];
$video_thumbnail_url = $video['thumbnail'];

$image = get_field('image');
$image_url = $image['url'];
$image = $image['id'];

You can always view the entire object/array by using var_dump($image);
