Beautiful UI.

Unfortunately whatever is plaguing my dev setup for the get_field functions – http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/cpt-loop-not-returning-get_field-but-does-get_post_meta/ – is also prohibiding the CodePress Admin Columns plugin from identifying my custom fields for selection.

But I will find a solution for that and then can see these both working very well together.

1. header.php, page-templates/front-page.php and archive-{post-type}.php all exhibit the same behaviour. As well as within a plugin function call.
2. 64 is a published post.

With all plugins except ACF deactivated I’ve also tried a very simple ACF field group attached to the standard post and get similar results when placing the get_field call in header.php.

Will create a fresh site shortly and follow-up if that does provide any difference in output.

The haystack gets a little smaller ;P

Either inside a loop or outside I run that snippet and get “bool(false)” as result with the admin bar and rest of page below where I put the snippet not displaying. If I remove the die; I get rest of page but same result.

All results from postid = 64 from postmeta table are screenshot to http://imgur.com/vKiw951 – It does not have a reference value in the table though the rest of the meta fields useful data is present.

Even doing the following direct call to a post ID that I know has data in my page template doesn’t work.

<?php echo get_field(‘highlight_call_to_action’, 64); ?>

Might it be related to the fact I’m using it assigned to a custom post type?

$post->ID does return value in the previous code yes. I tried with and without $post->ID appended to get_field call.

This page has a good summation of why I was using a separate WP_Query class object – http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/03/5-wordpress-queryposts-tips/

Using a get_posts approach did not change the result but included for future reference anyone else – based closely off the example on get_posts template tag codex page.

$args = array( 	'post_type' => 'highlight', 
	'posts_per_page'=> $count, 
);

$highlights = get_posts( $args );
		
if (count($highlights)) {
			
	$output = "<div id='highlights'><ul>";
			
	foreach ( $highlights as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );

		$output .= "<li>";
$output .= get_field('highlight_call_to_action', $post->ID) . "<br/>";
$output .= get_field('highlight_call_to_action') . "<br/>";
$output .= get_post_meta($post->ID, "highlight_call_to_action", true) . "<br/>";
			
		$output .= "</li>";
			
	endforeach; 
			
	$output .= "</ul>";	

	wp_reset_postdata();
			
}

In either loop format case using get_field_object with / without the preceeding _ returns a blank shell response. Whether $post->ID is appended or not. Glad to have a temporary working solution, but would obviously prefer to make use of the ACF output fields as I get into more advanced uses with it.
