Hi,

I made a page template, inside the page template is a slider

<?php if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy' ) ) { soliloquy( '470' ); } ?>

Instead off 470 I want the fill this field dynamicly with a Custom Field:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[types field="id-slider"]'); ?>

How can I mix these two together?

Hi Robert

Types custom fields are just WordPress post meta, so can be retrieved using standard functions like get_post_meta (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/).

You just need to be aware that the keys are prefixed with 'wpcf-'.

So you could combine the above like so:

$slide_id = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-id-slider', true );
if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy' ) ) { soliloquy( $slide_id ); }
