This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I am showing a View of Media posts. In that View, I would like to display the caption associated with the post.
Solution: Use this custom shortcode to access a Media post's caption:
add_shortcode( 'toolset_get_image_caption', 'toolset_get_image_caption_func');
function toolset_get_image_caption_func($atts)
{
global $wpdb;
$url = $atts['url'];
$id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare ("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE guid=%s ORDER BY `ID` DESC", $url ) );
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt($id);
if($excerpt)
return $excerpt;
$attachment_meta = get_post_meta( $id, '_wp_attachment_metadata', true );
if (isset($attachment_meta['image_meta']))
return $attachment_meta['image_meta']['caption'];
}
Add that code to your child theme's functions.php file. Then in a loop of Media posts, you can use the shortcode like this:
[toolset_get_image_caption url="[wpv-post-url]"]
