Hello,
I would like to ask you for advice if there is way to wrap a custom field into a php shortcode and put it on a separate php file to be pulled from there.
Please refer to the attached images for better understanding of my situation there.
I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Best regards.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - what is the reason you want to wrap the custom field using shortcode and featch it using the PHP API?

Types support PHP API function types_render_field() using which you can fetch the post custom field.

Hello, thanks for fast answer.
Yes, I want to integrate Toolset custom field to be displayed into another Plugin ( which is the slider from this page - hidden link ) .

So for example I need to try and insert this type of code into the plugin's php file ?

<?php echo(types_render_field( 'media-source', array( 'arg1' => 'val1', 'arg2' => 'val2' ) )); ?>

Please advice me if I am correct here. Thank you.
