Problem: I have a custom text field that is used to store the name of a country. I would like to display the flag of that country on the front-end of the site, instead of the text name of the country.

Solution: You can construct an image HTML tag using the Types field shortcode as a variable. For example, you can upload images like "Tanzania.jpg" and "Rwanda.jpg" to your server, then build the image tag like this:

<img src="/wp-content/uploads/flags/[types field='country' output='raw'][/types].jpg" alt="[types field='country' output='raw'][/types]" />

It only works if the country names and image file names are identical. If possible, you should use a select field with predefined country names.

Problem:
How to display repeating field with Types shortcode

Solution:
You can use "separator" with types shortcode to display repeating field.

For example:

<ul class="list-award">
  <li>[types field='awards' separator='</li><li>'][/types]</li>
</ul>

Problem:

Set default for value for search field.

Solution:

When you are adding the fields to your views search you should have the option to set the default values.
