Display Field Value

the_cf( 'movie_synopsis' )[cf name="movie_synopsis"]

The next-generation Russian submarine Sevastopol employs an advanced AI for testing a new navigation system that uses dead reckoning. The AI tricks the crew into firing a torpedo and then turns the torpedo back on the submarine, sinking it and killing all aboard.

IMF agent Ethan Hunt travels to the Empty Quarter of the Arabian Desert to retrieve half of a cruciform key from disavowed ex-MI6 agent Ilsa Faust, on whom the IMF has placed a bounty. He then infiltrates a meeting of leaders of the U.S. Intelligence Community in Washington, D.C., including CIA Director Eugene Kittridge and Director of National Intelligence Denlinger, to discuss the rogue AI. Calling it the Entity, they recount how it has achieved sentience and infiltrated the major defense, intelligence, and financial networks of the world. World powers compete to obtain the key to protect their national security and control the Entity, though the exact means of controlling it are unknown. Believing the Entity poses too great a threat to humanity, Ethan seeks to destroy it.

He and his teammates Benji Dunn and Luther Stickell travel to Abu Dhabi International Airport to intercept the holder of the other half-key. Ethan evades US agents as well as Gabriel, an Entity liaison and terrorist with ties to Ethan's pre-IMF past, while the half-key is stolen by a professional thief named Grace. Luther identifies a suspicious piece of baggage; Benji finds what appears to be a nuclear explosive, but finds it empty after narrowly defusing it. Ethan pursues Grace to Rome. After a lengthy chase, Grace escapes again, while Ethan reunites with Benji, Luther, and Ilsa. Ilsa informs him that she is involved in this because a group of MI6 agents, her former colleagues, determined that they must prevent the key from falling into British Government hands since their government seeks to control it rather than destroy it.

With Benji and Luther providing support, Ethan and Ilsa infiltrate a party held by the arms dealer Alanna Mitsopolis in Venice, hoping to find who hired Grace and learn of the key's purpose. Grace encounters Gabriel and learns that Alanna hired her to steal the half-key. Ethan unsuccessfully attempts to dissuade a fearful Alanna from selling it. Gabriel reveals that the Entity has infiltrated the party and determined that one of Ethan's allies, either Ilsa or Grace, will die. They all scatter afterward, with Ethan subduing but sparing Gabriel's subordinate, Paris, while Gabriel subdues Grace and seemingly kills Ilsa, devastating Ethan. A remorseful Grace commits to joining the IMF and agrees to impersonate Alanna as they prepare to board the Innsbruck-bound Orient Express, where she will meet with her buyer. Luther leaves for an off-grid location to investigate isolated traces of the Entity in his hard drive, warning Ethan not to kill Gabriel out of vengeance, as only Gabriel knows how to use the key.

On the train, Gabriel kills the engine crew and destroys the throttle and brake. He meets Denlinger, who proposes an alliance between himself and the Entity. Denlinger explains that the Entity was originally an advanced cyber weapon developed by the United States that "overperformed" when it infiltrated the Sevastopol and subsequently went rogue. He reveals that the complete key unlocks the chamber housing the computer of the Sevastopol, which contains the early version of the Entity that can be used to control or destroy it, once and for all. Gabriel kills Denlinger and, suspecting Paris will betray him after Ethan spared her in Venice, attempts to kill her as well. Impersonating Alanna, Grace brings the complete key to Alanna's buyer, revealed to be Kittridge. Though tempted to betray Ethan for $100 million and protection for herself, Grace decides against it, pickpockets the key from Kittridge and flees. Ethan parachutes off a cliff onto the train to save Grace from her pursuers, but Gabriel acquires the key.

Ethan overpowers Gabriel atop the train, but the latter escapes and detonates a bridge ahead. Grace and Ethan detach the locomotive from the rest of the train, which trips a fail safe which saves the passengers. A revived Paris rescues them from falling off the bridge and reveals the key's connection to the Sevastopol. Grace informs Kittridge of her new commitment to the IMF, which he accepts while Ethan flees the train with the complete key, which he had pickpocketed from Gabriel during their skirmish.

Display Field Value

Repeater fields can hold any number and combination of sub-fields, so, it will require custom coding to display it's values in a way that meets your project's specific requirements.

Please find an example of how the above repeater fields for Casts, Scenes and Reviews are being displayed for the Mission Impossible movie in the demo Movie DB.

Since we have a 'movie_scene_casts' relationship sub-field in the Scenes repeater field inside the Movies post type, we can do a cf_get_related_from() query from the Casts post type to get the movies, and later, the scenes in which a cast is involved.

You can for example see this for the Tom Cruise in the demo Movie DB. Tom was the main cast in all the movies, so he appeared in a lot of scenes, unlike for example, Jennifer Connely, who only appeared in one of the scenes in Top Gun.

Tom Cruise

Jennifer Connely

Here's the code used to display the Movies and Scenes section above on a Cast's page:

$cast_id = get_the_ID();
$movies  = get_cf_related_from( 'movie_cast' );

$output = '<div class="movies-and-scenes">';

foreach ( $movies as $movie_id ) {
    
    $output .= '<div class="related-movie-and-scenes">';
    
    // Related movie
    
    $movie_title = get_the_title( $movie_id );
    $movie_poster_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url( $movie_id, 'medium' );
    $movie_permalink = get_the_permalink( $movie_id );
    
    $output .= '<a href="' . esc_attr( $movie_permalink ) . '" class="related-movie"><img src="' . esc_attr( $movie_poster_url ) . '" class="related-movie-poster" /><span class="related-movie-title">' . esc_html( $movie_title ) . '</span></a>';
    
    // Scenes in the movie
    
    $scenes = get_cf( 'movie_scenes', 'raw', $movie_id );
    
    $scenes_for_this_cast = array();
    
    foreach ( $scenes as $scene ) {
        if ( in_array( $cast_id, $scene['movie_scene_casts'] ) ) {
            $scenes_for_this_cast[] = $scene;
        }
    }
    
    if ( count( $scenes_for_this_cast ) > 0 ) {
        
        $output .= '<div class="movie-cast__scenes">';
        
        foreach ( $scenes_for_this_cast as $cast_scene ) {
            
            $scene_attachment_id = $cast_scene['movie_scene_image'];
            $scene_thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_url( $scene_attachment_id, 'medium' );
            $scene_full = wp_get_attachment_image_url( $scene_attachment_id, 'full' );
            $scene_time = $cast_scene['movie_scene_time'];
            $scene_caption = $cast_scene['movie_scene_caption'];
            
            $output .= '<div class="movie-cast__scene">
                      <a href="' . esc_attr( $scene_full ) . '" target="_blank"><img src="' . esc_attr( $scene_thumbnail ) . '" /></a>
                      <div class="movie-cast__scene-info"><span class="movie-cast__scene-time">' . esc_html( $scene_time ) . '</span><span class="movie-cast__scene-caption">' . esc_html( $scene_caption ) . '</span></div>
                    </div>';
            
        }
        
        $output .= '</div>';
        
    } else {
        
        $output .= '<div class="no-movie-scenes">No scenes stored in this database for ' . get_the_title( $cast_id ) . ' in this movie.</div>';

Tabs and Columns

When you have a lot of fields in a custom field group, grouping them into tabs and organizing fields into rows makes for a more manageable data input form.

Examples

Settings

The tab field when you add it, will have a light blue background to signify that it will group custom fields positioned beneath it into a tab.

Each field has a "Column Width" settings where you can choose between: full, three quarters, two thirds, half, third and quarter.

If you want two fields in a row, pick three quarters + quarter, two thirds + third or half + half. If you want three fields in a row, pick third + third + third or half + quarter + quarter, and so forth.

Headings and Line Breaks

Headings allow you to divide your custom fields into sections. Line breaks allow you to define where a row ends and show the next custom field input in a new row. Both makes your data input form even more manageable.

Examples

Settings

Both the heading and line break fields, when you add them, will have a light grey background and field type badge to signify that it is a layout field type. Consider using field names that includes a random string for them.

Options Pages

You can create custom admin pages called Options Pages to store various data types using any of the available field types. These pages are often used to allow non-admins, e.g. clients, to easily edit various pieces of information throughout a site, e.g. company address, business hours, etc.

You can then display the field values in any part of your website, not only on posts, pages or CPTs. You can do it using one of the supported page builders, Bricks, Oxygen, Breakdance or Elementor. In other scenarios, you can use the same functions and shortcodes available for the various field types.

Examples

Settings

Retrieval and Display

You can use the same functions and shortcodes available for the various field types when displaying field values from an Options Page.

the_cf() & `[cf]` shortcode

Display the value of a custom field. the_cf() uses the same parameters as get_cf(), while the [cf] shortcode uses corresponding arguments as shown in the examples below.

Examples

In a post, a single template or in a loop: defaulting to the current post. Assuming it's (currently) the Mission Impossble movie (a custom post type), display the movie writers with:

the_cf( 'movie_writers' )

[cf name="movie_writers"]

Bruce Geller, Erik Jendresen, Christopher McQuarrie

Display the iconic scene of the Mission Impossble movie (a custom post type) in a medium size from anywhere on the site:

the_cf( 'movie_iconic_scene', 'image_view__medium', 168 )

[cf name="movie_iconic_scene" output="image_view__medium" post_id="168"]

Please refer to each custom field type's documentation for more examples specific to each type.

get_cf_related_to()

Returns posts, pages and/or custom post type posts being related to from the current post, i.e. target posts.

Or, choose one of the special output format: 'titles_only_c', 'titles_only_v', 'image_titles_v' or 'image_titles_h'. The special format is mainly used to display the returned value using the_cf_related_to(). Please see the Relationship field documentation for further info.

$base_format

string

optional

The base format of relationship data for processing into the output format. Choose between 'raw', 'api' or 'input'. Defaults to 'raw'.

array

An indexed array of target post IDs.

Examples

We'll use the following 'movie_casts_list' relationship field as an example. This is placed inside a field group for the 'movie' post type, relating to the 'cast' post type.

In a post, a single template or in a loop: defaulting to the current post. Assuming it's (currently) the Mission Impossble movie (a custom post type), get values for all movie casts with:

get_cf_related_to( 'movie_casts_list' )

...which is similar to the following function placed anywhere on the site:

get_cf_related_to( 'movie_casts_list', 'default', 'raw', 168 )

...to retrieve the following data:

Array(6)
(
    0 => string '179' (3)
    1 => string '181' (3)
    2 => string '183' (3)
    3 => string '185' (3)
    4 => string '188' (3)
    5 => string '190' (3)
)

the_cf_related_to() & `[cf_related_to]` shortcode

Display posts, pages and/or custom post type posts being related to from the current post, i.e. target posts. Uses the same parameters as get_cf_related_to(), while the [cf_related_to] shortcode uses corresponding arguments as shown in the examples below.

Examples

In a post, a single template or in a loop: defaulting to the current post. Assuming it's (currently) the Mission Impossble movie (a custom post type), display the movie writers with:

the_cf_related_to( 'movie_casts_list', 'image_titles_v' )

[cf_related_to name="movie_writers" output="image_titles_v"]

...which is similar to the following function or shortcode placed anywhere on the site:

the_cf_related_to( 'movie_casts_list', 'image_titles_v', 'raw', 168 )

[cf_related_to name="movie_writers" output="image_titles_v" base="raw" post_id="168"]

This will be processed using get_page_by_path(), so make sure the post name/slug includes the parent post's name/slug for hierarchical post type, e.g. 'parent-slug/post-slug'.

You can add posts from different post types, as long as those post types have been assigned to the relationship field, i.e. available for selection Please also make sure the posts already exist. Non-existent post IDs or names/slugs will not create new posts.

• A string or integer of the term ID, or a string of comma-separated term IDs, or an array of term IDs. For example: '12', or 12 or '75, 80, 96' (with spacing after commas) or '75,80,96' (without spacing after commas), or array( 75, 80, 96 ), or array( '75', '80', '96' )
• A string of the term name/title, or a string of comma-separated term names/titles, or an array of term names/titles. For example 'Technology', or 'Technology, Culture, Law' (with spacing after commas), or, 'Technology,Culture,Law' (without spacing after commas) array( 'Technology', 'Culture', 'Law' )
• A string of the term slug, or a string of comma-separated term slugs an array of term slugs. For example, 'technology', or 'technology, culture, law' (with spacing after commas), or 'technology,culture,law' (without spacing after commas), array( 'technology', 'culture', 'law' )

You can add terms from different taxonomies, as long as those taxonomies have been assigned to the term field, i.e. available for selection. Please also make sure the terms already exist. Non-existent term IDs, names and slugs will not create new terms.

User:
The value can be any of the following:
• A string or integer of the user ID, or a string of comma-separated user IDs, or an array of integer user IDs. For example: '5', 5, '5, 9, 15' (with spacing after commas) or '5,9,15' (without spacing after commas), or array( 5, 9, 15 )
• A string of user email, or a string of comma-separated user emails, or an array of user emails. For example: '[email protected]', or '[email protected], [email protected]' (with spacing after comma), or '[email protected],[email protected]' (without spacing after comma), or array( '[email protected]', '[email protected]' )
• A string of username, or a string of comma-separated usernames, or an array of usernames. For example: 'johndoe', or 'johndoe, bob_dylan' (with spacing after comma), or 'johndoe,bob_dylan' (without spacing after comma, or array( 'johndoe', 'bob_dylan' )

Please make sure that the user accounts already exist. Non-existent user IDs, emails or usernames will not create new users.

Repeater:
The value should be an associative array of sub-field values. In the following example, there are two rows of sub-fields data, where movie_scene and movie_scene_caption are file and text sub-fields, and movie_scene_casts is a child/nested repeater sub-field with two rows of movie_scene_cast and movie_scene_actor text and relationship sub-fields.

Array(2)
(
    0 => Array(3)
    (
        movie_scene => integer 10094
        movie_scene_caption => string 'Hanging on a cliff' (18)
        movie_scene_casts => Array(2)
        (
            0 => Array(2)
            (
                movie_scene_cast => string 'Ethan Hunt' (10)
                movie_scene_actor => integer 5840
            )
            1 => Array(2)
            (
                movie_scene_cast => string 'August Walker' (13)
                movie_scene_actor => integer 5998
            )
        )
    )
    1 => Array(2)
    (
        movie_scene => integer 10146
        movie_scene_caption => string 'Face to face' (12)
    )
)

This will produce the following values in the custom field group meta box:

insert_post_cf()

Create a new post and set the values of custom fields for the post.

insert_post_cf($post_data,$fields_data=array())

Parameters

$post_data

array

required

An array of attributes for the new post. This is the same attributes used in the $postarr parameter in wp_insert_post(). For example: array( 'post_title' => 'Star Trek Beyond', 'post_type' => 'movie', 'post_status' => 'publish' )

$fields_data

array

optional

This should be an associative array of field names and values. For example: array( 'movie_release_year' => '2020', 'movie_runtime' => '1h 45m' )
You can use the same set of data format for the value of each field type as has been documented for update_cf(). Make sure that you've created the custom field group with the required field types and names, and have associated it with the post type of the new post you want to create.

Return

integer

The ID of the newly created post.

`[post_cf_form]` shortcode

Display a frontend form to create or edit a post and the custom field values.

The custom field inputs will be shown as they are arranged in the backend, i.e. grouped in the custom field group metabox(es), for the post edit screen. It will preserve the tabs, widths and positioning.

[post_cf_form type="" post_id="" post_type="" etc...]

Parameters

type

required

The value can either be create to display a form for creating a new post, or edit to displaly a form to edit an existing post.

post_id

optional

When the form is for editing an existing post, this should be the post ID, or in_url to get the post ID from the post_id URL parameter of the page that the form is being displayed on. For example, if the from is displayed in https://www.example.com/edit-movie/?post_id=2345, the form will displaly post and custom field values from the movie with the post ID of 2345.

post_type

optional

When the form is for creating a new post, use the post type slug to set which post type to create. e.g. movie, event, etc.

post_title

optional

Use hide to hide the field to set or edit the title of the post being edited or created. The default is to show the post title field when this parameter is not included in the shortcode.

post_content

optional

Use show to show the field to set or edit the content of the post being edited or created. The default is to hide the post content field when this parameter is not included in the shortcode.

post_status

optional

When creating a new post, choose between publish, draft, pending and private. The default is draft when this parameter is not included in the shortcode.

field_groups

optional

Use comma-separated custom field group IDs , e.g. 245,146, to manually set the fields from which you'd like to show on the form. This can be useful if your post type has multiple custom field groups associated with it. The default is to show all custom field groups and the fields in each when this parameter is not included in the shortcode.

excluded_fields

optional

Use comma-separated field names, e.g. movie_iconic_scene, movie_behind_the_scenes to exclude certain fields from being shown in the form. The default is to not exclude any field when this parameter is not included in the shortcode.

captcha

optional

Use either altcha, recaptcha (Google) or turnstile (Cloudflare). The default is to use altcha when this parameter is not included in the shortcode. CAPTCHA protection is only enabled when the form is shown to non-logged-in users / public visitors.

submit_label

optional

Use a custom label for the submit button. The default is Submit (internationalized) when this parameter is not included in the shortcode.

Examples

Let's assume the following custom field group has been associated with the Music Albums (album) custom post type.

The following shortcode will display a form to create a new post in the Music Album (album) custom post type, showing the field to edit the post title and post content, and then all custom fields below it.

[post_cf_form type="create" post_content="show" post_type="album"]

The following shortcode will display a form to edit an existing post with the ID 10857 in the Music Album (album) custom post type, showing the field to edit the post title and post content, and then all custom fields below it.

[post_cf_form type="edit" post_id="10857" post_content="show" captcha="recaptcha"]

The following shortcode when placed on a page with the URL https:://www.example.com/edit-album/?post_id=10857 will display a form to edit an existing post with the ID 10857 in the Music Album (album) custom post type, showing the field to edit the post title and post content, and then all custom fields below it.

[post_cf_form type="edit" post_id="in_url" post_content="show" captcha="recaptcha"]

Important Notes

All field types will work (mostly) as they are in the backend, including repeater, relationship, term and user fields, with the following caveats when the form is shown to non-logged-in users / public visitors:

You will not be able to add/upload files for/from the WYSIWYG, file/media and gallery fields. So, it maybe better to exculde these fields from being shown in the form alltogether using the excluded_fields parameter.
The user field will not show the "(username | email)" portion of the user. You should also consider excluding this field type from being shown in the form, as some users have not set their display name properly and it might expose their username to public visitors.

Gutenberg / Block Editor

You can use the provided [cf], [cf_related_to] and [cf_related_from] shortcodes for the various field types to display their value inside the block editor. You can also use a custom shortcode you maybe creating for displaying the value of a repeater field.

Using the Meta Field Block or Shortcode Preview Block plugin

Currently, the best way to display ASE custom field values is using the Meta Field Block plugin. This will allow you to render a live preview of the custom field shortcode provided by ASE within the block editor, as can be seen in the example below. Another alternative is to use the Shortcode Preview Block plugin, or the core Shortcode block if you don't want to rely on a block plugin.

We are showing the value of the relationship field called movie_actors inside a Query Loop using the shortcode [cf_related_to name="movie_actors" output="titles_only_c"].

Using the raw value of a custom field

Sometimes, all you may need is the raw value of an ASE custom field. For example, GenerateBlocks allows you to query the raw value of a custom field via it's Dynamic Data option. If you select Post Meta as the dynamic data source, you only need to enter the Field Name that you've set in an ASE custom field group for that custom field.

Page Builders

ASE's custom fields are integrated with the following page builders.

Bricks

All field types are fully supported in Bricks Builder. The repeater and relationship fields work great with the Query Loop, and you can use nested Query Loops to query nested (parent-child) repeater fields (and their sub-fields). All other field types work with various elements (text, image, video, etc.) and contexts (text, link, image, video, media, loop) as well as the {echo} tag when in use with ASE functions like get_cf().

Breakdance

All field types work in various Breakdance modules in accordance with the expected return types (string, URL, image, video).

The repeater field also works nicely to display the sub-fields in a custom layout/design via the Repeater Field element and the Global Block.

Relationship field support in the Loop Builder on par with support for ACF relationship fields will require the Breakdance team to make changes in their code. Please upvote this feature request if you'd like to see it happen. Meanwhile, you can use Array Query along with get_cf_related_to() like the example below:

$related_post_ids = array();

if ( function_exists( 'get_cf_related_to' ) ) {
    $related_post_ids = get_cf_related_to( 'relationship_field_name' );
}

return ['post__in' => $related_post_ids,
'post_type'=> array( 'post_type_key', 'another_post_type_key' ) ];

Note that post_type_key and another_post_type_key here refers to the relationship target post types.

Using Custom Field in a Conditional

When trying to use a custom field in a conditional via the Dynamic Data option, you'll notice that several custom fields are duplicated. For example, in the Actor Info custom field group below, the Birthplace field is shown twice..

This is because Birthplace is a text field and with the Breakdance integration, a text field can be rendered as the following types: string, a URL or video. In the screenshot above, they can be rendered as either the string type or the URL type within the context of the Heading element the conditional is being applied to.

In most if not all cases, you can select String in the Type dropdown (top-right corner in the screenshot above) and then select the custom field for use in the conditional.

Then you can work with the string / text value of the Birthplace custom field as shown below.

One special case to keep in mind is when you work with a True / False field, which will return either Yes or No when used in as a String type. So, in the conditional, you can do something like the following.

You can also use Custom PHP condition along with the get_cf() function for the various field types. Below is an example on how to do that.

// Example #1
if ( get_cf( 'show_apply_link' ) ) {
  return true;
} else {
  return false;
}

// Example #2
if ( 'Yes' == get_cf( 'show_apply_link', 'yes_no' ) ) {
  return true;
} else {
  return false;
}

Oxygen

All field types except for the repeater field works in various Oxygen modules in their respective mode, i.e. returning full content, URL value or the image ID. Repeater field support like how it works with ACF and Meta Box will require code changes by the Oxygen team. Please comment, upvote and support this feature request on GitHub if you'd like to see that implemented in a future release of Oxygen.

Elementor

All field types, except for the repeater field, are supported in various Elementor widgets (text editor, image, video, counter, etc.) according to the type of returned data the widget expects. The text editor widgets is able to display data from all field types, while for example, the image widget is only able to display data from the file field type with the image sub-type. Repeater field support is not implemented yet.

Export / Import of Custom Fields Data

Exporting and importing of custom fields data is not currently supported in full. You will be able to export and import the raw post meta, but they will not be reflected in the custom fields group meta box, i.e. after import, the custom field input will remain empty although the raw post meta will be imported.

However, if you're doing a full site migration, all the custom fields data should be migrated just fine. There is an additional database table ASE uses, asenha_cfgroup_values, to connect between the post ID, the custom field IDs and the post meta IDs. In a full-site migration, this table is also migrated. In an export / import, e.g. using a tool like WP All Export / Import, there is currently no mechanism to export / import that connection data. You may try to export and import that table via a DB manager like phpMyAdmin / Adminer.

Additionally, you can try to use the update_cf() function documented on this page to perform programmatic update of the custom field values to/on the destination site/post during your export / import procedure.
