Custom Fields – parsing audioplayer

  • Hi, hope this is in the right section.

    I’ve started using custom fields (www.kidcapricious.com). They’re being used as add-ons to posts to provide image/tweet/link etc of the day.

    I use the ‘audioplayer’ plugin to embed MP3’s sometimes, and some days I’d like to append a track to my post. However I’d like it to appear in a custom field.

    Usually, if [audio:xxx.mp3] is included in the main body content it gets processed and replaced with the audioplayer. This doesn’t happen within the custom field.

    Any idea how I can make this happen?

    Many thanks!

    C.

  • Could look at using something like this:

    <?php
$custom_field_key='whatever your custom field key is';
$myshortcode = get_post_meta($post->ID, $custom_field_key, true);
do_shortcode($myshortcode);
?>

    Thanks for the response Michael.

    If you don’t mind – I can’t get my head round the logic of that.
    Could you explain?

    Assuming we are talking about shortcodes that execute your player:

    assign your custom field key name (here you put your custom field key)

    get the custom field value for that key for that post

    execute the shortcode

    Ok – I see. A bit slow today.

    Will give it a try, cheers!
