pass custom field value to IMDB connector

Thanks for the compliment!

I’ve never used Advanced Custom Fields, that’s why I can only guess the way it works and saves the meta fields to a post.

Assuming a post contains the meta field called “movie_title” whose value is “Apocalypse Now”, it’s very easy to get whatever information you need of the movie. Here’s an example:

<?php
   /**
    * This is how we can get movie title as a string. Please note that this only
    * works within the loop. If you're outside the loop, you have to replace get_the_ID() with the ID of the post you're targeting.
    */
   $movie_title = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), "movie_title", true);

   /**
    * Now we get the actual movie details. If you just need a single detail,
    * you can also use get_imdb_connector_movie_detail($movie_title, "YOUR DETAIL");
    */
   $movie = get_imdb_connector_movie($movie_title);

   /**
    * Now we should check if the movie has been successfully saved.
    */
    if($movie) {
       /**
        * Now we display a text that contains the movie title and the year it was
        * released. For a list of all available details, please check
        * https://www.koljanolte.com/wordpress/plugins/imdb-connector/
        */
       echo "&quot;" . $movie["title"] . "&quot; has been released in " . $movie["year"] . ".";
    }
?>

That was it already. I hope I could answer your question. In case I’ve misunderstood you or you have any other questions, let me know.

Thanks! Very helpful, marking as resolved.
