Did some more google searches of this support forum and found a thread that fave me what I needed to add to the custom php file to make it work.

Eliot,
It is very, very pretty. Bravo!

Essentially it’s just a loop nested in a loop.

Outer loop displays categories/tax’s, dates… and then the “content” of that loop contains another [loop] of contained posts. I don’t have a need for it this moment, but in the past I have. I like your logic of [for each=””][each name]. That’s got a lot of potential for flexibility. If I were a better coder I’d offer to help, but, this is not my gift!

I look forward to purchasing/donating for your toolbox when it’s ready.

Is there anyone that has any clues to this? I’m a bit of a noob in this area.

I have been tinkering around but have no idea where to add anything in to fire off a “you’re registration needs to be approved email”.

I’m even testing adding a “complete your registration” form button to the default on page pending message that fires a mailto: but there has to be a more elegant way!

Also thought about interjecting a Gravity Forms form before theme my login, have that form send a notification, then feed the form info into theme my login’s form, but that seems like an awful lot of mucking around. And I can’t get the redirect to work.

No worries, man. Just knowing acf’s shortcodes work inside your loops is perfect!

I did some reading on acf’s OWN shortcodes and made it work perfectly. No need for you to do anything here… idiot users like me just need to do our homework.

Alright, so if you look at This you can see that [content field=”data_sheet”] is returning the attachment id, not the file, or url.

It’s an acf file field, set to return url, and set to upload to post. I just can’t find anywhere in the docs how to display it properly.

I made a change to using ACF for all this. I know this plugin already does well playing with ACF.

Here’s the function given for getting the image from the Just CF plugin upload field:

just_custom_image( $post_id, $field_slug, [$args_single] );

Actually, I’d be ok with the thumbnail, but what I’d really like to return is the file url.

The custom field is made with Just Custom Fields.

Apparently I can return either the url or the object.

I think this is using non-standard custom fields, though. For most fields made with the plugin, standard wordpress custom field code works. Not sure about the file upload though. If you have another suggestion for creating the file upload field, I’m open to it.

If I could ask… how did you get it to show up? I have a custom field file upload named “data_sheet” but `[content field=”data_sheet”] returns “Array” and nothing else…

Yes, that’d be great. I’m using the shortcode to assign a class to each post which matches the category name, so the slug would work best.

One other question… if the category has multiple words… can you use the slug? I’d like class=”high-performance-group” a lot more than class=”High Performance Group”

And that’s how come ‘cuz you rock.

I got “somewhere” using the pass shortcode.
If I use this:

[pass field="post-category"]
    [category="{FIELD}"]
[/pass]
[content field="post-category"]

I get this on the rendered page:

[category="Array"]
