liiam on "Call Custom Field inside shortcode or php within the template"

$

Hi

I am using the Simple WP Shopping Cart

They offer short code and php options for inserting a button which is:

<?php echo print_wp_cart_button_for_product(’PRODUCT-NAME’, PRODUCT-PRICE); ?>

or

[wp_cart:PRODUCT-NAME:price:PRODUCT-PRICE:end]

As you can see for each button you need to set the name and price.

I have made a custom post type with custom fields using ACF plugin (advanced custom fields plugin)

I have successfully called some of those custom fields into my template but I would like to insert the "price" custom field and the "post title" into the shortcode (or php) of the shop button.

for example

echo '<h2>';the_title();echo '</h2>';
	echo the_field('price');
	 echo '<img src="';the_field('image');echo '">';
        echo print_wp_cart_button_for_product(‘echo the_title();’, echo the_field('price'); );
         the_excerpt();

I have tried several variations but it either doesnt do anything or it breaks the page.

I am calling the custom post type in groups of 3 as well, in line with the layout I want to achieve so the full code to pull the posts is

<?php

// Show a selected number of posts per row
$posts_per_row = 3;
$posts_per_page = 9;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
   'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
   'paged' => $paged,
   'post_type' => product,
);
query_posts($args);
if (have_posts()) {
   while (have_posts()) {
      the_post();
      if ((++$post_counter % $posts_per_row) == 1  || $posts_per_row == 1) {
         if ($post_counter > 1) {
            echo "</div><!-- End of post_row -->\n";  // End previous row
         }
         echo "<div class='post_row'>\n";  // Start a new row
      }
      echo "<div class='grid_4'>\n";  // Start one post
         // Output post data here
         echo '<h2>';the_title();echo '</h2>';
	echo the_field('price');
	 echo '<img src="';the_field('image');echo '">';
        echo print_wp_cart_button_for_product(‘wordpress’, 7.50);
         the_excerpt();
      echo "</div><!-- End of post_class -->\n";  // End of post
   } ?>
   </div><!-- End of post_row -->
   <div class='clear'></div>
   <div>
      <div><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
      <div><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
   </div>
<?php } else {
   // Code for no posts found
}
?>

If that helps any further.

Hopefully I have explained clearly enough that someone might know what I want to do, even if you dont know how to solve it but you know what terms I should be googling for etc please let me know.

Thanks in advance
