Advanced Custom Fields File with Events Manager

    I would like to be able to attach pdfs to my events. I am already using ACF throughout my site. I added the Field titled more_details to my ACF and attached it to events. I have tried calling #_ATT{more_details} and that only outputs the attachment id.

    I have tried using this following code, where I define and get the value of the ACF before calling the event, and that doesn’t work either. Any ideas how I can get this to work>

    global $EM_Event;
/* @var $EM_Event EM_Event */

$file = get_field('more_details');

echo EM_Events::output(array('format'=>
'
<div id="eventlist">
#_EVENTIMAGE
<h3>#_ATT{sub_headline}</h3>
<a href="'.$file.'">MORE DETAILS</a>
</div>

',
'category'=>36)); ?>

    hi,

    sorry Im afraid that this is not possible at the moment and it might need custom coding on your part to make this work.

    The ACF support told me this

    If the events are just a custom post type and you can get the ID of the event, you can pass it to the second parameter of get_field() like this:

    $event_id = 99; // change this with the ID of the event
$file = get_field('more_details', $event_id);
echo $file;

    Where 99 is the ID of the event.

    I’d like to use this in a list though. How do I get $event_id to equal an event id of the query, not a specific event?

    I rewrote my code and got it to work. I know there have been some other people in the past who had the same issue, so its a an easy way to attach a file to an event using ACF File Field

    <?php
            $events = EM_Events::get(array('category'=>'36'));
            foreach( $events as $EM_Event ){
                $event_id = $EM_Event->output("#_EVENTPOSTID");

       // change this with the ID of the event
$file = get_field('more_details', $event_id);

 ?>   

<div id="eventlist">
<?php echo $EM_Event->output("#_EVENTIMAGE");?>
<h3><?php echo $EM_Event->output("#_ATT{sub_headline}");?></h3>
<a href="<?php echo $file;?>">MORE DETAILS</a>
</div>

  <?php } ?>
