How to get Custom Field label

Hi @vaibhav26

Please see this page: https://docs.pods.io/code/pods/field/field-notation-options/#Pod_Information

Cheers, Jory

Thanks for quick reply @keraweb

But I’m using name(slug) of the field to using get_post_meta for value and for that particular name i want label.

Can you please let me know how to use it via sample code.

Thank you

Hi @vaibhav26

There are not default WordPress functions for this purpose, that is why I referred you to our field notations.. You can then use it with pods_field() for example.

Hi @keraweb

Still no luck. I have name(or slug) of purity a pods field. I used get_post_meta to gets it value but when I tried to get label by the function you referenced it returns its value.

this how I used it.

<?php $pods = pods('pod_name','purity');?>
print_r(pods_field($pods));

this code give me the its value but I need its Label. I don’t know where I am getting wrong.
Have a look.
Thank You

Hi @vaibhav26

You are trying to combine to different things.
Did you read the documentation?

It’s either:
pods_field( 'pod_name', null, '_field.my_field_name.label' );

or:
pods( 'pod_name' )->field( '_field.my_field_name.label' );

The first would basically translate to the latter.

hi @keraweb ,
I have tried both of your solution but it gives nothing in return.

Hi @vaibhav26

I’m sorry, it appears an object ID or any form of context is required.

So it would be:
pods_field( 'pod_name', OBJECT_ID, '_field.my_field_name.label' );
or
pods( 'pod_name', OBJECT_ID )->field( '_field.my_field_name.label' );

Cheers, Jory

Okay @keraweb , But how do I get object_Id via name of the pods field.

for example if I use this $pod = pods('pod_name', 'purity');

I got this result

Pods Object
(
    [iterator:Pods:private] => 
    [data] => PodsData Object
        (
            [fetch_full] => 1
            [api] => PodsAPI Object
                (
                    [display_errors] => 1
                    [pod_data] => 
                    [pod] => 
                    [format] => 
                    [deprecated:PodsAPI:private] => 
                )

            [pod_data] => 
            [table_info] => 
            [id] => purity
            [aliases] => Array
                (
                )

            [row_number] => -1
            [rows] =>

            [search_query] => 
            [search_fields] => Array
                (
                )

            [search_where] => Array
                (
                )

            [filters] => Array
                (
                )

            [params] => Array
                (
                )

            [traversal] => Array
                (
                )

            [traverse] => Array
                (
                )

            [sql] => 
            [total_sql] => 
        )

    [alt_data] => 
    [row_override] => Array
        (
        )

    [display_errors] => 1
    [pod_data] => 
    [ui] => Array
        (
        )

    [page_template] => 
    [body_classes] => 
    [meta] => Array
        (
        )

    [meta_properties] => Array
        (
        )

    [meta_extra] => 
    [deprecated] => 
)

I have only names of field not the id. Is there any possible to get that.

Thank you

Hi @vaibhav26

Aren’t you in a current post loop or post singular page?
If so, use get_the_ID() https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/get_the_id/

If you arent then even an empty array would do.

Cheers, Jory

Sorry to a say I’m getting the id but the `pods_field( ‘pod_name’, get_the_ID(), ‘_field.my_field_name.label’ );
or
pods( ‘pod_name’, get_the_ID() )->field( ‘_field.my_field_name.label’ );`

Didn’t giving me the result its always an empty string and I’m trying to show them at single product page of woocommerce.

Hi @vaibhav26

Just to be sure, you did change pod_name and my_field_name to the correct names right?

Cheers, Jory

On a side note, I just heard that our next release will make this a bit easier.
PHP function example:

echo pods_data_field( 'your_pod', '_field.my_field_name.label' );

Note that this function is new and won’t work in 2.9.3!
