There’s actually a tab that says “other notes.” I accomplished this using the shortcode.

AWESOME! Thank you so very very much.

That still didn’t do it, but I finally got it with this:

<?php if($this->field->name === 'telephone') : ?>
                                 <a href="tel:<?php echo $this->field->print_value() ?>">
                            	<?php echo $this->field->print_value() ?>
                            </a>
                        <?php else : ?>
                            <?php $this->field->print_value() ?>
                        <?php endif; ?>

Thanks so much!

The fields will show in the single record AND in the list. It is the “courses completed” field here:

https://thestudentloanlawyer.com/workshop-graduates-2/

and if you click through you’ll see it on the single page as well.

I tried that too (see same link). Maybe I’m not clear on what I want? I need the end result to be a clickable link so when people view it on mobile it will call the phone number.

Ooops – here’s the link: https://thestudentloanlawyer.com/workshop-graduates-2/

Thanks – I think I’m almost there, but something isn’t right. This is going to display on the single page, so I added the code to the single template (and added the template in a subdirectory of the theme folder). Then I created a field called telephone, made it a link field, and put in the number in both fields. In theory, the first field should be the link, the second the display number, right?

Only I nothing shows up. I just get blanks beside the telephone label. If I make it a text field, then it prepends the tel: and shows the number, but doesn’t make it a link. Obviously I need to tweak the php, but I haven’t been able to do so successfully yet. Here’s the entire text of the single template:

// define an array of fields to exclude here
$exclude = array();

?>

<div class="wrap <?php echo $this->wrap_class ?>">

  <?php while ( $this->have_groups() ) : $this->the_group(); ?>

  <div class="section" id="<?php echo Participants_Db::$css_prefix.$this->group->name ?>">

    <?php $this->group->print_title( '<h2>', '</h2>' ) ?>

    <?php $this->group->print_description( '<p>', '</p>' ) ?>

      <?php while ( $this->have_fields() ) : $this->the_field();  

          // skip any field found in the exclude array
          if ( in_array( $this->field->name, $exclude ) ) continue;

          // CSS class for empty fields
					$empty_class = $this->get_empty_class( $this->field );

      ?>

      <?php if ($this->field->name === 'telephone' ) $this->field->value = 'tel:' . $this->field->value ?>

    <dl class="<?php echo Participants_Db::$css_prefix.$this->field->name.' '.$this->field->form_element.' '.$empty_class?>">

      <dt class="<?php echo $this->field->name.' '.$empty_class?>"><?php $this->field->print_label() ?></dt>

      <dd class="<?php echo $this->field->name.' '.$empty_class?>"><?php $this->field->print_value() ?></dd>

    </dl>

    	<?php endwhile; // end of the fields loop ?>

  </div>

  <?php endwhile; // end of the groups loop ?>

</div>

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this. Here is the list – click through to the single page to see where my problem is.

No, it’s in the back end of the plugin itself, where you enter the post info and post meta, etc. You list a few shortcodes and then give the link. I’d give you a screenshot but I can’t upload anything here.

Oh wow – I found it in the other notes. This is amazing and will save me hours of coding. Sorry for the unnecessary post. Will donate at end of month!

Hi Ron, thanks for the response. I found the shortcodes elsewhere, but the broken link is in the sentence “NOTE: For a more comprehensive shortcode usage guide, see this page.”
