Support › MB Settings Page › Trying to pull the URL for a file upload from Settings Page using ShortcodeResolved
I am trying to display some images in a Beaver Themer HTML module. I have settings page where the site owner can upload a logo ( and some other images ) using the File Upload field type. I have tried many things I have found here in the forum but can't seem to get it to work. Here's where I am now with the shortcode:
<img src="[rwmb_meta id='business-info#info_business_logo' attribute='url']">
I have also tried it without the settings page id:
<img src="[rwmb_meta id='info_business_logo' attribute='url']">
Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? THanks so much.
Updating with more information:
I decided to try and see if I could just create a view and then use the short code. I started with only using "site" fields. The only ones that would show on the front end of the site are the default "site" fields. Example: {{site.title}}
I cannot get any of the custom fields to show up on the front end of the site. I must have made some mistake in setting this up that I don't know about or don't understand. Hoping this makes sense to someone and that you can point me in the right direction. Thanks, again.
Hi Chris,
The multiple
setting is always set to true
for the field type file_upload
, which means the return of the helper function rwmb_meta()
is an array so you need to loop through the array to get each element.
Get more details in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/file-upload/#template-usage
Thanks for the reply. Forgive my ignorance here but do I need to create a shortcode using a form of the code on the page you linked? Would one of the other upload options allow for a single file upload without using the media library uploaded? I don't want the user to see the media library in the upload process. Thanks again.
Hi,
No need to create a custom function, you just need to create a loop in View, see more on this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/display-multiple-media-files-connected-to-a-user/
{% for item in post.file_upload_id %}
<img src="{{ item.url}}">
{% endfor %}
There is a file type image
that works similar to file_upload
, it allows the user to upload the image file without accessing the Media Library but the multiple
setting also set to true
for this field.
There must be something else that I am doing wrong. I moved the site over from LocalHost to a live server but still can't get this to work.
I created a new View and have set it up as a Type: Shortcode.
Here's the code in the View:
<h1>
This is a test.
</h1>{% set group = attribute( site, 'business-info' ) %}
{% for item in group.info_business_logo %}
{{ item.url }}
{% endfor %}
{% set group = attribute( site, 'business-info' ) %}
{% for item in group.info_business_logo %}
<a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.title }}</a>
{% endfor %}
{% set group = attribute( site, 'business-info' ) %}
<img src="{{ group.single_image_zd6n6bftlti.thumbnail.url }}" width="{{ group.single_image_zd6n6bftlti.thumbnail.width }}" height="{{ group.single_image_zd6n6bftlti.thumbnail.height }}" alt="{{ group.single_image_zd6n6bftlti.thumbnail.alt }}">
{% set group = attribute( site, 'business-info' ) %}
{% for clone in group.image_upload_egw66lpdlun %}
{% for item in clone %}
<img src="{{ item.thumbnail.url }}" width="{{ item.thumbnail.width }}" height="{{ item.thumbnail.height }}" alt="{{ item.thumbnail.alt }}">
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
And here's the output: https://base.m11design.dev/test-page/
I've checked and rechecked the code and I am obviously missing something or just don't know what I'm doing. I've used Pods Framework for years and years but I just purchased MB and this is my first time using it.
Hi,
Please take a look at my screen record to know how to show the image from the settings page https://share.getcloudapp.com/ApuYXd8N.
If it still troubles you, please share the code that creates the settings page and custom fields, I will help you to check.
Thanks for your response. I fought with this for several more hours. I finally decided to just try changing the "key" for the Tab settings on each tab in my Settings Page setup. I had used numbers for those and I changed the to words. Now the fields show up using views as they are supposed to. Is that really what was wrong? I mean is the correct setup for the Key on the tabs in Settings Pages supposed to be words and not numbers?
