Great plugin,

Not sure if you can help but I cant work out if its possible to have more than 5 Additional Data Fields.
I was hoping to have 8

Any help would be great.

This plugin is exactly what I was looking for and it works great except for one issue– It works, but shows an error when used with the NextGEN Gallery plugin to show different image galleries in the sidebar for each post. The gallery shows and does work, but it also generates this error, “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-field-widget/adv-custom-field-widget.php(566) : eval()’d code on line 2″.

Any ideas?

You can ignore this, the theme I was using didn’t have a sidebar for single post views so it could never appear.

Hello, I’m trying to use your widget to display a view custom field values. It works as expected when i use it in the footer area but not when i use it in the sidebar. Any idea why?

Jock,

I’ve sent you an email asking for some more information and some sample data so I can try and recreate the problem on my development blog. The only thing I left out was if you could send me the HTML generated by the widget that would be good too.

Regards

Athena

Hi, This plug in is just what I’ve been looking for and up to now has worked brilliantly BUT when I try to display an image the widget converts the value of the custom field (which is the image URL) to the image ID! How can I get the widget to display the URL?

There’s probably a really easy explanation but I’m stumped.

Any ideas?

Hi Dave,

ACFW is designed to display the content of the fields attached to a particular post. It’s not designed to collect together the data from the same field across your blog. I’ve dropped you a mail to discuss this further.

I really did word that second line badly:\, what I meant to say was:

I have a custom field in my posts called “camera”, which is filled with a free text value.

What I want to do is have a list of camera types in the sidebar.

Hi, I’m really missing something here, I’m not sure if I’m using this correctly or not.

Simply put, I have a custom field for called “camera”, all lower case, and that are related to this field have a free text value for the camera field.

What I am trying to do, is have a list of all the camera types in my sidebar.

Is this the intent of this widget? No matter what I put where in this widget, I don’t get a list of cameras
