Anyone had any success implementing the 3D Flipbook in a looper?

So, I’ve recently started using the 3D Flipbook plugin (third party) for an academic journal website. There are about 40+ journals and I could place them manually on the page, but it seems like a looper setup should do the trick.

3D Flipbook uses a custom post type, so I can use the posts element, but unfortunately, this plugin doesn’t use a featured image, but rather a thumbnail. I cannot figure out how to dynamically pull the thumbnail into the looper. It seems like a popular plugin, so I wondered if any of you pro theme or coding ninjas out there figured it out. I asked the plugin developers, but there are no answers yet. I’m guessing it’s adding some custom dynamic content like {{dc:post:thumbnail_id}}. But honestly, it would be great if someone could take my hand and lead me to the Promise Land, where the thumbnails populate in place of the featured image as well. I’ve looked at this Dynamic Content documentation, but if anyone can add some extra guidance, I would be truly grateful. Or perhaps it’s something ridiculously simple and I’m completely overthinking it.

Hey @stotman,

Thanks for the detailed post information. I would high;y recommend that you use the JSM Post Meta plugin. This should easily display all the available post meta when you edit one of the 3D Flipbook post type. Instead of using the {{dc:post:thumbnail_id}} you will have to use the {{dc:post:meta field="the_name"}}. You can use the display of the JSM PostMeta plugin to reference which custom field you will be using in displaying the image thumbnail.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your help @ruenel. I’ll give that a try.
