Use dynamic content to pull a media file from an ACF field

[mgiraud]

Hi. I’m customizing a Woo product page with Cornerstone and using the Product Tabs element. In one of the tabs, I’d like to pull from one of the ACF fields I’ve set up that’s a File field type – a PDF brochure.

So my question is how I set up that dynamic query. From the dropdown I can pull the contents of a text-based ACF field easily. But for the field where I’ve uploaded the PDF into the product record, that code returns nothing:

<p><a href="{{dc:acf:post_field field="csa-brochure"}}">Download</a> our brochure for this CSA</p>

I’m assuming this is because I need to somehow pull the URL associated with the item, but I don’t see any obvious way to do that from the drop-downs I’m presented. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello @mgiraud,

Thanks for writing to us.

It seems that you have added the correct dynamic content code to pull the PDF URL, please make sure you have set the ACF field “Return value” as “File URL”

If it doesn’t work for you, please share your details in a secure note. Please provide the following details

• WordPress Login URL
• Admin-level username and password
• Exact page URL

You can find the Secure Note button at the bottom of your posts

Thanks

Hi. As I mentioned in my previous secure note, I’m currently working locally so I can’t give you access. So this will have to wait until i’m ready to push to my staging server (unless you have a better idea).

Hello Matt,

It would be best if you could make the website online on the staging server so that we can access the site and guide you properly.

Thanks
