Plugin Help Wordpress Video Site WordPress

Hi,

I am trying to use the advanced custom fields plugin in the single.php of my theme to embed youtube videos.

Here is the code



<object width="350" height="196"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/<?php $field = get_field('video_link'); ?> ?version=3&amp&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="never"></param><param name="allownetworking" value="internal"></param><param name="enableJSURL" value="false" /><param name="enableHREF" value="false" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/<?php $field = get_field('video_link'); ?> ?version=3&amp&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" allownetworking="internal" enablehref="false" width="350" height="262"></embed></object>



The above code does not display the video id from the custom field.

The human editor creates a post, pastes the video id into the custom field (video_link).

The custom field is then called by single.php and displays the video.


I had this working before, but it was messy concatenations and multiple php variables.


Any help correcting the code so the video_link field displays properly would be appreciated

To see an example

You are not "echoe" the value:

<?php echo $field = get_field('video_link'); ?>

use echo before $field

try this

<object width="350" height="196"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/<?php echo $field = get_field('video_link'); ?> ?version=3&amp&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="never"></param><param name="allownetworking" value="internal"></param><param name="enableJSURL" value="false" /><param name="enableHREF" value="false" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/<?php echo $field = get_field('video_link'); ?> ?version=3&amp&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" allownetworking="internal" enablehref="false" width="350" height="262"></embed></object>

Replace this

<?php $field = get_field('video_link'); ?>

with

<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'video_link', true) ?>

What about this, to support HTML5 and iOS devices

<iframe width="350" height="196" style="border:0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/<?php echo get_field('video_link') ?>"></iframe>
