Regarding thread Using a Custom Field Type on Pages in Post Slider Element

[domchocolate]

Hi guys (and Mike)
We discussed using a custom field type in the post slider element here –
https://kriesi.at/support/topic/using-a-custom-field-type-on-pages-in-post-slider-element/ – (which is now closed)

I have just spotted a small issue.

Modifying postslider.php to get the excerpt to pull through a custom field into postsliders where available works well, except I need the excerpt to carry the permalink of the post too.

If you visit https://owe.brother.design/, you’ll see there are three tiles created using this method – “Benefits, Vision and Local Character”. Each of their respective “alternative headline” generated from the custom field type should have a link to the respective page/post.

Do you have any ideas on how I can tweak this?

No worries, I sussed it!

$excerpt = '<a href="' . $link . '"> '. $meta_value .' </a>';
