Insert Soliloquy Shortcode Using Advanced Custom Fields

DesignMe has many clients that want to self-maintain their website. So our development process keeps that in mind by making edits/additions as easy as possible. One way is to use Advanced Custom Fields to place a single line of text that can then be put into a shortcode to create a custom slider.

This particular client wanted a slideshow at the top of their single Custom Post Type pages. So, I created an ACF text field that allowed user to enter soliloquy slide #. I then incorporated that shortcode into the appropriate page template like this:

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'add_project_info', 1 );

function add_project_info() {

$client = get_field('client');
$slider = do_shortcode( '' );

echo '<div class="project-slider">' . $slider . '</div>';
echo '<div class="projectdetails"><p><strong>Client: </strong> ' . $client . '<br>';
}
