Hi There,

No problem, and thanks for the quick reply. Basically, there are a number of different CPTs which are collected on a user’s dashboard. One of those are ‘Project Documentation’ where the user uploads a document and a small description. What I was looking to do was to link the post’s permalink directly to the post’s attachment, rather than to the post itself, or the attachment page. I realise this can be done in wordpress normally but this plugin is so good it’s taken over a lot of the site’s functionality :).

Here’s a link to a screenshot which might help illustrate things better. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hrc61a90eqf5hct/My_Media_-_AHRC_Modulate_Site.png

Brilliant, thanks. It seems that you can only edit through the front end but that’s no problem at all.

Thanks again

Hi Mahi,

Sorted now. Apologies,

Ben

Hi Mahi,

Any news on this?

Thanks

Ben

Thanks Tareq,

It’s not done the trick, I think there might be some conflicting stuff in the loop section above. It’s using the custom post type ‘resource’.

Any idea what the problem might be?

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php // Let's get the data we need
	$recording_date = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'recording_date', true );
	$recording_length = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'recording_length', true );
	$resource_presenters = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'presenters', '', ', ', '' );
	$resource_topics = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'topics', '', ', ', '' );
	$url = wp_get_attachment_url( $video_id );
	$resource_video = new WP_Query( // Start a new query for our videos
	array(
		'post_parent' => $post->ID, // Get data from the current post
		'post_type' => 'attachment', // Only bring back attachments
		'post_mime_type' => 'video', // Only bring back attachments that are videos
		'posts_per_page' => '1', // Show us the first result
		'post_status' => 'inherit', // Attachments require "inherit" or "all"
		)
	);
	$video_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'your_video_meta', true );
	$url = wp_get_attachment_url( $video_id );

?>

I really appreciate the support, when we get this sorted please could you point me to your preferred link for me to rate and review.

Kind regards,

Ben

I’m really sorry but I cant get this one to work with the meta, would you be able to give a more complete example based on the code I provided?

Thanks again, your help is much appreciated.

Ben

Sorry, code truncated, full version here:

				<?php while ( $resource_video->have_posts() ) : $resource_video->the_post(); // Check for our video ?>
					<div id="player">
						<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/jw/jwplayer.js"></script>
						<div id="mediaspace">Video player loads here.</div>
						<script type="text/javascript">
						    jwplayer("mediaspace").setup({
						        flashplayer: '<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ); ?>/jw/player.swf',
						        file: '<?php echo $post->guid; ?>',
						        width: 640,
						        height: 360
						    });
						</script>
					</div>
				<?php endwhile; ?>

Hi There,

Thanks for the reply. I tried this but I dont think it’s working. Here’s the code I’m using to call the video in the template, would you be able to suggest how I change it?

It was working perfectly with the free plugin.

Thanks
B

have_posts() ) : $resource_video->the_post(); // Check for our video ?>
