ACF advanced custom Fields in results description

[MarkChaskParticipant]

Hi.
I would like to know if I can use advanced custom fields in the results description.

This is an example of the field (ACF is set to return the url of a file)
<?php the_field(‘file_download’); ?>
Result:
http://www.mysite…../file.pdf

Ajax pro finds the custom field {file_download} but returns the media id.
{file_download}
result:
4001

Is there a way to get the file url instead of the file ID?

I wrote this. Maybe if you want to share it:

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_field_to_title', 1, 1 );
  
function asp_custom_field_to_title( $results ) {
  $custom_field = "super";
 
  foreach ($results as $k=>$v) {

      $meta_value = get_field('file_download',$results[$k]->id); // ACF support
        
      if($meta_value){
         $results[$k]-&gt;title  .= " - <a href='" . $meta_value . "' target='_blank'>Download</a>";
       }
       else{
          $results[$k]-&gt;title;
       }
  }
  
  return $results;
}

Hi!

Thank you very much for sharing the code, I will keep it public, so others can find it as well. It is good to know that ACF file upload fields return the media ID only.

Best,
