ACF advanced custom Fields in results description

[MarkChask]

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&#8230;../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:

[code]add_filter( ‘asp_results’, ‘asp_custom_field_to_title’, 1, 1 );

function asp_custom_field_to_title( $results ) {
$custom_field = "super";

foreach ($results as $k=&gt;$v) {

$meta_value = get_field(‘file_download’,$results[$k]-&gt;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;
}[/code]

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.
