[Plugin: Custom Field Template] Getting PDF's to work

    I created this custom field:

    [Material]
type = file
label = Please upload PDF
size = 30
relation = true
mediaLibrary = true
mediaPicker = true
mediaRemove = true
multipleButton = true
multiple = true

    I want to be able to upload a PDF in the admin and display it in a post. I am echoing the attribute with the following code, and all it does is output a number 103. So I know I am doing something wrong here, but I’m still a novice PHP guy. I am also having a problem with the checkbox’s and arrays. The output just prints “array”.

    <?php if(isset($attr['Material']) && !empty($attr['Material'])){
	echo '<div class="instructor">',$attr['Material'], '</div>';
}?>

    I should also note that I can not delete the file after it’s already been uploaded unless I delete the file from the library, i.e. the mediaRemove button is not working properly.

    Figured out my own problem so I wanted to post the solution incase anyone else has this issue. I was not properly calling the file. Make sure to change the attribute “Material” to whatever your attribute is called within the Template Content section of your Template.

    <?php if(isset($attr['Material']) && !empty($attr['Material'])){?>
<a href="<?php
   global $post;
   $material = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Material', true);
   echo wp_get_attachment_url($material);
   ?>">Download</a>
<? } ?>
