   Hello Everyone!

   Is there anyway to do this? I want to reference some custom field (1) in custom field (2) under the same post.

   The details -- I have custom field that looks like this:

   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
   id="live_embed_player_flash"
   data="http://www.justin.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf?channel=cineplatiniun507"
   bgcolor="#000000" height="300" width="400">
   <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
   <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
   <param name="allowNetworking" value="all">
   <param name="movie" value="http://www.justin.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf">
   <param name="flashvars" value="channel=cineplatiniun507">
   </object>

   And want to create a second custom field that feeds its content into the custom field above. Essentially, I want the second custom field to be the bold part here: "channel=cineplatiniun507" thus making it easier to update for some of my less tech-savvy teammates.

   I have tried dropping some php code into custom field 1 referencing custom field two, but it displays the php code as text, and fails to reference the second field.

   Any ideas?

   Thanks a lot for your input!!

   Alberto

   I think this approach might work:

   • Use a unique string in CF1 where the replacement is needed.
   • Retrieve the contents of both CF's.
   • Use str_replace to replace the unique string with the value from CF2.
