Dynamic URL in Shortcode

    Trying to use this plugin to be able to play a sound file unique to each post. I guess there are two ways to do it, one is to get the file from the custom file field, but I don’t think the plugin supports that. The second way is to have a url for each post the shows the sound file location.

    How would I go about populating the URL in the shortcode with a custom field value related to a custom post?

    I’ve tried the following but can’t get it to work…

    <?php $post_meta_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sound_url',TRUE);
echo do_shortcode('[sc_embed_player fileurl= ".$post_meta_value."]'); ?>

    and neither does this… 

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[sc_embed_player fileurl= "'.get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sound_url', true).'"]'); ?>

    thanks!

    you should be able to retrieve the URL from a custom field and use it with the plugin.

    Your sample code looks wrong which is most likely why it is not working. Try the following example:

    <?php
$post_meta_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sound_url',TRUE);
echo do_shortcode('[sc_embed_player fileurl='.$post_meta_value.']');
?>
