Great! Good luck with your project. 🙂

Howdy, @tomwhita,

It appears your meta_query should be like this:

$args = array(
	'post_type' => array( 'document' ),
	'post_status' => array( 'publish' ),
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key' => '_doc_project_association',
			'compare' => 'LIKE',
			'value' => '"post:project:' . $post->ID . '"',
		)
	)
);

I’ve changed several things:

1. The post type is now document – previously it was post. This was necessary as I can see your container is registered on the document post type and not on post.
2. I’ve added 'compare' => 'LIKE' – this is necessary in order to make a full text search within the serialized value.
3. The value has been changed to '"post:project:' . $post->ID . '"' – this is how the association field values are saved in the database.

Please, let me know if you have further questions.

Hi @tomwhita,

It appears you’ve missed it – it exists in the documentation. Basically there is a different data retrieval function for each container type – it can be found under the “Accessing field values” section in the documentation article of the corresponding container.

For example, you will easily notice it in the Post Meta container article in the documentation: http://carbonfields.net/docs/containers-post-meta/

Hi Dewy,

It appears you’re on the right track. You only have to use some WP default functions to achieve what you want.

We suggest that you proceed the following way:

1. First, make sure that you’re using the latest Carbon Fields (1.1). This will assure that you rimage field is saving the attachment ID (and not the URL).
2. Once this is true, $image = carbon_get_term_meta($term->term_id, 'crb_thumb') will return a numeric ID of the attachment.
3. You can use this ID to display an image with your preferred size, like this:

echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image, array( 450, 450 ) )

or if you have a predefined image size (registered with add_image_size()):

echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image, 'image_size_name' )

If you want to combine this into one line, it would be:

echo wp_get_attachment_image( carbon_get_term_meta( $term->term_id, 'crb_thumb' ), array( 450, 450 ) )

And if you want to receive the image details (width, height, URL, etc.), you can use:

$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( carbon_get_term_meta( $term->term_id, 'crb_thumb' ), array( 450, 450 ) )

and then $image will contain an array with the image details (as shown here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_attachment_image_src/).

Please, let us know if you have further questions.

Have fun! 🙂

Hi Mayeenul!

The best way to use the Carbon Fields in the theme is to load it with Composer – https://getcomposer.org. To do that, you should add htmlburger/carbon-fields as a composer dependency (in the composer.json file), then load Composer’s autoload file (for example in your theme functions.php).

If you’re having difficulties with that approach, you should try including the Carbon Fields plugin file in your theme functions.php – it will setup the autoloading for you. Example:

require(__DIR__ . '/libs/carbon-fields/carbon-fields-plugin.php');

Please, let us know if you’re having further issues.

Hey @stardeuche,

As far as I understand, you were able to find your way?

Please, don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions.

Hey Richard,

Glad we were able to help.

We currently don’t have Dutch translation, so it would be really wonderful if you can contribute with it.

Hi @yoderman94,

Within the current version there isn’t an out-of-the-box way to do it. It is a planned feature for one of the next versions.

If you need to implement it right now, you can create a custom Carbon Field type, by extending the Text or Textarea field. There you can add the custom functionality you need.

There is a custom field type template that you can use for starting. You can read more about it here: http://carbonfields.net/docs/extending/
