Getting post attchment URL to populate a CPT Admin Page Column

admin管理员组

文章数量:1336584

Just trying to work out how to get the url of a file attached to a Post and displaying that in the admin page for that CPT. The file is attached to the post via an ACF file upload field called 'grading_form'

I have the Admin Page columns setup (using my custom plugin) and the data is populated in all of the columns (again, using the custom plugin).

Each post has a PDF form file attached to it. I would like to have a column in the admin page which has a link to the PDF file.

So far I have the following:

function toogee_grading_applications_column( $column, $post_id ) {      
// Grading Form column
  if ( 'grading_form' === $column ) {
    $gradingForm = wp_get_attachment_url( 'grading_form' );

    if ( ! $gradingForm ) {
      _e( 'N/A' );  
    } else {
      echo $gradingForm;
    }
  }
}
add_action( 'manage_grading_applications_posts_custom_column', 'toogee_grading_applications_column', 10, 2);

Note: I have other columns that are all working using the above format but I just removed them from this in the interests of shortening this post

Once I have the URL of the PDF file attachment, I was just going to enter something like the following in the else statement to have a link in that column:

echo '<a href="'.$gradingForm.'">Grading Form</a>';

Unless there is a better way of doing it?

Thanks for any input

The File field's documentation has some options you can try, but here's an example if your field's Return Value is array, where you can use $gradingForm['url'] to get the attachment URL:

$gradingForm = get_field( 'grading_form', $post_id );
echo $gradingForm ? '<a href="' . esc_url( $gradingForm['url'] ) . '">Grading Form</a>' : 'N/A';

And the proper way to use wp_get_attachment_url() is by passing the attachment (post) ID as the only parameter like this: wp_get_attachment_url( 123 ).

And in your case, here's an example without using get_field():

$att_id = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'grading_form', true );
$gradingForm_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $att_id );
