Hello,
I am trying to use custom fields to display custom info on events in the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] list. I set up a one field called “Barcode” and input a value ‘12345’ but I can’t seem to figure out why it wont show for the event.
I have added the following code in content-espresso_events-shortcode.php
Code: <?php get_post_meta($post_id = the_ID(), 'Barcode'); ?>
It displays ‘6332’ on the event in the list. Every event I have has its own number displayed. Does EE4 support this function?

Hi,
You can make an adjustment to your code so it’s like this instead:
<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'Barcode', true ); ?>
or to be safe, with a check for a value:
$keyvalue = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'Barcode', true );
// Check if the custom field has a value.
if ( ! empty( $keyvalue ) ) {
echo $keyvalue;
}

Thanks, worked perfectly!
I was wondering how I can get the key to show before the value. So I want it to show “Barcode: #####” instead of just the numbers.
Thanks in advance!

Rather than just:
echo $keyvalue;
You would have:
echo 'Barcode:' . $keyvalue;
From the above, you are already hardcoding the key so it won’t make much difference in the echo itself.
