term slug from variable id....

[terriwun]

I have a custom field where the user (wordpress admin) will check off the term name they want associated with a blog post. I currently get the term id returned. is there a way to get the slug as an end result?

 

 

<?php 

  $term = get_field('acf_term');

if( !empty($term) ): ?>

<div> <asp_info> <strong>

<?php $field_object = get_field_object( 'acf_term', $post->ID ); echo $field_object['label'];?></strong>

<?php the_field('acf_term'); ?> </div>

<?php endif; ?> 

 

this returns : Term slug: 865

 

I want it to return : Term slug: interest-tag-name

 

Thanks for any help.

That depends on the advanced custom fields plugin, may have to add that function in the plugin.

Thanks,

the custom field plugin returns the term id, i figured after it returns the id i can then use that to find the term slug? yes? no?

Have you tried get_term_by()? Looks like it may do what you're looking for. Perhaps?

thanks maxxd,

I tried but i don't think i am writing the code properly.

would you be able to show me how i would incorporate it using my code above?

Sorry i have totally confused myself :-)

In the Examples section it appears to demonstrate how to get the slug.

$term = get_term( $term_id, $taxonomy );

Gives you term slug: e.g.: term-slug-example

$slug = $term->slug;
