saving and displaying embedded video in WooCommerce / WC Vendor Pro - php

Question

I have added a custom text field to woocommerce and also displayed it in the frontend of WC Vendor pro. So vendors can add a youtube or vimeo link to embed their movies.
However for some reason I can't get it to save and display in the product page on the front end.
The code I have so far in functions.php:
// Display Fields
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_general_product_data', 'woo_add_custom_general_fields' );
// Save Fields
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'woo_add_custom_general_fields_save' );
function woo_add_custom_general_fields() {
global $woocommerce, $post;
echo '<div class="options_group">';
// Text Field
woocommerce_wp_text_input(
array(
'id' => 'video_url',
'label' => __( 'Your product video link (youtube/vimeo)', 'woocommerce' ),
'placeholder' => 'https://',
'desc_tip' => 'true',
'description' => __( 'Copy the Youtube or Vimeo link here', 'woocommerce' )
)
);
echo '</div>';
}
function woo_add_custom_general_fields_save( $post_id ){
// Text Field
$woocommerce_text_field = $_POST['video_url'];
if( !empty( $woocommerce_text_field ) )
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'video_url', esc_attr( $woocommerce_text_field ) );
}
And to display the field in the vendor section:
<div class="all-100">
<!-- Media uploader -->
<div class="wcv-product-media">
<?php BuddyBoss_BM_Templates::product_media_uploader( $object_id ); ?>
<?php woo_add_custom_general_fields( $object_id ); ?>
</div>
</div>
So now vendors can enter the field. However saving nor displaying it won't work. I added the following to the product page:
echo $youtubevideo_code = wp_oembed_get( get_field('video_url') );
// tried this one as well:
echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video_url', true );
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Assuming you use acf to use get_field, i think you miss the second parameter $post_id, the function need to know the post id of the field you want to get.
echo $youtubevideo_code = wp_oembed_get( get_field('video_url') );
You must right it like this
global $post; // I don't know where is your script (in the loop ? in a function ?)
$youtubevideo_code = wp_oembed_get( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'video_url', true )); // can be get_field('video_url, $post->ID);
echo $youtubevideo_code;
