    Hello,
    I added a custom file upload input and I would like the uploaded image to be the post’s featured image. What is the best way to code this?
    I found a relevant file: widget-listing-listview.php and I also saw that the basic code is:

    

    $contact= geodir_get_post_meta($post,’geodir_contact’,true);
echo $contact;
    

    However I need to set the functionality of the custom file upload output so it would take the first image and set it as the post’s featured image. Basically it needs the same functionality that the built-in photos input has.
    
Thank you!

    Hello,
    

    this functionality is built in to GDV2 with the Logo field. If a file is uploaded to it, it will show in the listings view as the first image.
    

    For GDV1, this is a customization and requires editing several core files which is not recommended as the updates will be overwritten.
    

    The procedure to customize templates is outlined here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-geodirectory-templates/
    

    I will flag your question for the developers to see what additional guidance they can provide.
    

    To try GDV2 see: https://wpgeodirectory.com/try-geodirectory-v2/
    

    At least this will require editing 
    

    listing-detail.php
    
listing-listview.php

    Hello There,
    

    Use following code snippet (replace geodir_myfile with your field name).
    

    echo geodir_cf_file( '', '', 'geodir_myfile', $post );

    Thank you Kiran, unfortunately the code doesn’t work..
    
Regarding your reply, Alex, thank you. For now I would just like to know how to display any output of a custom file upload input (with the HTML variable and the geodir_get_post_meta function).

    Hello,
    

    Snippet i have provided is used to output particular field. I have tested on my test site and it worked fine.
    
For detailed code check this: https://github.com/GeoDirectory/geodirectory/blob/master/geodirectory-functions/custom_fields_output_functions.php#L1221

    You need to use the geodir_ prefix.
