Toolset and FluentCart

Is anyone successfully using Toolset (it's similar to Advanced Custom Fields) with FluentCart to add custom fields to products (and display them)?

If so, please share your best practices, with my grateful thanks!

Create a single product template in Bricks, and then use shortcodes to add any ACF custom fieldsοΌ›without Bricks, you can also use hooks to add custom fields https://dev.fluentcart.com/guides/frontend

winchell321Β I have created a custom field type in Toolset (remember, I'm not using ACF; Toolset is like ACF; it's a similar, and similarly mature, plugin suite). And sure, I could easily add a short code element in my Bricks single product template. The problem is that the custom field doesn't show up in the back-end FluentCart product creation / editing page.

Matthew SelznickΒ Actually, the custom fields created with ACF do appear on the product edit page, but only visible within the content editorβ€”just click inside, scroll down, and you'll see them.

winchell321Β Again, I'm not using ACF, I'm using Toolset. However, yes, I do now see the option to use the standard editor in the Long Description... and I can add the video shortcode for Toolset (which does nothing, unfortunately). However, simply adding the YouTube URL on its own line does embed the video, which is standard WordPress behavior. Great... except...

It doesn't show up anywhere EXCEPT in the content editor -- not on the live site, not in the product long description editor. It's as if the two things aren't talking to each other.
