# Example Usage

The extension's return value is an array of key/pair values. The key contains the file's post-ID, while the value contains the URL of the file itself. It will be necessary to use a for/each loop to extract the values (Please remember to replace redux_demo with your own opt_name argument).

# Using the API

$data = Redux::get_option( 'OPT_NAME', 'opt-multi-media' );

foreach ( $data as $id => $url ) {
    echo 'Post ID: ' . $id;
    echo 'URL: '     . $url;
}

# Using the Global variable

global $redux_demo;

foreach ( $redux_demo['opt-multi-media'] as $id => $url ) {
    echo 'Post ID: ' . $id;
    echo 'URL: '     . $url;
}

# The get_extended_data Helper Function

The Multi Media extension includes a helper function to extract a wide variety of data for any post ID passed to it. To take advantage of this function, use the following code (to get a post ID, use the code above in conjunction with the code below):

// the $id variable assumes a valid post ID.
$ext_data = ReduxFramework_extension_multi_media::get_extended_data( $id )

The return value will contain an array of the follow data in key/pair format:
id
title
filename
url
link
alt
author
description
caption
name
status
uploadedTo
date
modified
menuOrder
mime
type
subtype
