soliloquy( the_field( 'slider' ) );

This is my code to add the ID for a slider from a ACF number field to a slider function call however it outputs the ID and doesn't execute the soliloquy function.

I think it might have something to do with the single qoutes.

Not sure how to wrap the slider ID in single qoutes

soliloquy( the_field( 'slider' ) );

You need to use get_field() function instead. It will RETURN the value instead of printing. So, your code will be:

soliloquy( get_field( 'slider' ) );

This works but i prefer to use the ACF specific custom field function

soliloquy( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'slider', true ) );
