How to pass custom field value to shortcode?

Question

I want to call custom field in single.php template to complete a short code and thus show a menu.

I places the below code but it is not working

<?php echo do_shortcode("[custommenu menu=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘tabmenu’, true); ?>]?>")

I believe you forgot to add quotes around the menu parameter.

<?php $post_meta_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'tabmenu', true);
echo do_shortcode('[custommenu menu="'.$post_meta_value.'"]'); ?>

Try using this code. Hope this will work.

$post_meta_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'tabmenu', true);
echo do_shortcode('[custommenu menu='.$post_meta_value.']');
