I added a custom field key code in my pages template with a style (.imgcred) that includes a grey background colour. The style is showing (as a grey little box) even when I don’t add that custom field when I create the page. The custom field is “imgcenterlabel”. 1) This is the code I added initially: <div align="center"> <div class="imgcred"> <?php $key="imgcenterlabel"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?> </div> </div> 2) Then I inserted the DIV inside the php code but the grey box were still there: <div align="center"> <?php $key = "imgcenterlabel"; $value = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); if ($value != "") echo '<div class="imgcred">'; echo $value . ""; echo '</div>'; ?> </div> 3) This is the class I am using: .imgcred { font-size: .9em; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; font-weight: regular; font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; width: 418px; background-color:#F3F2F0; text-align:center; } 4) My page.php: I added a custom field key code in my pages template with a style (.imgcred) that includes a grey background colour.

To create customised 'Pages' in wordpress, simply use put all your codes into a php file and make it a customised page template (just by adding template comment at the top. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates)" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates)</a> Then in WP control panel, Edit Page> Attribute > Template > choose your customised page template This way, you don't even need to use Exec-php to execute php codes in posts. Just leave the content blank and put all your content in the customised page template. hope this helps someone out there. cheers. p.s, i am still curious how to solve my previous problem. if anyone knows, do leave a comment. thanks. noyu on "Not show entire posts in Customised Page" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/335049#post-1291967 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:24:09 +0000 noyu 1291967@http://wordpress.org/support/ Situation: 1. I'm using Exec-PHP plugin to allow using php in my Pages. 2. I save my Pages codes in an external php file and in my 'edit Page', I link it like so: <code><? require_once(ABSPATH. '/wp-content/custom-php/my_custom_page.php'); ?></code> as suggested by someone online. 3. I'm using custom fields to retrieve and display only some info from 3 specific posts (i.e thumbnail and a short description). Problem: I am able to display my custom fields. However, I also end up showing the 3 posts entirely at the end of my custom fields. How do I prevent wordpress from showing the entire post automatically. I am not very good with php, and work through trial and error, but got stuck at this for too long already. If anyone can give me some insight, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! Code: page.php <pre><code><?php get_header(); ?> <?php include("menu.php"); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <div class="entry"> <?php the_content('Read the rest of this page &raquo;'); ?> <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'after' => '', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?> </div> <?php endwhile; endif; ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '', ''); ?> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?></code></pre> my_custom_page.php <pre><code><?php query_posts(array('post__in' => array(14,17,20))); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); global $post; $fdesc = get_post_meta($post->ID, "desc", TRUE); /* define the custom field with key = desc */ ?> <div class="" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <?php echo $fdesc; ?> </div> <?php endwhile; ?></code></pre> One interesting thing is, I tried this code in page.php in one of my theme <pre><code><?php if (have_posts()): ?> <?php the_content('Read the rest of this page &raquo;'); ?> <?php endif; ?></code></pre> and that seemed to solve the problem, but when i changed to my new theme, this code shows a blank page (i.e not able to direct to my custom page). beradmin on "How to add image to a page using custom field" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/334610#post-1291604 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:30:49 +0000 beradmin 1291604@http://wordpress.org/support/ You are great!

I have added different codes and it doesn’t work or it adds the URL if it was a text instead of adding the image. I want to add images to my page using Custom Fields. Not a loop, just a simple single image. I am new to WordPress and not good at all in PHP. I am just taking over a website that is published already. Here it is my page template (I have 2 custom fields set up already: rss and extra): <?php get_header(); ?> <div id="content"> <? $toplevelid = $post->ID; if ($post->post_parent) { $toplevelid = $post->post_parent; $toplevel = get_page($toplevelid); if($toplevel->post_parent) { $toplevelid = $toplevel->post_parent; } } ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?><?php echo get_the_title($toplevelid); ?></h1> <div class="entry"> <?php $key="extra"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?> <?php $key="rss"; $feedURL = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); if ($feedURL) { $feed = new SimplePie($feedURL); $item = $feed->get_item(); print $item->get_content(); } ?> <?php the_content('Read the rest of this page »'); ?> <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'after' => '', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?> </div> <?php endwhile; endif; ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '', ''); ?> </div> </div> </div> <?php get_footer(); ?> jvinch on "Display posts with the same custom field value as the current post" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/334007#post-1288964 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:57:31 +0000 jvinch 1288964@http://wordpress.org/support/ You may want to look at using custom taxonomies for this. <a href="http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/05/06/custom-taxonomies-in-wordpress-28" rel="nofollow">http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/05/06/custom-taxonomies-in-wordpress-28</a> It would work the way you envisioned with tags and categories more or less out of the box.

I have given my posts a set of custom fields, for instance: project_type = magazine. These fields are then displayed in the post on my site. I'd like to be able to turn that field value in each post into a link that, when clicked, would take the user to listing of all posts of that project type. The same way that clicking a tag or category would take you to all posts with that tag or category. I just can't figure out how to accomplish this, though.

This custom field will serve as an external link to place anywhere in my theme. On the theme, (typically single.php) <pre><code><?php $elink = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'elink', true); ?> <?php echo $elink ?></code></pre> Now, if I were to use a normal Post editor, I would have to key in 'elink' in the Name field and the Url in the Value field. This works like charm. I'm able to see my link on the Single.php (theme) The bad news is, I still haven't got it to play nicely with "Press This" What I did was 1. Add the following line in wp-admin/press-this.php, line :559 <pre><code>Link: <input name="elink" type="text" id="elink" class="mceEditor" style="width:100%;" value="<?php echo $url; ?>"/></code></pre> (this basically inserts URL into an input field.) 2. Add this to press-this.php, line: 48 <pre><code>$elink = $_REQUEST['elink'];</code></pre> (this is supposed to declare $elink as a varible) The problem I am having is, the URL is not sticking to the post. In other words, it's not inserted into the database. I'm not a programmer, so please let me know where I screwed up.

I have been trying to exclude certain pages from the mobile version if it has a custom field (e.g. key=for mobile value=no). I wanted to do this in the loop through wp_query() because there is a menu generation in the page that needs to exlude these pages too. I can see how to do this inclusively, but I've hit a bit of a wall and could do with a helping hand! (I could easily be pursuaded to do the same through a tag (e.g. notMobile) if it is easier.)

Yes it is. This is a forum. It is not an Instant Messenger. You may have to wait a day or two for an answer. I'm not good at php and I don't know your theme so I can't help. I find it easiest to subscribe to rss feeds here so I can see when people post answers to my questions.

It is working! I have added a cutom field value and key check and my content appears only on correct page now. That's exactly what I wanted. However original content disappeared on all other pages and posts. <pre><code>function load_runninglog() { global $post; $custom_field_key = 'load_runninglog'; $one_custom_field_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, $custom_field_key, true); if ($one_custom_field_value == 'races') { $content = 'It works! for post id '. $post->ID; } return $content; }</code></pre> How can I avoid messing up with other content? moonfu on "Where do I put this snippet I found." http://wordpress.org/support/topic/332722#post-1284463 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:38:58 +0000 moonfu 1284463@http://wordpress.org/support/ Any ideas? I'm just needing a simple answer so I can try it out. If it's to vague of a post just let me know. thanks moonfu on "Where do I put this snippet I found." http://wordpress.org/support/topic/332722#post-1284417 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:54:58 +0000 moonfu 1284417@http://wordpress.org/support/ This code snippet was marked as incomplete but I want to have this work on my WPtube3 theme I'm using with the video swiper plugin activated. The tube theme from freewptube has a thumb custom field function but the videoswiper plugin overrides the field "thumb" if created in the post.conflicting custom fields? I'm not sure why. I'm new I guess. I thought this snippet might help but I don't know where to put it. or if it will work. If anyone can tell me a solution or how to use this code I would appreciate it. <?php function prefix_get_image_thumb($post_id) { global $wpdb; $attachment_id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$post_id' AND post_status = 'inherit' AND post_type='attachment' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1"); $thumb = get_attachment_icon($attachment_id); echo $thumb; } ?> MichaelH on "custom field content question" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/332507#post-1284361 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:53:18 +0000 MichaelH 1284361@http://wordpress.org/support/ Use global $post <pre><code>function load_runninglog() { global $post; $content = "It's working! for post id ". $post->ID; $custom_field_key = 'cf1' $one_custom_field_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, $custom_field_key, true); return $content; } add_filter('the_content', 'load_runninglog');</code></pre> dovydas on "custom field content question" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/332507#post-1284334 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:24:40 +0000 dovydas 1284334@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hi, What I am actually trying to achieve is to have a separate page where my data could be displayed. At first I wanted the plugin to create a page automatically (by entering page name in options menu) but it seems not possible. So a user will have to create a page himself and add a custom field with function from plugin. Then this function will display content in that page. I have found working example in another plugin, however I'm struggling to adapt it to my needs. <pre><code>function load_runninglog($content) { if (is_page()) { $cust_values = get_post_custom_values($this->runninglog_show); if ($cust_values != NULL) { $log_target = $cust_values[0]; $content = $this->display_runninglog($log_target); } } return $content; } function display_runninglog($log_target) { echo "It's working!" }</code></pre> I get the following error. Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/running-log/running-log.php on line 264. I understand I need to get classes involved here. However I'm trying to avoid them as classes go beyond my meager programming knowledge. Is there a way to pass the post id into the function and test if the custom field exists for that post id without using classes?
