   Hi,
   I've looked around everywhere, but i've yet to find a script to display custom fields from subpages on the main page.I want to create something like the product page of wp-e-commerce, but without all the bloat and things I that aren't needed. Actually using wordpress as a catalog and blog.

   Have you looked at Function_Reference/get_post_custom?

   How would I be able to get the page parent get the custom values of all page children?

   I found a plugin that does exactly what I want, however, I will kkep this thread open, just in case someone else finds a different way of doing this

   I spent really a long time googling this and I also tried the plugin gabesands links to, but still no luck. So I have to raise the question again: How do I display a custom field from a subpage on a parent page? Held would be really appreciated.

   Did you try this? I am not sure if this is what you look for exactly.

   $customs = get_posts('numberposts=-1&post_type=page&post_parent=1&meta_key=test_value');
   foreach($customs as $custom) {
   print get_post_meta($custom->ID, 'test_value', $single = true);
   print '<br />';
   }

   Querying posts that are "pages" and child of ID 1 and returning pages only with custom field "test_value" then prints the value of custom key in a loop.

   Thanks a lot, that did the trick.

   A related question: I have several subpages with film reviews, each page has the custom field "regisseur" (=director), the title of the page is the respective film title. What I want is that all reviews are displayed as a a list. This works in principle with the following code:

   <?php  $customs = get_posts('numberposts=-1&post_type=page&post_parent=28&sort_column=post_title&order=ASC');
   foreach($customs as $custom) {
   
   $post_id_art = get_post($custom->ID, ARRAY_A);
   $title = $post_id_art['post_title'];
   $url = $post_id_art['guid'];
   print "<a href=\"";
   print $url;
   print "\"><em class=\"Film\">";
   print $title;
   echo "</em></a>";
   echo " von ";
   print get_post_meta($custom->ID, 'Regisseur', $single = true);
   print '<br />';
   } ?>

   See here

   The problem is the sort order: I want the list displayed in alphabetical order. For some reason "&sort_column=post_title&order=ASC" is just ignored, instead the list is sorted by the pages IDs.

   Any ideas?
