   I am running across a problem where I would like to use data from my Custom Fields for use in my TITLE -

   ie:

   [theTitle()] at [custom_field_1_shop] in [custom_field_2_city], [custom_field_3_state]
   would read:

   HotDogs at Nathan's Hot Dogs in New York, NY

   Here is the code I am using to generate my title currently:

   <title>
   
   <?php if (is_home () ) {
   	bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php bloginfo('description');
   } elseif ( is_category() ) {
       single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo('name');
   } elseif (is_single() ) {
   
           single_post_title();
   		echo the_ID();
   		echo "at ";
   		echo $custom_field_1_shop;
   		echo " in ";
   		echo $custom_field_2_city;
   		echo ",";
   		echo $custom_field_3_state;
   
   } elseif (is_page() ) {
       bloginfo('name'); echo ': '; single_post_title();
   } else {
       wp_title('',true);
   } ?>
   </title>

   thanks for the help!
   much appreciate!

   <title> is not part of the Loop and the post meta (custom field) functions need to be in the Loop. This is why the easiest option is to just use a custom title plugin for this (the same thing goes for meta descriptions and meta keywords).

   the only problem with those custom title plugins is that they still only let you access general objects like post title and post author. None of them (that I have found) let you tap into the posts actual meta data or custom fields.
