Custom Fields all posts show same content

aahhh, thanks…

it seems whats happening is that when my ‘for each’ loop is ended the custom field breaks and only shows the one field for all pages, it works when it comes before my ‘for each’ loop starts but then its in the wrong place in the page, i cant put it in the for each loop because i then get all custom fields showing…

any idea how i can make it work, after the for each, do i need to start a new loop? you can probably tell im not a php programmer… the only other way to do it is to arrange the elements on the page with css, i will have a play for now, thanks

ok i have the loops sorted, the problem seems to be, im using this code:

<?php
 global $post;
 $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=50&amp;offset=0&amp;category=13');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
 ?>
<li><span style="font-size:0.9em;font-weight:bold;">&raquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><a href="<?php 

the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

to output all posts in my category and when this comes ‘before’ my calling for custom field it

breaks the custom field, if it comes after its ok, so it must be something in this…

any ideas?

thanks

hmmm…. i did that, didnt make any difference, i then tried changing the category=13 in my post list to another category number and my custom field now outputs the fields from that category! so its definately being effected by this, my code now reads:

it works when my custom field output is ‘before’ the postlist but not after

`<?php
$myposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=50&offset=0&category=13’);
foreach($myposts as $post) :
?>

• <span style=”font-size:0.9em;font-weight:bold;”>»  </span>“><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endforeach;?>
</div>

<?php setup_postdata($post);
$right_images = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘right’, true); ?>
<?php echo $right_images; ?>`

no it doesnt work if i put my custom field (right_images) within the ‘foreach’ loop as it outputs all the custom fields for posts in that category, all i want is on each single post page, the custom field for that post is displayed underneath a list displaying all the posts in that category (and links)

Nah, its not happening mate, it already had $post->ID in anyway doesnt make any difference.

there must be some straight forward reason why calling for and outputting all posts in a category breaks anything else that comes after it, none of the names used are the same and ive tried it within the while and if loops and out of the loop, ive tried it in the foreach loop also

i think its time to give up unless anyone has any more ideas.

is there a better way to output a list of all the posts in the current category, complete with links?

thanks, that seems to do the trick, id actually just solved it myself, i looked up the ‘List category posts’ plug in wich almost does what i wanted and found this snippet wich works aswell, thanks for your help

<?php
$result = "<ul>";
$catposts = get_posts('category=13');
foreach($catposts as $single):
	$result .= '<li><span style="font-size:0.9em;font-weight:bold;">&raquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><a href=';
	$result.=get_permalink($single->ID).'>'.$single->post_title.'</a><br />';
	//This displays the title for the post and an end of line (br tag)
	$result .= $single->the_excerpt."\n".'</li>';
	//This displays the first 55 words of the post's content [the_excerpt() function]
endforeach;
$result .= "</ul>";
echo $result;
 ?>
