   Hi WordPressers :)

   I have a custom field property 'BannerImage' for my pages.

   When it's not filled in, it should find the 'BannerImage' of its parent. Is this hard to do?

   Thx for keeping me posted :)

   Kind regards,
   Yannick

   In theory, yes.

   if( !get_post_meta($post_id, 'BannerImage', true) ) $custom_field = get_post_meta($post->parent, 'BannerImage', true);
   else $custom_field = get_post_meta($post_id, 'BannerImage', true);

   Oh esmi,

   Thank you!

   This is what I ended up with:

   if(!get_post_meta($post->ID, 'BannerImage', true)) {
   		$banner_image = get_post_meta($post->post_parent, 'BannerImage', true);
   	} else {
   		$banner_image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'BannerImage', true);
   	}
   	echo '<img src="' . $banner_image . '" />';

   Thx again for the quick help!

   Glad I could help - even if I did get $post->parent wrong (I should have checked first). :-)
