   Hi,

   I'm trying to get a custom field data to display in a php statement.

   I'm using flickr rss and I want the part in bold to be the content of a custom field - any ideas?

   <?php get_flickrRSS(array('set' => '72157601681097311', 'num_items' => 6, 'type' => 'set', 'id' => '30735063@N03')); ?>

   thanks, Ross

   For retrieving custom field data, see get_post_meta.

   Which post do you want to get the meta data from? and what's the name of the custom field you want data from?

   I'd imagine you want something like this then..
   

   <?php
   // Get post meta data
   $custom_field = get_post_meta( $post->ID , 'flickr_gallery' , true );
   
   // Check if we have data
   if( $custom_field ) {
   
   	// We have data, do the thingy
   	get_flickrRSS( array( 'set' => $custom_field , 'num_items' => 6 , 'type' => 'set' , 'id' => '30735063@N03' ) );
   
   }
   // End if
   ?>
