   Hi,

   When we add a category, we have the following fields:

   Category Name
   URL Name
   Parent Category
   Description

   The question is, how can I add custom fields to it and how can i display them in the single post showing the category(es) custom values this post belongs to.

   Is there any plugin out there that do this job ? What if a post belongs to more than 1 category. The function get_the_gategory_field('<custom_field>') will return an array of pair 'field_key'=>'field_value'

   Hoping a quick answer, Regards, Ed

   Sorry, not a quick answer, and not a good one either as I'm not aware of such a plugin. However, see the end of this thread:

   Beyond that, if you do not use the category description field for anything -- well, specifically for these two template tags:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/category_description
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

   You could hack together a solution using it.

   Extending custom fields to all components of ones blog (categories, links, comments) is an occasionally requested feature (as the first link demonstrates), and one I'd like to see as well.

   I was looking for a similar plugin but since I couldn't find it decided to develop it ;)
