   My custom fields is not working just wondering if I'm doing something incorrect...

   This is the function in the functions.php...

   function get_custom_field_value($szKey, $bPrint = false) {
   	    global $post;
   	    $szValue = get_post_meta($post->ID, $szKey, true);
   	    if ( $bPrint == false ) return $szValue; else echo $szValue;
   }

   And then this is how it looks on my category.php for where I'd like to put the custom function...

   <?php
        $key = 'sidecolumn';
        $meta_field = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, $single = true);
        echo $meta_field;
   ?>

   Is there anything else I am missing?

   Thanks,

   Mike

   Not sure what your question is since you are not calling get_custom_field_value in category.php.

   I would suspect that $post->ID is not set. Try echoing out "ID:$post->ID" to be sure it has a value.

   I still don't understand what get_custom_field_value is for. You are not calling it, so it is not being used here.
