How to? Pre-filled custom fields

Hi Hiperciencia,
What you are referring to in your last post would be a PHP conditional. This would look something like this:

<?php
$variable_name = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘custom_field_key’, true);
if ($variable_name == ”) {
echo ‘THIS IS THE DEFAULT IF THE CUSTOM FIELD IS EMPTY’;
} else {
echo $variable_name;
}
?>

The above code uses the get_post_meta() function to get the value of the custom field with the name specified in place of ‘custom_field_key’. This value is then checked to see if it’s empty. If it is, it displays a default string. Otherwise, it displays the value of the custom field.

This code is rough and can be refined somewhat. For more information, visit the Codex section of custom fields.

I hope this helps. 🙂

Cheers,
Matty.
