   I am about the create a template page with a full list of all the post headlines of the blog (code follows ...).

   Now I want to have after each post the value of a custom field. The name of the custom field is "Region" and a Value for example is "London" ...

   So I have to add something in or after
   <?php wp_get_archives('type=alpha'); ?>
   right?

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: List
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div class="content">
   
   	<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   
   <div class="post">
   
   <?php wp_get_archives('type=alpha'); ?>
   
   </div>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php
   get_sidebar();
   get_footer();
   ?>

   Can't do that with wp_get_archives. You'd need to do your own query_posts() loop and then display the custom field for each post.

   This will list all post titles and the associated custom fields:
   

   <?php
       $args=array(
         'post_type' => 'post',
         'post_status' => 'publish',
         'posts_per_page' => -1,
         'caller_get_posts'=> 1
         );
       $my_query = null;
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo 'List of Posts';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
         <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
           the_meta();
         endwhile;
       }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   Sweet - was looking for something like this for a while. Just a quick question, how do I limit the query from only returning posts that belong to a specific category?

   I tried adding:

   'post_category' => array(68)

   to the args array but it did not filter my results to limit posts only from category ID 68...

   Thanks in advance.

   Please disregard - I ust figured out I should use:

   'cat' => 68,

   instead of:

   'post_category' => array(68)
