coolstoryI am desperate... About to start crying :(
I went through google and word press function reference pages several times, but still cant solve one simple question:
how to show custom fields if I have the following code (working through shortcode though):
function slider($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'category' => ''
), $atts));
ob_start();
global $post;
$args = array('category' => $category, 'numberposts'=>3, 'order'=>ASC);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
echo'
<div class="flexslider">
<ul class="slides">
';
foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<p class="flex-caption"><?php $id=the_id(); echo get_post_meta($id, 'caption', true);?></p></a>
</li>
<?php
endforeach;
echo'</ul></div>';
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $content;
}
add_shortcode('slider', 'slider');As u can probably see, Im trying to get one custom field for each post in the loop using:
<?php $id=the_id(); echo get_post_meta($id, 'caption', true);?>
But I get just ID numbers of posts. But if I use just
<?php echo get_post_meta(666, 'caption', true);?>
I manually insert some posts ID then I get its custom field "caption".
I simply dont understand whats going on....
