So you’ve just run a query and a loop?
<?php query_posts( 'post_type=page&meta_value=indoor' ); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
In it’s simplest. Would pull pages, with a meta value (not key) of indoor…
Haven’t tested, but just wanna see what you’ve tried…..
I have tried that or something similar. It pulls the thumbnail and the title but not the excerpt.
Thanks!
Oh right…. I think pages do not have excerpts…
You could run a filter on the_content to limit output I would think…
I’m able to do it when not using custom fields and just pulling from the post_parent. I think this code may be messy as well. I simply modified the array to pull the ID from current page.
<?php
$args=array(
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1,
'post_parent' => $post->ID
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php
$imageurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imageurl', true);
if ($imageurl) { ?>
<?php } else {?>
<div class="entry-content">
<div style="float:left;">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
</div>
<div style="float:right; width:350px;">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
<?php the_tags('<div> ', ', ', '</div>'); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php
}
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();
?>
Opp ok, found the problem <?php the_excerpt; ?> needed to be <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Thank you for the help!
lol….sorry about the dumb typo!
Regarding separating values with a comma. Some of these products are going to have multiple value but the loop only needs to display one at a time. In this instance it would be “indoor” when the product may have “daynight, network, indoor” I read the post that you were kind enough to recommend but I’m unsure how to implement it in this instance.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/seperate-multiple-values-in-get_post_meta-with-commas?replies=3
so… the product custom field would have a key of “indoor”
and values of “daynight”, “network”, “indoor” all assigned
But you only want a certain value showing/in use? I’m not sure I’m totally following….
Sorry, it would have the name=Type and value=indoor, outdoor, etc
And this loop would pull all devices with the value indoor.
It doesn’t seem to work with I add the comma separated fields.
I could really use some help on this one. I’ve found information on how to create multiple custom fields and how to query multiple types but nothing on how to query multiple values from a single meta_type.
For example I have the meta_type as “product” and it has the meta_value “indoor, outdoor, daynight” I then have the loop.
<?php query_posts( 'post_type=page&meta_value=outdoor' ); ?>
It simply doesn’t recognize that outdoor is a value.
I’ve tried a number of things (not that I have a perfectly clear understanding) but they all run me in circles and generally break.
Any ideas or direction would be very useful. Thanks again

I think the solution may involve this….. that’s as far as I’ve gotten….but figured I’d point you down the path I’m looking at
Yeah…I got nuthin…
I can hold the values in an array….. just not sure how to check if a value exists in the array for use in your loop….
Hopefully someone else hops in to steer, so I can learn too….
