[Plugin: CPT-onomies: Using Custom Post Types as Taxonomies] Pull assigned custom post type meta dat

Hi Rachel,

Once again, great plugin.

Using your movies and actors scenario, I have custom meta attached to both (e.g., release date for movies and age for actors).

I have a template page to list all movies. For each movie, I want to list the actors and their ages.

How do I retrieve the post and custom meta information from an attached CPT-onomy while in the loop?

Thanks!

Here you go! Hope this helps!

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

   ?><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2><?php

   // retrieves the actors assigned to this movie
   $actors = wp_get_object_terms( get_the_ID(), 'actors' );
   if ( $actors ) {
      ?><ul><?php
         foreach( $actors as $actor ) {

            // if you wanted to retrieve the post info for each actor
            $actor_post = get_post( $actor->term_id );

            // retrieves the 'age' custom post meta
            $age = get_post_meta( $actor->term_id, 'age', true );

            ?><li><?php echo $actor->name; if( $age ) echo ' - ' . $age; ?></li><?php

         }
      ?></ul><?php
   }

   the_content();

endwhile; endif; ?>

Thanks Rachel. This is what I was looking for. I ended up finding likely an equivalent way to do this using variations of the functions you have here, namely get_the_terms (in place of wp_get_object_terms) and get_post_custom (as opposed to get post meta). My guess is that both do the same.
