Not a bad question.
I think they just expected you to notice that it puts all of its data as post meta info, and you would just use the normal get_post_meta functions to retrive them.
If you want to throw a quick example together, I’d be happy to add it to the fork on GitHub.

Yes– I eventually figured it out. I can throw up a quick Gist in a sec…

Great. I’m in the middle of something, but I will work it into the Read Me very soon.
Hello everyone,
I also could use some help using this plugin as I am not a very good php programmer.
Following the link posted by @ankurt I assume that if I create a Field called say “Technical specs” I can then add this to my code:
echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘technical_specs’, 1 ); – and it will work?
Any help appreciated,
Alex
One thing to remember: you have to make sure the “Custom Field Key” is technical_specs. Otherwise, it won’t work.
Also, ankurts snippet works only if you are inside “The Loop”.

Yes.
The “1” means return a string as opposed to an array.

EDIT: yes, only works inside loop because of get_the_ID(), but you can swap this with $post->ID or use any ID you want.
I have added a “Working with More Fields in templates” to the readme.
As always, any additions you’d like to make would be welcome.
