Install WordPress locally–XAMPP is a good environment http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

See Installing WordPress

Not seeing your problem, at least with Cimy User Extra Fields.

Maybe another plugin is causing the problem.

Might check trac to see what’s going on there.

Create two Pages, then assuming those are page id 5 and 108 something in a Page Template like:

<?php
//not sure how out of stock is determined...
if ($out_of_stock == 'yes') {
$use_page = '5';
} else {
$use_page = '108';
}
$args=array(
  'page_id' => $use_page,
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($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_content();
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

Just change the query args

$args=array(
  'post_type' => 'your custom post type here',
  'orderby' => 'title',
  'order' => 'ASC',
  'posts_per_page'=>-1,
  'caller_get_posts'=>1
);

At the least, showposts should be posts_per_page

Not sure when the value would be different but:

$value = 'value1';
.
.
.
'meta_value' => $value,

Not much of a solution but did try to fix it a little
