Pulling custom field data from child pages

[EamonnMac]

Hey guys,

Wondering if this is possible, maybe ye can help me:

I have a list at the bottom of each individual page listing all the other pages of that category (i.e. pages that have the same ‘parent’ page), for which I am using the following code. You can see a live example here: http://oldkitbag.com/cashelbay-wp/past-ponies/jjs-fiona/

Code:

post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=”.$post->post_parent.”&echo=0″);

else

$children = wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=”.$post->ID.”&echo=0″);
if ($children) { ?>

• post_parent)) {
  $parentTitle = get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>
  See all Ponies listed under :
  
  

It works no probs, it just looks crap. Now each of these child pages have custom fields, including thumbnails, and I’m wondering would it be possible to construct a list that not only coughs up the page titles but also the thumbnail custom field for each page as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated – even if it’s just to say its not possible! :D

You gotta run a loop if you want custom fields =)

I came accross the following at http://www.wprecipes.com/wordpress-how-to-get-custom-fields-outside-the-loop. Now, I think they are still running a loop per se – isn’t that what a wp_query is? But anyway, my point is this: could I use this code in some form to echo just the ‘thumbnail’ custom fields and the titles, both suitably permalinked, of all the pages of a given category, as in my original problem?

Quote:

To display a custom field value outside the loop, simply use the following code. Don’t forget to replace customField on line 4 by the name of the custom field you want to display.

Code:

post->ID;
echo get_post_meta($postid, ‘customField’, true);
?>
