styling metaData

[JokerMartini]

Hey guys. I’m trying to style the metaData from a wordpress post. I need to make a for loop that goes through all the meta data (if there is some) and style it as follows

(CUSTOME FIELD NAME GOES HERE)

(CUSTOME FIELD VALUE GOES HERE)

So what is your question?

How to style it…or how to achieve the loop?

How to achieve the loop and style it?

get post meta is your friend http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

simple use

and then you get each field from its name saved

you can read how to set the meta boxes here

I’m not exactly sure to how write the for loop and add in my styling divs for the name a value. Could someone help me do that?

[pixelgrid]

the code will work for as many post as you have queried and have these meta keys

[JokerMartini]

Awesome. Thank you very much for the help on this. It’s a keeper for sure.

That didn’t quite work out. It went haywire and listed the post hundreds and hundreds of times.

I want to take each custom field entry and style it. http://jokermartini.com/myStuff/temp.jpg

customfield NAME goes in div class=”detailTitle”>NAME /div
customfield VALUE goes in div class=”detailValue”>VALUE /div

for each custom item on this project/post do…..
div class=”projectDetails”
div class=”detailTitle”>NAME /div
div class=”detailValue”>VALUE /div
/div

This forloop is going on my Single.php

what plugin are you using to add the custom fields?

[JokerMartini]

Nothing. I using the standard one that comes with wp

[pixelgrid]

also to the bottom there is a link saying use them in your theme. did you mind pressing it? im sure it has instructions how to do it

[pixelgrid]

in my code you have to replace the ‘custom_field_1_name’ with ‘Authors’ and the second line to ‘Studio’ did you do that?

[JokerMartini]

alright ill check that out.
Thank you

[JokerMartini]

No I didn’t do that. I wanted it to automatically just continue going through however many custom fields there were.

[pixelgrid]

foreach ($meta as $key => $value){ ?>

try this one
