Call a custom field in the loop

Have a look at: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Custom_Fields#Displaying_Custom_Fields

Yes, i have already read it, but i don’t understand ??

this is my loop:

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=6&showposts=8'); ?>
<ul class="friendgallerieslist">
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<li>
<img src="/wp-content/themes/tb/images/img.gif"> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>

i would call the custom link near the title of my post…what i do now ?

Stick this somewhere in there and see if it grabs the link you’re seeking:

<?php get_post_custom_values('syndication_permalink'); ?>

Schulte i ahve tried your tricks but it doesn’t work….i have solved with this:

<?php echo post_custom(‘syndication_permalink’); ?>

Is it possible use a conditional tag for see if the custom field exist ?

Didn’t know about post_custom. Learn something everyday…I don’t think it’s in the Codex…ouch.

I don’t see why you couldn’t check for the presence of the field or at the very least the field length…

is_post_custom would be cool…

Here you go.

$custom = get_post_custom_values('syndication_permalink');
if (count($custom) != 0)
{
// do your thing
echo $custom[0];
// maybe do more things
}
