Creating advanced custom fields structures
-
Hi guys,
Hope you are well. I’m posting here to get some advice on how to achieve advanced custom fields effects, as I can in larger Content Management Systems / Frameworks. Essentially I’d like to create more editable areas on one page. For example, if I want to build a website listing New York hotels, I’d like each page to have:
1x image of the hotel
1x page title
1x main conent text
1x address and contacts area to the right
1x rooms descriptions area to the rightI see I could use pages to achieve this and for the heading and main text I would have no problem. I could also try to use the built in custom fields, but they seem to be limited for what I need. Apparently the_meta() can only be used within the loop and what if I’d like some custom fields to display somewhere else in my HTML code? Also, how could I use these custom fields to create an image field for my hotel photo? And moreover, how could I use the built in custom fields to create more than simple key-value pairs, but more complex pieces of contents, for examole for my rooms descriptions areas where I could have bold, italic, etc?
I hope I’m making sense. I’d love to use WordPress without too many hacks, but it looks like WP is not a complete CMS yet and other systems pop into mind to achieve something like this, like Drupal?
Many thanks in advance for any good advice.
