    Hi, (this plugin is really awesome and i have a range of feature requests ?? )

    Is there a method where i can get the meta info on the front end?

    For example in my template i say something like this:

    get_meta_info(PLACE META ID HERE);
    like:
    get_meta_info(‘picture’);

    And it returns an array with this information:

    label, type, description

    What i want to do is to show the label on the front end and then the meta value. But i want it to be dynamic so whenever i change the label in back end i dont have to change my template files too.

    I noticed this little nice function in the source code that returns the label:

    [ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

    function ot_get_meta_label( $id ) {
  if ( empty( $id ) )
    return false;
  $settings = get_option('rj'.ot_settings_id());
  if ( empty( $settings['settings'] ) )
    return false;
  foreach( $settings['settings'] as $setting ) {
    if ( $setting['id'] == $id && isset( $setting['label'] ) ) {
      return $setting['label'];
    }
  }
}

    This can be used to retrieve the description field as well:

    function ot_get_meta_desc( $id ) {
  if ( empty( $id ) )
    return false;
  $settings = get_option('rj'.ot_settings_id());
  if ( empty( $settings['settings'] ) )
    return false;
  foreach( $settings['settings'] as $setting ) {
    if ( $setting['id'] == $id && isset( $setting['desc'] ) ) {
      return $setting['desc'];
    }
  }
}

    Hope that helps a fellow dev.
