Pass tag parameter via custom fields

This seems to be working for me:

[catlist customfield_name=”whatever_name” customfield_value=”whatever_value”]

From the plugin description:

custom fields – To use custom fields, you must specify two values: customfield_name and customfield_value. Using this only show posts that contain a custom field with this name and value. Both parameters must be defined, or neither will work.

customfield_display – Display custom field(s). You can specify many fields to show, separating them with a coma.

Thanks for the reply, but i need to populate the content of tag=”” with a custom field.

I use a text widget in sidebar with [catlist tag=”$customfield_value” numberposts=5 excludeposts=this] inside. In this way i can change the content of tag=”” by adding a custom field in post.
