[Plugin: Custom Field Template] need help

I fixed this bug in the version 0.9.2. Please try to use it.

[cft] has two display option. One is just a listing based on output = true like [cft template=1]. This is limited to a certain template. The default is template = 0. The other is based on the shortcode format like [cft format=1]. This is not limited to a certain template.

If you set post_id in the shortcode like [cft post_id=3], the custom fields related to post_id=3 are displayed. If you do not specify the post_id like [cft], the custom fields of the current post will be shown.

Do you want to show all custom fileds in posts within a certain category? You have to write some scripts with a loop. This is an example.

<?php
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
echo $custom_field_template->output_custom_field_values(array('post_id' => $post->ID, 'format'=>1));
endwhile;
?>

ah. Horiaki, i′ve to excuse. i downgraded to 0.8 and saw it working, so i upgraded to 0.9.2 (again) and it was working too. i think it was a problem with the browser cache.

EDIT: The Code you gave me is partly working. I get some of the keys of “format #2” a the end again (without / with empty values). it′s only regarding the titles (the stuff that′s not between “[]” ). the rest doesn′t show up.

this is my template (without the template-comment on top of the file):

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php query_posts('post_type=post&cat=15&order=asc'); ?>

<div id="page">
	<div id="slider">
		<ul class="navigation">
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<li><a href="#<?=$post->post_name?>"><span><?php the_title(); ?></span></a></li>
<?php endwhile;?>
		</ul>

		<div class="scrollButtons scrollMeLeft"><a><span>previous</span></a></div>

		<div class="scroll">
			<div class="scrollContainer-aussteller">

				<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
				echo $custom_field_template->output_custom_field_values(array('post_id' => $post->ID, 'format'=>1));
				endwhile; ?>

				<div class="panel-aussteller" id="<?=$post->post_name?>">
					<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
				</div>

			</div>
		</div>

		<div class="scrollButtons scrollMeRight"><a><span>next</span></a></div>

	</div>
</div>

Questions:
#1) Is it possible to use the regular <table>-markup like: border, rowspan, colspan, colgroup, etc.?
#2) Is it possible to use the regular <style>-markup like: width, height, background-color, and so on?
#3) Do you see any possible error causing code-strings in my template? I added your code and left the “endwhile;” out, because i got the endwhile after the title in my original template-file

Thanks for your fast answer and help in this case.

@ Question #1 & #2: i want to use this in admin panel under custom field template options in format #xy

for everyone other reading this: stop thinking in categories – “format” are in this case better than category, or even better: “format” is your category.

Format is only for the frontend. You can not use [cft] shortcode format for the custom field template of post/page edit in admin panel. You can use any html tags and css in the [cft] shortcode format. CFT just do convert [key] to the value of [key]. If the value is empty, the value is blank. About your code, the loop seems to be redundant but I do not have time to check it now. Sorry….

Hi Hiroaki,
the question was about [ctf] short code format for displaying the list in a page/post.
About my code: query: get Posts from Cat; 1st while have posts: posts-menu per page; 2nd while have posts: for displaying the cft-data tables.

Question #1: it seems that the stylesheet of the ctf is overriding parts of my themes stylesheet. Is this possible?
Question #2: Something strange is happening with the table-format. Cells are pretty mixed-up and stuff, that should be on top with the table is downside and other stuff. Ever found something similar happening?

In every case: Thanks for your help and the while-have-posts-string!

Can you please put these instructions for this plug-in with the plugin? I really like it now that I got it working, but it took me several hours to figure out the proper short code formats. I finally found them on this post.

Thanks!!

[cft] has two display option. One is just a listing based on output = true like [cft template=1]. This is limited to a certain template. The default is template = 0. The other is based on the shortcode format like [cft format=1]. This is not limited to a certain template.

If you set post_id in the shortcode like [cft post_id=3], the custom fields related to post_id=3 are displayed. If you do not specify the post_id like [cft], the custom fields of the current post will be shown.
