adding custom fields

Hi Elliot,

Shall I copy loop-index.php file to enfold-child theme folder?

Hi there,

I have copied the file loop-index.php to the child theme folder added the following code and it does not work – nothing is displayed:

echo get_post_meta( $the_id, 'key', true );

I have 4 custom fields in each language. I need to display them in a specific order under the post title on all pages where t=posts are (eg. blog roll, single post, specific category/tag post)

Below is the code I used in twenty ten a couple of years ago. It illustrates the principle:

<div class="pprow">
		<?php $myid = $post->ID; // Assign this using a variable, or however you were before, eg. $post->ID

		$data = $wpdb->get_results("
		SELECT * FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE post_id = $myid
		AND meta_key NOT LIKE '\_%'
		ORDER by (CASE WHEN meta_key = 'Composed in' THEN 0
				WHEN meta_key = 'Duration' THEN 1
	       			WHEN meta_key = 'Instrumentation' THEN 2
	       			WHEN meta_key = 'Movements' THEN 3 
	       			WHEN meta_key = 'Rok' THEN 4
	       			WHEN meta_key = 'Czas' THEN 5
	       			WHEN meta_key = 'Instrumentacja' THEN 6
	       			WHEN meta_key = 'Części utworu' THEN 7 END)
		"); // meta_key ASC - assign the field to sort e.g. meta_id, meta_key, etc. or specify order using CASE WHEN

		if( !empty( $data ) ) {
			foreach( $data as $result_object ) {
				print '<div class="ppmeta-key">';
				print $result_object->meta_key;
				print ': ';
				print '</div><div class="ppmeta-value">';
				print $result_object->meta_value;
				print '</div>';
				print '<br />';
							}
					}
		?>	
		</div>

Can you please advise how to implement it in Enfold?

Many thanks,
Peter

Hi Elliot,

I think this is misunderstanding. I do not need customization from you and I know that the ‘key’ has to be replaced with my custom field name.

I have 2 questions:

1. I need you to tell me which files need to be changed to have custom fields displayed in a post in a blog roll view, single post view, category view. You have said I need to make changes to /enfold/includes/loop-index.php.

Is this the only file in Enfold theme that is responsible for rendering all the above mentioned post views (blog roll view, single post view, category view, etc.)? Or are there other files that also need editing?

2. You have also mentioned that I can copy /enfold/includes/loop-index.php to the Enfold-child theme folder. I did that and put echo get_post_meta( $the_id, ‘key’, true ); However this does not work. It is only when changes are made to the file located in the main theme /enfold/includes/ that they work but not in the child-theme.

So the second question is how to copy /enfold/includes/loop-index.php to the Enfold-child theme folder, so that changes made to this file in the child-theme actually work?

Hope this explains my problem better than the previous post.

Many thanks again for your help.
I really appreciate it.

P

Hi Elliot,

That made a trick. I created a folder /includes/ in the child theme and it now works.

Many thanks,
Peter
