How can i retrieve my CUSTOM FIELD value? Tried to insert the customfield name used on the EE page, but nothing happened ;( thanks!
<?php
$key_1_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘CUSTOMFIELD’, true );
// check if the custom field has a value
if( ! empty( $key_1_value ) ) {
echo $key_1_value;
}
?>

Hi Klaus,
So that we can give you the best answer, can I ask what it is your trying to do?
From previous posts it looks like your using the CPT feature, alot of the events detail are already available as post meta.
Do you have an example of what your trying to achieve?

Hello,
Currently events are not true custom post types so get_post_meta will not work. Please use this shortcode instead

That works with standard fields, not with my ee_subline custom field (or existing custom fields) ;(
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[EE_META type=”event_meta” name=”event_hashtag”]’); ?>

Did you change the name= to the field name?
E.g. if my custom field is “deans field” then the shortcode would be
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[EE_META type="event_meta" name="deans field"]‘); ?>

yes, that’s why i tried it with your existing “event_hashtag” and added a value, but even that does not work 🙁

Hi Klaus,
I’m wondering if the $event_meta variable is set on the template you are working with. Which template are you working with?

thats my own template, build from scratch. what does the template have to have? other meta fields like the date or event_id are showing up using the shortcode?!

Hi Klaus,
Since we didn’t build your template that you built from scratch, I really don’t see how we can support it. I can advise checking the example templates out that are located in post-type-samples to see how they handle the variables.
