• Hi all, I’m using WordPress as a CMS for a music agency site at daviesmusic.com and have lots of extra information for the various artists via custom fields. So far, I’ve just retrieved the custom field values one by one, like so:

    <?php
        //audio title
        $audio_title = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'audio_name', true);
        if ($audio_title) :
    ?>
    
    <p><?php echo $audio_title; ?></p>

    This works fine, only I have lots of custom fields that all require different outputs. I have for instance a photo for the artist, an audio file, the title of the audio file and some notes about the audio file, like so:

    <?php
        //profile image
        $profile_pic = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'profileimage', true);
        if($profile_pic) :
    ?>
    
    <img class="post-thumb-single" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $profile_pic; ?>&a=t&h=278&w=278&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
    
    <?php
        endif;
        //photographer
        $photographer = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'photographer', true);
        if($photographer) :
    ?>
    
    <p id="photographer">Photographer: <b><?php echo $photographer; ?></b></p>
    
    <?php
        endif;
        //audio title
        $audio_title = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'audio_title', true);
        if ($audio_title) :
    ?>
    
        <h4>Audio files</h4>
    
        <p><?php echo $audio_title; ?></p>
    
    <?php
        //audio file
        $audio = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'audiofile', true);
        if ($audio) :
    ?>
    
    <p class="audio" id="audioplayer_1">Sorry, there was a problem loading the file.</p>
    <script>AudioPlayer.embed("audioplayer_1", {soundFile: "<?php echo $audio; ?>"});</script>
    
    <?php
        $audio_credits_1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'audio_credits_1', true);
        if ($audio_credits_1) :
      ?>
    
        <p class="audio_cred"><?php echo $audio_credits_1; ?></p>
    
    <?php
        endif; endif; endif;
     ?>

    Lots of code. I’m sure there must be a more efficient way to retrieve the values! Any ideas?!

    Cheers
