displaying Subtitles in theme modules

    Hello,
    as a non-coder I’m pretty puzzled on how to get the subtitles displayed inside my portfolio-modules (theme newspaper) since
    <?php echo $this->get_subtitle();?>
    is not working there.

    I’ve helplessly tried lots of custom template calls but i figured now that the subtitles should be called in this kind of fashion (of course this example is concerning some other theme-related subtitle-type):

    <?php $td_subtitle_module = get_post_meta($this->post->ID, ‘td_post_theme_settings’, true); ?>
    <p class=”td-sub-title”><?php if(!empty($td_subtitle_module[‘td_subtitle’])){echo $td_subtitle_module[‘td_subtitle’];} ?></p>

    all I understand here (from reading about displaying custom fields) is that the postmeta must be called based on the very post ID, but I’m stuck. Could you give me a lift please?
    Any help is highly appreciated! Cheers

    Hi again,

    Thanks again for your patience. Without knowing a ton about the theme that you’re using, I’d like to ask if you saw this snippet about custom template tags in the plugin documentation? It goes over how to retrieve a subtitle from a template file when the automatic subtitle isn’t spit out onto the page.

    Let me know and we’ll take it from there. Also, a quick heads up that I live in Vietnam and generally do not work on weekends. So, timezone issues may be a problem here. I’ll likely get back around to answering you tomorrow, my time.

    Have a wonderful Saturday.

    Cheers,
    Philip

    Hello,
    thanks for your kind reply.
    as stated in my initial post I had aleady tried the custom template tags – to no avail.
    they just didn’t grab the subtitle into portfolio-modules (which are considered to be outside of the loop) on the front page.
    to complete this thread (also for others) I want to show what I found to be working – just by combining the (above) mentioned method (that worked for some other theme-related subtitle)- at the very spot – with the information I took from the documentation and this forum (regarding the names of the subtitle-meta-key etc.):

    <?php $subtitle = get_the_subtitle($this->post->ID, ‘_subtitle’, true); ?>
    <p class=“entry-subtitle”><?php echo $subtitle;?>

    cheers!

    Thanks so much for updating me about this. I’ll look into getting these incorporated into the documentation so other users don’t face the headaches that you did getting this up and running. I’ll mark this resolved but if there’s anything else you need don’t hesitate to let us know.

    Cheers,
    Philip
