[Plugin: Custom Content Type Manager] Displaying Custom Fields from One Content Type in Another Cont

  • Hi guys. Just want to say that this plugin rocks in so many ways from functionality to user interface. It’s really letting us step up our game in developing WordPress sites. Thanks for your contribution.

    I looked the forum but did not find anything to do what I am trying to do…I am using the plugin to build an event plugin for a local area. The plan in general is:

    1. Create a ‘place’ custom post type that stores name, google geo coordinates, phone number, etc.

    2. Create an ‘event host’ custom post type that stores name and contact info of local bands and DJs.

    3. Create an ‘event’ custom post type that stores the event details plus a selector to choose from the existing ‘places’ and ‘event hosts’ so the details don’t have to be re-entered every time a host posts a new event or every time a bar lists a new event.

    Is there a code snippet I can use in my single-event.php file to get the custom post meta data from ‘places’ and ‘event hosts’ for the item that was selected through the relational field for these custom post types?

    Thanks again for your work so far!

    Thanks for the shouts out.

    Per your question, that’s what the get_custom_field() and print_custom_field() functions are for: they facilitate accessing the post meta data. Have you looked at the sample template code that’s generated for you under CCTM –> Content Types –> Sample Templates? In your template file, you can use the “get_post” output filter to get every trifling little detail out of the related place or host. See https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/wiki/get_post_OutputFilter

    E.g.

    $host = get_custom_field('host:get_post');
print $host['post_title'];
print $host['phone_number'];
// etc...
