[Plugin: Custom Field Template] Am I missing something?

I cannot get anything to display on a standard page.

Did you add output = true to the template for the items you want to display?

Ah, no I did not! Thanks a million!

Where do we do that?

In the actual template code. So, in his example code it would be:

[Plan]

type = text

size = 35

label = Where are you going to go?

output = true

I am new to this plugin, and use custom fields a lot.

So with the example above how would I go about displaying the outputter text as there is no key to select a certain field.

I would normally do this
get_post_custom_values('custom-text');

The example that I posted? The “key” is “plan”. So you would output it with shortcode like so:

[cft key=Plan]

This doesn’t work when putting it into the actually code php page.

I have tried finding a manual for the plugin, do you know of one?

This is a good article.

You don’t put it into the actual code php page when you’re using shortcodes – you have the users put it into your post content. If you want to do it via php code, then, yes, you’d use the get_custom_post_values(‘Plan’) approach.
