    Hi Kailey.

    This plugin is very useful to me, great job, thanks.

    My question is about showing post or pages′s custom fields. For example, I define a custom field, name: “ages”, value: “25 to 35”. How can I show this “25 to 35” value for example below the excerpt?. It would be nice if this were possible with a code like this: [title]

    [excerpt]
    [mycustomfields names=ages, anothercfield]
    . This is an idea.

    In this case I need this for the widget, better if this feature would be available for all integration options, this could be a very good plugin′s update.

    Thanks in advance.

    I’ll certainly consider this for the next release – it’s a good idea!

    In the meantime, you can add this to helpers.php if you’d like

    add_shortcode( 'ml_customfield' , 'miniloop_customfield' );
function miniloop_customfield( $atts ) {
	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
		'name' => '',
	), $atts));
	$meta = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), $name, true );
	return $meta;
}

    This would allow you to use [customfield name=ages] inside the Item Format box. Note that this version does not take multiple custom fields at once, if you need to grab more than one custom field, simply repeat the code.

    Excellent! it works!

    It worked even using multiple custom fields, simply repeating the [customfield] code as you indicated.

    Thank you very much!
