[wp-hackers] Accessing custom fields in a post

[Brian Fidler]

Nevermind, I figured it out.

I added the following to my functions.php file:

function get_custom_field_value($bfiKey, $bPrint = false) {
   global $post;
   $bfiValue = get_post_meta($post->ID, $bfiKey, true);
   return $bfiValue;
}

and I added this to my Page template:

<?php
    if ( function_exists('get_custom_field_value') ){
      $myPrice = get_custom_field_value('price', true);
      $myShipping = get_custom_field_value('shipping', true);

      $myTotal = $myPrice + $myShipping;

      echo "<h3>Price: $" . $myPrice . "</h3>";
      echo "<h3>Shipping: $" . $myShipping . "</h3>";
      echo "<h3>Total: $" . $myTotal . "</h3>";
   }
?>
