Adding custom field info to posts

[fncll]

I have some information in custom fields for posts that I want to display.

The first thing I want to do is have the contents of a custom field display after the title of a post.

The second is that I want to use a few custom fields in a div before the post meta information.

How do I access custom field info using Genesis hooks?

I'm using the Prose (child) theme, but I think the basic approach is likely the same no matter what theme?

Try this http://wpsites.net/web-design/how-to-create-a-custom-field/

And use the 3rd parameter to position the custom fields with the genesis_entry_header hook

I've made progress...however, I have to use the XHTML hooks because enabling HTML5 with the Prose theme is causing all kinds of breakage even if I remove all of my custom code and rules.

I'm now able to add custom fields and did so using genesis_after_post_title

However, how can I add content after the body of the post but before the meta information (categories, tags, etc)? The genesis_after_post hook is closest but it's still below that meta information...

Try adding a 3rd parameter to your hook or use the_content hook which executes immediately after the content.

I tried using a 3rd parameter of 0, 1, 10, 100 -- it moved the content up and down but only below the meta information.

So I tried using the_content but it clobbered my content rather than adding right after it...how do I not do that? This is my simple code right now:

add_action('the_content', 'post_add_bio'); 
function post_add_bio() {
if (is_single()) {
echo '<p>' . genesis_get_custom_field('authorbio') . '</p>';
}
}

the_content

is a filter hook not an action hook so you need to use it differently.
Example:

add_filter('the_content', 'your_function'); 
function your_function( $content ) {
// Your Code

You also need to

return $content;

when using a filter hook rather than use echo.
