Display custom post types with a page

[octoberstone]

Hi
I wish to display a list of my custom post types (tenders) within the page content of this page - http://www.octoberstone.co.uk/wordpress/procurement/tender-opportunities/

It should display:
Post title as link
Meta data
part of post with more link
custom fields
See: http://www.octoberstone.co.uk/wordpress/tenders/

I have tried using a page template but it displays the list without the other page content - See: http://www.octoberstone.co.uk/wordpress/procurement/tenders-list/

I've also tried shortcode (See - http://www.octoberstone.co.uk/wordpress/procurement/tenders-shortcode/). I am not very good at php and so I'm failing miserably to configure correctly.

My theme is a child theme created from the Genesis theme. I would really appreciate any assistance or pointers.

You could create a new WP_Query

And then create a shortcode with the function.

Many thanks for your suggestions. I tried your suggestion Braddalton but I got lost - however it did help me understand how things worked and so I was able to refine my search and found the following which worked. The short code to be placed in my page is [Tenders]

I found it here: http://wpsmith.net/2011/custom-post-types/understanding-wordpress-custom-post-types-displaying-custom-post-types/

[PHP]function wps_tenders_posting() {
global $post;
$xglobals = $GLOBALS;
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'tenders' , 'posts_per_page' => 10 , 'orderby' => 'post_title' , 'order' => 'ASC' );
$tendersloop = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $tendersloop->have_posts() ) {
while ( $tendersloop->have_posts() ): $tendersloop->the_post();
$output .= '<div id="tenders-content">';
$output .= '<header class="entry-header"><h3 class="tender-title">'.get_the_title() .'</h3></header>';
$output .= '<p class="entry-meta">Published: <time class="entry-time" itemprop="datePublished">';
$output .= get_the_date();
$output .= '</time></p>';
$output .= '<p>' .get_the_excerpt();
$output .= '</p>';
$output .= '<div class="tender-meta">';
$output .= '

• <span class="medium">Closing date: </span>' .get_field( 'closing_date' );
  $output .= '
• <span class="medium">at </span>' .get_field( 'closing_time' );
  $output .= '

';
$output .= '</div></div>';
endwhile;
}
else
$output = '<p>No tenders were found.</p>';
$GLOBALS = $xglobals;
return $output;
}

function my_init() {
add_shortcode( 'tenders' , 'wps_tenders_posting' );
}

add_action('init' , 'my_init');
[/PHP]
