How to display a Custom Field value in archive

[mikeferg]

Hello All,

I am very new to Genesis and I am just starting to get a feel for it.

So far I have found out how to display my posts as a grid and also how to have the post title display below the post thumbnail on archived pages.

Here is the question: I have added a custom field to my post called 'price'. How would get this custom field to show with archived content? So that each post in the archive grid will have 'Thumbnail', 'Title' and 'Price'.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Mike

You could do something like add it to the Post Info. If that doesn't work, see the Visual Hook Guide for the various areas you can hook into. Also, since you only want it to display on the archive, you can use is_post_type_archive().

Hi Ren, thanks for the reply.

I worded my question poorly. The custom field needs to display in both post and post archive.

I have got it to display in the post by adapting this bit of code and placing it in child functions.php:
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'custom_field_before_content', 15 );
/**
* @author Brad Dalton
* @example http://wpsites.net/
* @copyright 2014 WP Sites
*/
function custom_field_before_content() {
if ( is_singular(array( 'post', 'page')) && genesis_get_custom_field('price') ) :
echo '<div class="price">£ '. genesis_get_custom_field('price') .'</div>';
endif;
}

I am now looking for a similar bit of code to echo a custom field in a post archive. That is where I am stuck now.

I followed your links but was unable to find the solution I am looking for. I am still getting to grips with how Genesis does things so the solution may well be staring me in the face but I just can't see it.

Cheers
Mike

Ah, okay. Use get_post_type() instead of is_singular(). For example:

if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) {
	// Code
}

get_post_type() will return true if whatever being shown is either singular or an archive. Basically, it is equal to:

if ( is_singular( 'post' ) || is_post_type_archive( 'post' ) )

Thanks Ren, I think this topic can close now.

Ren, I forgot to post up my block of code should anyone else wish to do something similar.

// Adds custom field "price" to single posts and post archives
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'custom_field_before_content', 15 );
function custom_field_before_content() {
if ( 'post' == get_post_type() )
echo '<div class="price">£ '. genesis_get_custom_field('price') .'</div>';
}
