extra fields in featured ads on home page

[rockabilly +]

Hello,
Is there a string of code that I can add so that I can have the text of an extra field display under the photo of the featured listing on the homepage?

Thanks in advance.

The general way to go about this is to use debug (lots of posts on this) and see what variables are available. You will see that extrafields are not generally available unless you modify the plugin which produces them. By the way, which version of the software and which plugins and template are you using?

I stand corrected. There is a function called function.get_extra_field.php in the plugins directory which may be of help.

Thanks for the info. I am using v4.1.3 and the standed plugin that came with this version. I am also using the default template.

Thank you....

I think you should be able to use that function to return the extrafields of your featured adverts. You will probably need to make a copy of the featured listings plugin and adapt it for your purpose. Perhaps you will be able to use that get extrafields plugin within it to do that.
