Thread

Hi all,
I’m a new EE user and am loving it so far, but I find I’m getting so far and then hitting a brick wall when it comes to categories, basically I have a number of entries assigned to/with specific categories, I have a section on the site where I need to display an “overview” page where I want to display all the entries in a specific category which I can do, the problem is I need to display a custom field within the entries as well.

When using the channel entries tag this is simple however I cant find a way to accomplish this using the channel:categories tag.

eg: each entry has a “summary” custom field (kinda like a blog excerpt) and when displaying all the entries in a particular category I need to output this custom field as well

Is this even possible?

Any help gratefully received
thanks in advance

Can you post your code?

Adding custom fields is quite straightforward. In the template you use to view category based information simply use a Channel entries loop:

{exp:channel:entries channel="mychannel"}
<h2>{title}</h2>
<p>{my_custom_field}<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}
