Hi I was wondering if it’s possible to display the custom field names in my template.

For example I know how to display content from a weblog entry using tags like {title} etc, but i don’t know if it’s possible to display the custom field title.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks for lookin.

Ok just to clarify

I’m trying to display the custom field label and not just the content from the custom field.

This would save me quite some time, as i’m thinking I have to make a custom field just for the title of the section, and that seems redundant to me.

You can certainly pull the label out of the database directly, but there are no direct EE tags for that I am aware of.

Yeah that seems like it would be difficult since i’m not a programmer. Thank you for the affirmative answer though. That saves me some time.

Not difficult at all, I should think:

{exp:query sql="SELECT field_label AS my_label FROM exp_weblog_fields 
WHERE field_name = "body" AND group_id = "1" AND site_id = "1""}
{my_label}
{/exp:query}

Something like that, anyway. Replace “body” and “group_id” as appropriate.

ah that doesn’t look too bad. I’ll try it out. Thank you so much.
