Expression Engine Plugin - Single Field
October 29 20080 comments | post comment
I wanted to do Flickr style prev/next linking for my single view entries page in Expression Engine, but the {exp:weblog:next_entry} tag does not provide any useful tags except . I needed to pull data from a custom field I created called thumbnail in order to do the Flickr prev/next links. So, this plugin does just that. You pass the entry id of the entry you are viewing and the name of the field you want to return:
{exp:single_field field="thumbnail" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
Here is how I am using it on my portfolio:
{exp:weblog:next_entry}
<a href="{path="portfolio/view"}" title="{title}"><img src="{exp:single_field field="port_th" entry_id="{entry_id}"}" alt="{title}" /></a>
{/exp:weblog:next_entry}
