## Popis

This plugin provides a powerful widget, shortcode (with shortcode builder tool),
and template tags for easily retrieving and displaying custom field values for posts
or pages.

The power of custom fields gives this plugin the potential to be dozens of plugins
all rolled into one.

This plugin allows you to harness the power of custom fields/meta data. Use the „
Get Custom Field“ widget, the `[custom_field]` shortcode (which has a post editor
sidebar widget to help you build the shortcode), or one of six template tags to 
retrieve and display custom fields. Find a custom field for the current post, a 
specified post, a recent post, or randomly. And for the custom field values found
by the plugin, you may optionally specify text or HTML to appear before and after
the results. If nothing is found, then nothing is display (unless you define text
to appear when no results are found). If multiple results are found, only the first
will be displayed unless you specify a string to be used to join the results together(
such as „,“), in which case all will be returned. Visit the Examples section to 
see how this plugin can be cast in dozens of different ways.

There are six template tags provided by this plugin. Here they are, with an explanation
of when they are appropriate for use:

 * `c2c_get_custom()` : Use this inside „the loop“ to retrieve a custom field value
   for a post
 * `c2c_get_current_custom()` : This is only available on the permalink post template(
   single.php) and page template (page.php). Can be used inside or outside „the 
   loop“. Useful for using custom field to define text you want to include on a 
   post or page’s header, footer, or sidebar.
 * `c2c_get_post_custom()` : Useful when you know the ID of the post whose custom
   field value you want.
 * `c2c_get_random_custom()` : Retrieve the value of a random instance of the specified
   custom field key, as long as the field is associated with a published posted,
   non-passworded post (you can modify a setting in the plugin file to search passworded
   posts as well).
 * `c2c_get_random_post_custom()` : Retrieves the value of random custom field(s)
   from a post when you know the ID of the post you’re interested in.
 * `c2c_get_recent_custom()` : Retrieves the most recent (according to the associated
   post’s publish date) value of the specified custom field.

You can filter the custom field values that the plugin would display. Add filters
for ‚`the_meta`‚ to filter custom field data (see the end of the code file for commented
out samples you may wish to include). You can also add per-meta filters by hooking‚`
the_meta_$sanitized_field`‚. `$sanitized_field` is a clean version of the value 
of `$field` where everything but alphanumeric and underscore characters have been
removed. So to filter the value of the „Related Posts“ custom field, you would need
to add a filter for ‚`the_meta_RelatedPosts`‚.

### Developer Documentation

Developer documentation can be found in [DEVELOPER-DOCS.md](https://github.com/coffee2code/get-custom-field-values/blob/master/DEVELOPER-DOCS.md).
That documentation covers the numerous template tags, hooks, and shortcode provided
by the plugin.

As an overview, these are the template tags provided the plugin:

 * `c2c_get_custom()` : Template tag for use inside „the loop“ and applies to the
   currently listed post.
 * `c2c_get_current_custom()` : Template tag for use on permalink (aka single) page
   templates for posts and pages.
 * `c2c_get_post_custom()` : Template tag for use when you know the ID of the post
   you’re interested in.
 * `c2c_get_random_custom()` : Template tag for use to retrieve a random custom 
   field value.
 * `c2c_get_random_post_custom()` : Template tag for use to retrieve random custom
   field value(s) from a post when you know the ID of the post you’re interested
   in.
 * `c2c_get_recent_custom()` : Template tag for use outside „the loop“ and applies
   for custom fields regardless of post.

These are the hooks provided by the plugin:

 * `c2c_get_custom_field_values_shortcode` : Filter to customize the name of the
   plugin’s shortcode.
 * `c2c_get_custom_field_values_post_types` : Filter to customize the post types
   that should support the shortcode builder metabox.
 * `get_custom_field_values/can_author_use_shortcodes` : Filter to customize if 
   post author can make use of the ‚custom_field‘ shortcode.
 * `get_custom_field_values/show_metabox` : Filter to customize if the shortcode
   builder metabox is shown.

The shortcode provided is `[custom-field]`, which has a number of attributes to 
customize its behavior and output.

## Instalace

 1. Install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer. Or install the plugin code
    inside the plugins directory for your site (typically `/wp-content/plugins/`).
 2. Optional: Add filters for ‚the_meta‘ to filter custom field data (see the end of
    the plugin file for commented out samples you may wish to include). And/or add 
    per-meta filters by hooking ‚the_meta_$field‘
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ admin menu in WordPress
 4. Give post(s) a custom field with a value.
 5. Optional: Go to the Appearance -> Widgets admin page to create one or more ‚Get
    Custom Field‘ sidebar widgets for your widget-enabled theme.
 6. Optional: Use one of the six template functions provided by this plugin to retrieve
    the contents of custom fields. You must ‚echo‘ the result if you wish to display
    the value on your site.
 7. Optional: Use the provided shortcode within posts or wherever shortcodes are supported.

## Nejčastější dotazy

### I added the template tag to my template and the post has the custom field I’m asking for but I don’t see anything about it on the page; what gives?

Did you `echo` the return value of the function, e.g. `<?php echo c2c_get_custom('
mood', 'My mood: '); ?>`

### Can I achieve all the functionality allowed by the six template functions using the widget?

Except for `c2c_get_custom()` (which is only available inside „the loop“), yes, 
by carefully setting the appropriate settings for the widget.

### How do I configure the widget to match up with the template functions?

 * `c2c_get_custom()` : not achievable via the widget
 * `c2c_get_current_custom()` : set the „Post ID“ field to `0`, leave „Pick random
   value?“ unchecked, and set other values as desired.
 * `c2c_get_post_custom()` : set the „Post ID“ field to the ID of the post you want
   to reference and set other values as desired.
 * `c2c_get_random_custom()` : leave „Post ID“ blank, check „Pick random value?“,
   and set other values as desired.
 * `c2c_get_random_post_custom()` : set the „Post ID“ field to the ID of the post
   you want to reference, check „Pick random value?“, and set other values as desired.
 * `c2c_get_recent_custom()` : leave „Post ID“ blank, leave „Pick random value?“
   unchecked, and set other values as desired.

### I don’t plan on using the shortcode builder when writing or editing a post or page, so how do I get rid of it?

If you use the block editor (aka Gutenberg, which is the default editing experience
as of WordPress 5.0), then the shortcode builder is not available yet so this situation
would be moot for you.

For the classic editor, when on the write or edit admin pages for a page or post,
find the „Screen Options“ link near the upper right-hand corner of the page. Clicking
it slides down a panel of options. In the „Show on screen“ section, uncheck the 
checkbox labeled „Get Custom Field Values – Shortcode“. This must be done separately
for posts and for pages if you want the shortcode builder disabled for both sections.

Programmatically, see the developer documentation for the `get_custom_field_values/
show_metabox` filter for how to completely (or selectively) disable the shortcode
builder.

### I don’t see the shortcode builder; where is it?

If you use the block editor (aka Gutenberg, which is the default editing experience
as of WordPress 5.0), then the shortcode builder is not available yet.

If you aren’t able to include scripts in your posts (i.e. you don’t have the ‚unfiltered_html‘
capability), then the shortcode builder is not available to you. Only those with
the editor or administrator role (except on Multisite) or the super administrator
role can make use of this plugin’s shortcode.

For the classic editor, the shortcode builder/wizard is available in the admin when
writing or editing a page or post. On the edit/create page, it’ll be a sidebar widget(
in this context, also known as a metabox) labeled „Get Custom Field Values – Shortcode“.
If you don’t see it there (which may be the case since it is hidden by default),
find the „Screen Options“ link near the upper righthand corner of the page. Clicking
it slides down a panel of options. In the „Show on screen“ section, check the checkbox
labeled „Get Custom Field Values – Shortcode“. This must be done separately for 
posts and for pages if you want the shortcode builder enabled for both sections.

### Can I move the shortcode builder box because it is way down at the bottom of the right sidebar when I create/edit posts?

Yes, any of the boxes on the page when creating/editing posts can be rearranged 
by dragging and dropping the box name. At the very top of the shortcode builder 
box the cursor will turn into a four-way array indicating you can click to drag 
that box. You can move it under the post content box, or higher up on the right 
side.

### Why didn’t the shortcode get inserted into the editor after I clicked the „Send shortcode to editor“ button?

Sometimes you have to ensure the text editor has focus. Click within the text editor
and make sure the cursor is positioned at the location you want the shortcode to
be inserted. Then click the button and the shortcode should get inserted there.

### Is this plugin compatible with the new block editor (aka Gutenberg)?

Yes, except that the shortcode builder (a custom tool to facilitate making use of
the plugin’s shortcode when creating a post) has not been ported over yet. The template
tags, widget, and shortcode itself all function properly.

### Does this plugin include unit tests?

Yes.

How do I add a none text in the php template using this code <?php echo c2c_get_custom('
