Sticky-Fields, a WordPress plugin to save and retrieve fields

September 11th, 2006 ericdes

You can now edit custom fields (content you use the most) from within the administration, such as a headline, proverb or phone number.

You retrieve a field content in your PHP template like this:

global $stickyfield;
echo $stickyfield->field['name-of-your-field'];

With this plugin, you don’t need to modify your templates each time you want to update some hard-coded text.

Hi Raymond,

I think the Sticky-Fields plugin is not the right plugin for what you want to achieve.

Sticky-FIelds plugin can be used to display short piece of information that you don’t want to enter as a post, or a page.

For example let’s say you want to display your contact information (address, phone number) on top of your page.

Without Sticky-Fields you would need to either enter this information in the php template or create a page and call this page from your template.

Both methods are not easy to set up for such a small piece of information.

With Sticky-Fields, you enter the field: phone and your actual phone number as a value in the admin page. In the template, you just need to add:
```
< ?php
global $stickyfield;
echo $stickyfield->field[’name-of-your-field’];
?>
```
And that will display the value of the Sticky-field, that is your phone number in the example.

Sorry we don’t have any working example to show as we developped this plugin as a project and are not using on a website.

Besides that I’m sorry I can not help you with your actual issue.
