Hi To all,

 

Thanks very much for reading this post.

 

I am a designer and know html css php and mysql relatively well.

 

I have just done the purchased tutorial on wordpress creating simple templates and themes.

 

I wanted to know if I can set numerous pages like below :

 

<?php if (is_page('home')) : ?>

do this

 

<?php else:?>

do this

 

 

 

<?php if (is_page('about')) : ?>

do this

 

<?php else:?>

do this

 

 

I also wanted to know how to call custom fields. I am using Wordpress 2.9.1 on my local server.

 

Have downloaded and installed flutter and custom fields.

 

I have a page where there is a welcome note and direclty below I want to have three columns with services , developement and say contact.

 

I have been able to set the group fields and fields ect . I have placed the code within the loop (i understand the loop to be between the if and while statements.

 

1: the 3 custom page fields appear in my navigation which I don't want but presume I must just set the page number to

remove them. (how do I remove the page from menu)

2: When I call the variable I want. Group field is 3_col the custom fields names are services, developement , contact.

 

to call I have placed the code between the if and while statements of the loop

I have placed <?php echo get('3_col'); ?>

 

It does not display anything even though the post page has got a title and content. I would also like to call the title and then the content of the custom field.

 

I have read the wordpress codex but just get more confused I have also read many tuts on flutter but the code used in the tuts with my suplimented names don't work either.

 

3: Can we also call this data in the footer using this technique if required.

 

I have attached a very simple line layout for you too see

Could someone please advise me on what I could be doing wrong and the other questions.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks very much
