Custom Field system name...?

[theMusicMan]

I wish to use the custom fields I have created in the Links Directory within another of my links templates. How do I find out what the system name of each custom field is so I can include the code for it in the template please.?

i.e. If I want to display this custom field elsewhere - what's the vB field name and syntax I should use to get it to display?

Where exactly are you trying to display it?

Hi Brian

I would like to display it on the adv_links_linkbit template in a new column to the left of the description field. I think I might need to somehow call the variables in the showlinks.php file... but this is where my knowledge is lacking.

I can edit the templates fine, but when it comes to the coding of them is where I fall down.

It doesn't pull the info from the custom fields on those pages, so that would require a litlte more work than just editing a template.

Is there a simple(ish) explanation that might help me figure out how this could be done without putting on you too much please Brian...?

How can I make a variable be available in another template?

So, is there a way to display a custom field on the link page for that link entry? if so, which .php file should I edit to ensure the custom field is 'pulled' from the db.
