# Custom Post Types with Custom Fields into feed/loop

 * Hello dear WordPress Forum 🙂
 * I’m embarked in a personal web project of mine and I’m having some troubles seeing
   I’m not that good of a programmer.
 * I was planning on using Gravity Forms to let users post “projects”. Meaning they
   fill out a form that’s on my site and that form gets posted as a custom post 
   type in a feed. I tried doing this using these plugins:
    – Types and Views – 
   Gravity Forms – Gravity Forms Custom Post Types – SF Pages For Custom Posts (
   this last one sorts the Custom Post Types and feed it like blogposts)
 * My problem is that what I want to show doesn’t show. I only get information from
   the “Post Fields”. But I also have Price Fields, date, and additional information
   that won’t show.
 * I’ve made a rough [mockup](http://michaelmehlum.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mockup.jpg)
   of how I would like them to look and what information I would like them to show
 * The pictures would map to what the users choose from a dropdown in GF. This dropdown
   has five different options that portray what kind of job the client is offering.
   The picture will then change according to which options he/she chooses. The name
   already shows, and so does the description.
    What doesn’t show however is: – 
   The picture (obviously) – The timer/date – The extras (these are checklist items
   that would add to the total price) – “Take Job” Button
 * So my problem is that I don’t know how to deal with this in a proper way. Going
   around with plugins seems too uncertain for me, so I would appreciate any kind
   of help on this matter 🙂

 * You will want to hook the filter ‘the_content’. Your function will be passed 
   all the html for a post. Query the database for your custom fields, format it
   as html, and insert into the html you were passed. Return the whole altered html
   string and it will show up for each post.
 * So you now have all the data showing for each post, getting it looking right 
   is a CSS issue.

 * bcworkz, thank you for your reply 🙂
 * I almost understood it, hehe. I mean, I’ve been reading quite a bit about this,
   the main problem is that I have little to none experience in PHP.
 * Ok so, I hook the filter ‘the_content’. Where do I hook it? in my template file
   or in my functions file? …neither? Querying the database i probably could manage.
   I’ve been looking at a few tutorials that brings that up.
 * Would I need to make individual files for single and archives as well?
 * CSS is not a huge problem, thankfully 😉
 * Thanks again for the reply!

 * Add your hook to the functions file.
 * As long as your templates are using the template tag `the_content()` or a different
   tag that calls it, you needn’t do anything else.
 * This will be a nice little project to develop your PHP skills. I’ve always found
   these sort of things turn out easier than they initially appeared. Good luck!
