 * Hi guys, thanks for this Amazing plugin!
 * I wonder if there’s any way to collect data from Custom Fields..
 * We are running a property management system, so I added a couple of fields (landlord’s
   name, address, etc) which I would like to store in your plugin to have a list
   of the landlords in the admin backend.
 * Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance!

 * Well, of course you can do this on the frontend using standard WordPress queries(
   check out [WP_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)) and
   then restrict access to that page.
 * If you want to use the Participants Database plugin, it is possible, but will
   require some custom code in two parts: the first part will need to loop through
   all the existing property posts (I assume you are using a CPT) and create a new
   landlord record for each landlord listed in the custom fields. Then the second
   part would use a hook to update the database whenever a new landlord was added.

 * Hi xnau, thanks so much 🙂 I understand what you mean, and yes, we use a CPT 
   to add properties!
    Would you be able to develop something like that for us? 
   If yes, can you write me by mail how much would you charge? If you are too busy
   or you can’t, don’t worry. I know this is an open source project but we need 
   to get this done…

   just specify “for Alessandro” in the subject
 * cheers!
