Adding post meta in search results

Anonymous.
I have customized the search results page to remove post summaries, by copying results.php into my theme template folder, and it’s working nicely. Now, I’d like to add a post meta field (“wp_review_total”) into the search results, so my display would look like:
the_title
** post-meta-field **
the_category
the_tags
Is this possible?
Hey Ken
Do you mean so that you list the current selection for hte wp_review_total field at the top of hte saerch results template?
Then you would look here:
http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/accessing-search-data/
Or do you mean, you would like to display the value for wp_review_total in your template next to each result?
Then you would need this:

Thanks
It would be for each search result. I tried following the second example, but got empty results:
<?php $wp_review_total_values = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(),
'wp_review_total', true ); ?>I’m not a PHP coder, so I’ll try playing with it some more. I may have missed something obvious.
Hey Ken
That looks like the right way to retrieve it – did you try echoing it out?
<?php
$wp_review_total_values = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wp_review_total', true );
//echo out the values - should be ok because get_post_meta has the 3rd param set to true
echo $wp_review_total_values;
//alternatively dump the object to check whats inside:
var_dump($wp_review_total_values);
?>
