CFS Custom Category Fields

CFS Category Fields is a Custom Field Suite addon that provides meta data or custom fields for categories and custom taxonomies. Key features are as follows:

• Apply Custom Fields to Categories and Custom Taxonomies
• Requires the Custom Field Suite Plugin

1. Upload cfs-taxonomy.zip to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Install and activate Custom Field Suite if not already installed
4. On the Field Group editor you will see a box to apply the Field Group to a Category or Taxonomy
5. Update the Field Group and the fields will be editable on the WordPress Category Editor

How do I retrieve custom fields for display on a category page?

Use the function get_category_meta(‘field_name’), or alternatively, call CfsTaxonomy::get(‘field_name’) directly, in your php.

How do I retrieve custom category fields anywhere?

Use the function get_category_meta() and pass it the term object as the second parameter, eg: get_category_meta(false, get_term_by(‘slug’, ‘good-stuff’, ‘category’)). This will return all field data from the category Good Stuff.

How do I retrieve the cfs front-end form?

Use the function get_category_form(). If used on a category or archive page it takes no parameters. It can be used anywhere by passing the term object as the first parameter.
