get_custom_field

The get_custom_field tag can be used to fetch the value contained within any editable region defined within any template.

It is an alternative method to using the pages tag and is well suited for fetching values from single fields (as opposed to the pages tag that fetches values of all the editable regions in a page).

<cms:get_custom_field 'site_name' masterpage='globals.php' />

Variables
