Custom fields on custom post type archive

I’ve run into the following problem.

I’ve made 2 custom post types, each, ofcourse, containing posts.

But now I’ve run into a situation where I would need to add a custom field at the top of the archive page.

Since I don’t have a page I can access on the admin side, I can’t fill these custom fields.

Should I switch to a page, or is there a other way?

I hope this is clear enough.

  1. May way of doing this is to create a page and put the content in there then use the following code at the top of your archive”post-type”.php to display it.

    $myposts = get_posts( array('post_type'=>'page','numberposts' => 1,'include' => 45) );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>

    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('grid_5'); ?>>
                <header class="entry-header">
                    <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
                </header><!-- .entry-header -->
                <div class="entry-content">
                    <?php the_content(); ?>
                </div><!-- .entry-content -->
            </article><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->
         <?php endforeach; // end of the loop. ?>

    All you need to do is replace the ‘include’ => 45 with your own page id.
