How to children metadata with children list?

    I’m trying to list all children of a page along with some custom fields, but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to do this.

    I know how to insert a custom field into a post, and I know how to list the children of a current page, but how could I list BOTH the children and a particular custom field at the same time?

    For a concrete example, look at this page:
    http://sciencereview.berkeley.edu/read/spring-2011/

    At the bottom, it lists all the children of the page, which are articles that we’ve written. Currently, it is just posting the article link, but I’d like it to include both the article title as well as its author, like this:

    <article title>, by <article author metadata>
    <article title>, by <article author metadata>
    <article title>, by <article author metadata>

    etc. Any ideas?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The blog you specified at sciencereview.berkeley.edu does not appear to be hosted at WordPress.com.

    This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

    If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

    If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.
