Oops …

I forgot the echo that’s needed because the function returns the data. The code would be:
<?php echo $entry->getMeta( array( 'key' => 'specialization', 'single' => TRUE ) ); ?>

What you could do for the label is this:

$spec = $entry->getMeta( array( 'key' => 'specialization', 'single' => TRUE ) );
if ( $spec ) echo "Label: $spec";

re: It seems unlikely anyone would want their field results in a section titled “Custom Fields”.
True … but since they can be anything to any user I have to use something as a default.

You can use these filters to control output:

  1. cn_entry_output_content_block
  2. cn_entry_output_content_block_container
  3. cn_entry_output_meta_key
  4. cn_entry_output_meta_container

These can be found in this file:
class.entry-data.php

You’ll have to refer to the code and play with them to figure them out but they should provide everything you need to complete control the output without having to edit the core Connections files.

Hope that helps!
