I'm having this problem where i want to display a custom attribute outside the product page in magento. (view.phtml).

For example. I would like to display custom attribute (its value) to specific place in list.phtml (not navigation layout) and in home page. I tried so many solution, but nothing worked.

Any guidance or assistance would be very appreciated.
