Re: glz_custom_fields

I recently installed the plugin and now I want to use the new custom field in php script. Currently I intend to do it via hidden fields of the form in the article. The form calls the script.

For standard custom fields we just name the custom field like so: <input type=“hidden” name=“zaloha” value=<txp:custom_field name=“Záloha” />>

But when I enter the name of the glz custom field it seems tha value is empty. How am I supposed to acces the glz custom field from code? (Btw. the field is a textarea multiline string.)

I am not sure your custom field name can contain characters like á. Perhaps that is the issue?

I don’t know… another weirdness with this plugin? When I tested, creating a custom field with the plugin, name: tést, the name was truncated to tst after saving. It does work for standard (the 10 provided but Textpattern) custom fields.

EDIT
Or maybe that part is something wrong on my install? I see the custom_fields table has latin1 set for name and value. Puzzled, as this TXP4.6 was definitely created with the charset set to UT8-mb4.


Anyway, I also wanted to note, I created a textarea custom field (test_textarea), and could verify that with the code provided by David, it does work.

<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="<txp:custom_field name='test_textarea' />">

Is that script stored in a Textpattern form? If not: try it from there. I’ve no experience with such sripts in TXP, maybe you’d need to wrap it in a pair of <txp:php> tags. EDIT: There are admin settings that allow/disallow the use of PHP in several places. Check whether they‘re set accordingly.

In case the accented letter is part of the problem and you want the client to see proper spelling: There’s a plugin, bot_cf_titles, that lets you replace custom field names on the surface while the actual field name can remain without accent for the proper functionality of TXP and plugins involved.

Re: glz_custom_fields

I can not figure it out what’s the problem with glz_custom_fields, radio or checkbox after an upgrade from Textpattern 4.5.7 to 4.6.2 (it’s not the first time I did that ;-) ):

“Ooops! custom_2 has some problems. Go fix it.”

But I can’t fix anything.

If I change to input type all is fine.

Any idea? Thanks.

Re: glz_custom_fields

Simply to spur some thoughts:
Is the plugin the most recent one?
Are there any errors, maybe hidden by the current production state (backend/frontend)?
Does glz_cf throw that message if it’s the only active plugin?
Could it be caused by the name of the field?
Or by any contents/special characters in that/these field(s)? (Also: too much content in there?)

Hi uli, thanks for your answer.

Yes.

Are there any errors, maybe hidden by the current production state (backend/frontend)?

No, the names are “Ancho” and “Zoom”, the same like in other installations without problems.

Or by any contents/special characters in that/these field(s)? (Also: too much content in there?)

Are checkboxes.

Re: glz_custom_fields

Sorry, no ideas.

In order to speed things up: The function in txp_prefs is the following one, the line with case 'm': $val *= 1024;

function real_max_upload_size($user_max)
{
    // The minimum of the candidates, is the real max. possible size
    $candidates = array($user_max,
                        ini_get('post_max_size'),
                        ini_get('upload_max_filesize'), );
    $real_max = null;
    foreach ($candidates as $item) {
        $val = trim($item);
        $modifier = strtolower(substr($val, -1));
        switch ($modifier) {
            // The 'G' modifier is available since PHP 5.1.0
            case 'g':
                $val *= 1024;
            case 'm':
                $val *= 1024;
            case 'k':
                $val *= 1024;
        }
        if ($val > 1) {
            if (is_null($real_max)) {
                $real_max = $val;
            } elseif ($val < $real_max) {
                $real_max = $val;
            }
        }
    }

    return $real_max;
}

Re: glz_custom_fields

I have found out that glz_custom_fields is applying textile to my custom textarea field. Is there a way to stop this? Textile has been turned off for the said article. (Nonetheless I would like to stop the textile even if it was turned on for the article.)

Start your blocks with notextile. ? Hmm not necessarily user friendly…

Maybe there is a plugin that can prevent Textile to work, such as “smd_wrap”?

Re: glz_custom_fields

I found out notextile. inside a custom textarea does not get interpreted and acts like a plain text. Actually textile might not be the issue I’m having. The text from the custom field just gets wierdly encoded/padded when I get it from php.

Not sure if I can post links to other questions here but here my main question greatly involving glz_custom_fields. Any help would be greatly appreciated. https://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=307250#p307250
