cool… I did wonder though, why do we look for names with this kind of rule…

…because ids for custom fields were introduced just recently and I wanted to maintain backward compatibility until possible. Furthermore this had to do with other changes made by glz_custom_fields which I can’t remember well now.
Anyway yes, the time has come for a jquery refresh which hopefully will be addressed in the next release.

gotcha… I see

That works… I’m still having an issue with one multi select but I think I know what the issue is… The multi select that won’t be hidden is dynamically generated by a glz custom script…

I have the same issue with a “glz_custom_field_script” custom field.
Have you been able to fix it?

Hi everyone
I have an issue with a custom field created with glz_custom_field. This field is based on a custom script (such as the my_images.php script that glz_custom_field brings as example). With this new custom field, I no have any control using “bot_write_tab_customize” to hide or arrange to other position. It would seem this issue is due to just “glz_custom_field_script” fields.
Anybody does have the same problem?
Does it have solution?
I look forward your comments
Best regards

You can do a lot of rearranging of the write tab using jquery/javascript. This includes selective show/hide custom fields generated by scripts but can also be to add subheads to groups, etc…

here’s what I do.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
	//rearrange a custom field generated by a script
	$("p:has(*[name='custom_24[]'])").insertBefore($("p:has(*[name='custom_20'])"));
	//hide a custom field generated by a script
	$("select#section").change(function(){
		var value = $("select#section option:selected").val();
		if (value!="my_section"){$("p:has(*[name='custom_24[]'])").hide();}
		else{$("p:has(*[name='custom_24[]'])").show();}
	});

	//replace underscores with spaces in custom field names
	$('#custom_field p label').each(function(){$(this).text($(this).text().replace('_',' ') )});

    //add some subheads for groups of custom fields
	$("p:has(*[name='custom_10'])").before('<h2 class="cf-my-section">Subhead 1</h2>');
	$("p:has(*[name='custom_13'])").before('<h2 class="cf-my-section">Subhead 2');
	$("p:has(*[name='custom_20'])").before('<h2 class="cf-my-section">Subhead 3</h2>');

	//hide those subheads when you're not in the section they pertain to
	$("select#section").change(function(){
		var value = $("select#section option:selected").val();
		if (value!="my_section"){$('h2.cf-my-section').hide();}
		else{$('h2.cf-my-section').show();}
	});
});
</script>

Thanks Dale for replying
I’d need a little help to solve my issue.
I have the “custom-7” field who calls the script and I’d want to place it after the “custom-4”. Also I’d want to show it just in section “avisos”.
With my tries, this custom-field always appears hide :(
Could you help me with the code how it sould be?
I’d really appreciate it
Regards

Finally, I got it.
My code stayed so, and it works for me:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
	//rearrange a custom field 
	$("p:has(*[for='custom-7'])").insertAfter($("p:has(*[for='custom-4'])"));

	//hide a custom field generated by a script in "avisos" section
	$("select#section").change(function(){
		var value = $("select#section option:selected").val();
		if (value!="avisos"){$("p:has(*[for='custom-7'])").hide();}
	});
});
</script>

Many thanks
Regards

For me, this is one of the most useful plugins. In addition that it allows to rearrange all type of form fields in the editable article interface, it also allows to insert little JS or jQuery snippets to change parts of the UI.

An example, which I achieved today a desired solution:

<script>
	$(function() {
		$("textarea#custom-12").attr("placeholder", "Short notice for the input");
		$("textarea#custom-13").attr("placeholder", "Other short notice for the input");
	});
</script>

Maybe that’s nothing new, but I wasn’t aware of this helpful function.

Here is a bug that has been happening to me with bot_write_tab_customize .7.2. Updating to a new instance of TXP 4.5.7 I came across a bug. The plugin was working perfectly as I organized my 63 custom fields into shape and then for no apparent reason after using the “Advanced/Multiple selection” screen a few time the update button stopped working on either screen (advanced/norma). Hitting update would just kick me out to the write page without saving preferences.

Updated to using mrdale’s mod .7.3 and while it made the UI match hive better the kickout to write tab still continued. If I went back to bot_write_tab_customize tab through the menu, the preferences were not saved BUT if I hit the back button the green flag came up and said “preferences saved” and I thought they were but unfortunately the were just saved in the cache. Reloading the page made the what appeared to be saved preferences disappear.

This happens on Firefox, Safari and Chrome. Is there a log where I can see what is happening after the update button is pushed?

Hi Lazlo,
this seems to be the bug already discussed here.
Is it the case?

lazlo, don’t miss maniqui’s solution some posts deeper there:

It seems that if you have Suhosing module (some security-related module for PHP which I didn’t know it was installed), you have to edit the corresponding config file (on my system, it was located in /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini) to raise the corresponding values.
I’ve set them to:

php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 2048

And then, all was good: I was able to post large bot_wtc forms :)

For people already working with the v4.6 dev version with the new two column admin layout, here’s a tentative first fix for bot_write_tab_customize:

These are the new search and replace bits within the plugin matching phil’s much cleaner admin layout.

$bot_arr_selectors = array(

    'writetab_main_content' => '$("#main_content")',

      'writetab_view_modes' => '$("#view_modes")',
      'title' => '$(".title")',
      'body' => '$(".body")',
      'excerpt' => '$(".excerpt")',

    'writetab_sidebar' => '$("#supporting_content")',

      'save' => '$(".txp-save")',

      'actions' => '$(".txp-actions")',

        'create_new' => '$(".txp-new")',
        'duplicate' => '$(".txp-clone")',      
        'view' => '$(".txp-article-view")', 

      'page_article_nav_hed' => '$(".nav-tertiary")',

      'sort_display' => '$("#txp-write-sort-group")',

        'status' => '$(".status")',
        'section' => '$(".section")',
        'category1' => '$(".category-1")',
        'category2' => '$(".category-2")',

      'date_settings' => '$("#txp-dates-group")',

        'publish' => '$(".posted")',
        'publish_time' => '$(".posted.time")',
        'reset_time' => '$(".posted-now")',
        'expired' => '$(".expires")',
        'expire_time' => '$(".expires.time")',

      'meta' => '$("#txp-meta-group")',

        'url_title' => '$(".url-title")',
        'description' => '$(".description")',
        'keywords' => '$(".keywords")',

      'comment_settings' => '$("#txp-comments-group")',

        'use_comments' => '$(".comments-annotate")',
        'comment_invitation' => '$(".comment-invite")',

      'article_image_group' => '$("#txp-image-group")',

        'article_image' => '$(".article-image")',

      'custom' => '$("#txp-custom-field-group")',

      'advanced_options' => '$("#txp-advanced-group")',

        'article_markup' => '$(".markup-body")',
        'excerpt_markup' => '$(".markup-excerpt")',
        'override_default_form' => '$(".override-form")',

      'textile_help' => '$("#txp-textfilter-group")',

      'recent_articles' => '$("#txp-recent-group")'

);

EDIT: code updated slightly

The indentation is not necessary, just an indication of which bits go where. As before it references each group and most of the items within the groups. If you want to group items within a group of your own, you’ll need to do some custom jQuerying.

And here’s a tentative version that builds on mrdale’s version already made to bot_write_tab_customize – Thanks Dale – which regularised some of the styling to match the rest of txp and added some other saving fixes.

EDIT: code deleted – see later post

Note: this is not backwards compatible with pre v4.6-new-admin-layout versions and may break with future changes to the edit pane. Mr Dale’s version works for earlier versions.

Also note that Phil does offer ways of hiding certain aspects of the write tab with css from the outset by adding lines to config.php. That is more efficient if you want to hide things generally and not just on a per-section basis using bot_wtc.

Redbot, it would be brilliant if you could meld this back into your own version at some point when things are ready. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this invaluable plugin over the years.
