Textiled output for Keywords field

masa · 2015-01-20 21:57:49

I want to repurpose the Keywords field as it isn’t used for anything.
Currently it strips things like line breaks upon save and doesn’t use Textile.

Does anyone have simple instructions on how to accomplish this by hacking the core?

(I don’t know anything about PHP.)

Try not to hack, use a plugin to hook into the article save step. Or combine that with a plugin to replace the current keywords box with one of your own that does what you want. Doing that is way more extensible than hacking.

Someone round here can probably throw something together for you if you define the sort of thing you want it to do / store. You’ll still be limited to 255 characters unless you alter the database, though.

There are a number of Keyword-related plugins but not one that I am aware of that allows textile editing. I am thinking that glz_custom_fields might be something you want to take a long look at.

Stef & Michael,

OK, both of you are in favour of a plugin. I’ve had glz_custom_fields for as long as it’s been around but I’m a bit wary to use it at this stage – is it still maintained?

I will exceed that 255 character limit by the way.

upm_textile used to do what you want. I’m not sure if it is currently available somewhere or compatible with the latest txp releases

I can’t vouch for this being authentic, but b319.info/?rah_plugin_download=upm_textile works.

Thanks for all the replies.

I got it working now using glz_custom_fields and upm_textile. It even seems to play well with adi_matrix and bot_write_tab_customize which is what I was a bit worried about.
