glz_custom_fields

nabrown78 · 2008-04-27 18:31:12

Can anyone tell me how I might go about customizing the separator between multiple values in these custom fields? I think that they are actually stored in the database using the pipe character (|) but for my output, I would like a comma and a space to separate them. I’m guessing I would have to explode and re-implode them with the new separator? I’m not a PHP expert by any means.
Seems like something others might want as well?

EDIT: Brilliantly, when you use <txp:glz_custom_field /> instead of the normal custom_field, it does output as a comma-separated list! Yay!

Is there any way to limit the length of the multiple choice areas? I have big names on some of them and they expand the admin layout.

Thanks, Gonçalo Dumas.

Hmm, I suspect I missed something when I installed this plugin, but I can’t seem to get any custom forms over the standard 10 to show up in the write tab. Maybe its just my tired brain but I can’t seem to decipher the instructions about modifying publish.php and the svn stuff. All I did was install the plugin, add an extra custom form in the extensions tab and look in the write tab. Did I miss something? Is there a possibility of conflict with other plugins?

you don’t need SVN. Just open publish.php with a text editor, find the function getCustomFields() and replace it with this .
This shouldn’t have to do with the write tab though

Hey Gerhard, I was wondering if it was possible to add a new feature to the plugin:
under extensions->custom fields if you want to edit a specific custom field you have the following fields:

Name:
Type:
Value:

My suggestion is to add another field named “title”. This way if I’m using a custom field named “date_of_birth” (cos I can’t use spaces in cfs) I can set a title like “Date of birth” and it will show in the “write” tab instead of the real custom field name.
I think this would enhance usability and make the “write” tab look prettier and more professional

This is a great plugin!

Is there a way to do advanced search?

Could you search using criteria from various custom fields? For example, if I have a custom field for price ranges, and another for brands, could I then search for products in a price range from a specific brand?

Also, is there a way to search so if I have a field with numbers (prices) I can search higher or lower than a number entered in a form?

Thanks!

I had this problem on a new install and worked out that ‘Allow form override’ needed to be enabled. This can be set in Admin > Advanced > Publish.

That’s correct. Just verified on one of lee’s sites.

Your jQuery removes existing fields and then does an insert after the “override-form”. On sites with override-form turned off, glz_custom_fields doesn’t show anything as the jQuery fails to find the insert point in the DOM.

Perhaps you could make the insert point selectable from any reasonable write-tab interface element so people can re-arrange the insert point as they see fit?

A temporary workaround is to enable “override form” and to hide it with ied_hide_in_admin

That’s useful — thank you.

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to parse Textile in custom fields? Maybe via another plugin? Or should I custom code it?

Thanks.
