custom field ruining css style?
is it possible that using a custom field can muck up the css or xhtml?
this is an image gallery thing – and if i use the custom field which is a url, then the alignment and everything goes nuts. if not, it looks fine. i’ve tried a few urls so i can’t be that. regardless of if it’s a custom field or not, the image and text is still hyperlinked in some way.
<div class="thumbnail">
<txp:if_custom_field name="randomcust">
<a href="<txp:custom_field name="randomcust" />"><txp:article_image thumbnail="1" /></a>
<txp:else />
<txp:permlink> <txp:hak_article_thumb limit="1" link="0"/></txp:permlink> <br />
</txp:if_custom_field>
<txp:if_custom_field name="randomcust">
<a href="<txp:custom_field name="randomcust" />"><txp:title /></a> <br />
<txp:else />
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> <br />
</txp:if_custom_field>one other difference in the View Source is:
the non-custom field ones that txp generated using permlink goes: a rel=“bookmark” href=”“
and the custom field one goes a href=”“

Yes if it contains escapable stuff. In 4.0.7 and above, txp:custom_field (among others) escapes all output by default so your beautifully crafted links get mangled. Try adding escape="" to your custom field tag and see if that fixes it.

I notice the ‘custom’ linked thumbnail is not followed by a <br /> while the permlinked one is.

i spy my little eye, something that is WRONG! you guys are unstoppable. thanks els!
while i’m here do you folks recommend using definition lists for image galleries like this? or are they unnecessary for the code i’ve posted above?

Re: custom field ruining css style?
I’d put them in an unordered list rather than in a definition list, but you’d have to ask the markup specialists if some kind of list is required for an image gallery at all.

ok, currently they are in no list format, txp just spits them out and i play with the CSS to style the boxes. i was just reading that definition lists are better.
