Hi Elliott, I don’t think I have shared one of the early versions of glz_custom_fields v1.2 with you. The changes that have fixed this issue are not in my version of Textpattern but in the new plugin code. I am in the final stages of releasing it, we’re talking days.

oh ok. well i’m just trying to figure out what happened. it’s an older site so it uses one of your earlier versions. then i tried to move this site onto another server. if i’m locked out of the backend then will i be able to update the plugin code from outside or something? i’m not in a rush on this one. thanks

Re: glz_custom_fields & jquery

You’ll have to disable the plugin from phpmyadmin unfortunately : (. That is, disable/delete the old one and add the new one. You should be all fine afterwards.

Re: glz_custom_fields & jquery

I bought the plugin sometime ago under the law of ‘supply and demand’ am a happy customer. I’ve bought other plugins too. Gerhard has been nice enough to offer support on his plugins. I just wanted to chime in to point out that it can be well worth it to pay for a plugin. I have not seen an author asking for payment on a plugin that was not deemed worthy by the TXP community.

On a sidenote: I wonder if this plugin will eventually get rolled into the core?

Re: glz_custom_fields & jquery

Hi Josh,

thanks for the kind words mate : ).

I must agree that I haven’t been always around, but I’ve tried to keep my eyes on the ball as much as possible. Even now, with a few days of holidays (Easter and all that), I’ve been working (even if only a few hours) on the next version which seems to be eluding me. I’m really looking forward to having it released, but because the plugin is lacking proper tests, I keep coming across scenarios when it fails – horribly – and I just need to go back and tweak it a bit more, add this, remove that, you know how it goes. But yeah, I can already smell v1.2 : ).

I don’t think the plugin will become part of core. It would be nice, but I just don’t think it’s realistic. I’ve tried submitting a patch for custom fields > 10 to the core for months now, it was always ignored… I think this is more likely to happen before the code behind the plugin will make it into the core.

Thanks for sticking around Josh, good things are coming soon to all glz_custom_fields contributors!

Wouldn’t have if it weren’t so damn useful. :) Any hints as to what is upcoming?

Re: glz_custom_fields & jquery

This : ). Also, I managed to finish glz_custom_fields v1.2 this weekend, just need to organize myself about distributing it. Tonight is LRUG, so I might not get a stab at it until tomorrow evening.
