Re: glz_custom_fields

The million dollar questions is this – have you tried glz_1.13 on txp_4.2.0?

I saw the checksums update last night and knew that the first 4.2.0 release candidate would go live today!

Can’t wait to tap into core support for unlimited custom fields. ;) I have one site that I can’t upgrade until there’s a compatible version of glz_custom_fields.

Re: glz_custom_fields

Just discovered an issue with Gerhard’s 4.0.8 which prevents multiple section attributes for article_custom

Re: glz_custom_fields

Hi Gerhard and everyone,

I’ve just had an issue with glz_custom_fields_1.1.3 (with custom fields > 10 hack) that had me scratching my head for a while. I haven’t seen the issue documented anywhere (in help or forum), although I’m sure some people will have experienced it before.

After unwittingly adding a glz_custom_field with the name “Title” all instances of txp:title dropped off my site. Disabling plugins, repairing dB, restoring backups didn’t work.

It was only then that I realised my glx_custom_field “Title” was obviously interfering with txp:title. Easy to understand retrospectively, but had me worried for a while! Just wanted to post this here in case anyone else ever has the same issue.

-L.

Ah yes, this is a known feature (Micro$oft terminology) of Textpattern but it does make you scratch your head for a bit when it happens doesn’t it?! Often caught me out.

For future reference there is a non-exhaustive list of reserved words over at Textbook’s custom_field entry. It would be good if this could be addressed by putting custom fields in their own name space but whether that is practical to do so remains to be seen.

Re: glz_custom_fields

Gerhard, any news on an upgrade for this plugin to work with 4.2?

Re: glz_custom_fields

I have just set up PHP on my work computer (I no longer have a home computer, Mac Pro decided to pack it in). Will be looking at a plugin upgrade this week and will update the forum thread this weekend. Thanks!

Re: glz_custom_fields

Great – because I have a project on hold waiting for glz_ and mem_ plugin upgrades for 4.2.

Sorry about the MBP – mine works great!

Re: glz_custom_fields

BTW, I think Stef made some changes to the plugin to make it work with the latest version of jQuery shipped with 4.2 (not sure about that).

The main issues I see are that select drop downs are not visible on the public side, and the search feature does not work for me – although its possible I have implemented it incorrectly.

Yes, I have. If you want my modded version as a base, gerhard, drop me a line. The plugin didn’t need much tweaking to get it going.

Really good news, thanks!

Excuse me for the off-topic.
I noticed that in txp 4.2.0 custom fields ids have changed from “custom_x” to “custom-x”. Is there a particular reason for that?
Not complaining, just curious. Actually it took me some time to understand why my pre-4.2.0 jquery plugins were not working

OT: Have they? In my copy of 4.0.8 they use HTML id = custom-x and name = custom_x, the same as they do in 4.2.0. Unless I’m not looking in the same place you are?! You mean on the Write tab, yes?

Re: glz_custom_fields

Oops sorry Bloke, I was terribly wrong (again).
I forgot I had glz_custom_fields installed – which causes the ids to change.
Please consider my question non-existant. thank you

Just sent you an e-mail, waiting to see your changes. Thanks for letting me know about your modded version!

I still didn’t check out the new TXP, will need to have a look first at what has changed. I am aware there are some new methods for plugins and in-built support for unlimited custom fields which shouldn’t require a TXP patch to get the plugin working – yay!

You got mail ;-)

Yep, they are all documented on Textbook to give you a helping hand.

Looking forward to what you can come up with under the new system…
