Re: glz_custom_fields
I don’t know whether this has been covered before or is even sorted out but I once noted these:
- Like Dale, I’m for a re-ordering mechanism for existing cf’s: Sites tend to change and grow.
- All kinds of inputs with more than one value are sorted alphabetically, not in the order they were entered.
- Copying existing sets would be very helpful, although probably out of scope.
- If you forget entering a cf name all typing is lost (“Ooops! custom set must have a name”). Shouldn’t it check for a name first and thus leave my work/text untouched? Easiest solution: put the text field for cf name last.
- Some improvements for trigger words:
- They shouldtn’t be shown above the menu (at least I don’t have a reason to show them)
- If someone needs them to be displayed: A possibility for a translation would be nice, a “range” is something completely different in German (romp). I tried to change something (don’t remember what exactly, but I think it was simply translating “range”), but obviously there’s a function counting the letters, so my results looked rather odd.
- Furthermore, showing the unit twice in each line of the menu is too much. glz_cf is for pampering my clients so everything should be easy to read and use, good looking, and clean.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Textarea would be great. Also been caught out a couple of times by entering data into CF fields, then choosing “html” or “preview” in the write tab. This results in whatever was entered into the CF being lost. Not a big deal really.
Any updates on progress with 4.2.0 compatibility?

Re: glz_custom_fields
Any hacks for glz_custom_fields
on TXP 4.2 floating around?
Don’t mean to sound to impatient before the next glz_custom_fields
update. I have to make a choice in the next hour whether to make a huge merging of an old install with 4.2 or not. I hack would suffice if could be removed easily enough once made redundant.

Re: glz_custom_fields
I’ll see Kevin’s +1,000,000,000 – and raise it another.
glz_custom_fields is essential.

Re: glz_custom_fields
I have been working away last week on the plugin, it’s almost ready to be e-mailed around, I just need to finish off replacing some of the javascripts which were manipulating the UI, pluggable_ui() has been a delight, thanks again Robert!
I’ve also made a post related to zem_tpl, the plugin had to be broken down into separate components because it was becoming too much to handle. Besides the massive re-organization, we now have improved installation & uninstallation routines, remove the plugin and it will leave your TXP database spotless, as if it wasn’t there : ).
The new plugin functions available in TXP 4.2.0 open the possibilities for some rather exciting stuff, expect some long overdue, highly sought for features to start trickling in.
ETA for a glz_custom_fields() compatible with TXP 4.2.0 is just a few days, there will be at least 1 new feature which will make it worth the wait.
