glz_custom_fields

no idea whether the plugin is compatible with MLP, never tried the 2 together.

Oh, sorry, I thought that previously there had been efforts to make them compatible. Maybe the effort was done in the MLP side. Or maybe I’m just confused.

Good point about underscores. Changed the behavior so that it accepts both – & _ characters in custom field names.

Cool, but still there may be a little problem (don’t hate me!): hyphen is not a valid character for custom field names. I’m not sure if using it triggers any unexpected behaviour/bug. I would say that hyphenated custom field names may screw up something when using them as attributes in article/article_custom (custom-field-name="value").

From the Textbook: “Custom names may include letters (uppercase or lowercase), numbers and under_scores, but no spaces or other special characters”.

My experience may be exceptional, but I’ve used hyphens and underscores in custom field names forever, and with glz_cf, with no problems.

I’ve been using hyphens for quite a long time now without problems. I asked at the time, and others confirmed they’re OK to use.

Thanks Gerhard! Donation in the mail.

I wonder if anyone has had any luck registering headings above CF groups in the write tab. Something like what follows:

Location

Lat
Long

Event

Place
Time

and so…

Collapsable groups (on heading click) beneath headings a plus when plagued with 20+ CFs.
Beyond inserting headings under Advanced Options, I thought I had heard somewhere it might be possible to insert a custom field in the same column (center) as the title and body fields in the write tab.
I assume hacks are needed…? Any _clean_ones? Or better, a plugin that might jive with glz_custom_fields?
Maybe this sort of things can be added to the coming features list? :)

I’ve installed the most recent version of the plugin (v.1.2.3) and it seems “glz_if_custom_field” doesn’t work anymore. This is the code, which has worked until now.

<txp:glz_if_custom_field name=“speciaal” val=“Uitverkocht”><img src=”/images/uitverkocht.png” class=“uitverkocht” alt=“uitverkocht” /></txp:glz_if_custom_field>

The custom field “speciaal” is a checkbox, with “Uitverkocht” as one of the options.

You can replace <txp:glz_if_custom_field and </txp:glz_if_custom_field> with <txp:if_custom_field and </txp:if_custom_field>.

That was easy ;)

Cheers Josh, you’re a star!

You’re right, there are people which have as much as 50-60 custom fields, having everything under a single heading is madness. I’ve already added it on my upcoming features list.

Beyond inserting headings under Advanced Options, I thought I had heard somewhere it might be possible to insert a custom field in the same column (center) as the title and body fields in the write tab.

Yes, that is true for textarea custom fields. All textarea custom fields are automatically placed in the main column.

You’ve given me some great ideas Josh, thanks!

Hey Michiel,

that glz_if_custom_field has been removed right after v1.2.0. I wanted better TXP 4.2.0 support so I’ve decided to get rid of the extra tags, use the stock ones (if_custom_field & @custom_field).

This is a question to you all. I was wondering if you’ve noticed any strange behaviour with the stock tags. I know that my tags were handling fields with multiple values nicely (e.g. one|two was output as one, two), but it didn’t feel like they were adding enough value. The bottom line is, are the stock tags up to scratch or do you need something more helpful/powerful?

I’ve forked Steve’s sed_section_fields and made a few minor changes to make sed_section_fields work with the most recent glz_custom_fields v1.2.3 and TXP 4.2.0

Not to forget sed_cf_lib

Hi all,
Thanks for the update to sed_section_fields, quick question: what items to I need to install to get it working, just the sed_plugin_library.v0.5.2.gz.txt or are there other support files needed too? Sorry, I know this is the glz_custom_field thread but there installation instructions on the sed_section_fields thread seem a bit confusing to me.
Thanks,
Phil
