Re: glz_custom_fields
I have also installed the latest sed_section_fields to my test site without much success. None of the options seem to affect what appears in the write tab, even for users with lesser access privileges. Though the sections tab display is restyled somewhat so parts of it seem working.
Also, what exactly does ‘Treat as a static section?’ do?
Thanks,
Phil

A static section doesn’t show in the sections dropdown for user level below 2.
Very useful if you have some sections (search results for example) in which a user should never post an article.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Sorry about that error guys, download sed_section_fields and re-install from the same location, it’s all good now.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Phew, works again. Thanks, Gerhard :)
(In order to avoid confusion the version# should be increased.)
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: glz_custom_fields
It would be useful to update net-carver’s original post about sed_section_fields and the download section of his site with the latest version modified by gerhard.

Re: glz_custom_fields
I’ve noticed that if I name a custom field like this “on_section_frontpage” it’s renamed to something like this “onsectionfrontpage”.
Does anyone else noticed this?

Thanks, redbot.
Apart from this, probably it isn’t useful in your case but I now remember some months ago I made a very short and raw plugin which lets you give a ‘title’ (as per txp terminology) for your custom fields names.
Nice! It seems to work ferpect, although it isn’t compatible with MLP, right? No problem about it.
And yes, it’s useful, because it seems (at least on my local install) that glz_custom_fields is interfering with the MLP ability to create human-friendly titles for custom fields…
I’ve tested that, by disabling glz_custom_fields, the custom fields titles (managed by the MLP) works fine. Re-enabling glz_c_f, the human-readable titles are dismissed.
@Gerhard, do you think you will be able to take a look at it? You may want to join here.
Thanks again, redbot and Gerhard.

Yes, it isn’t compatible but in some circumstances I think is better than nothing

You are right again. I remember there was a discussion between me and Steve/net-carver some months (years?) ago about this problem which seemed to be unsolvable (it’s buried in the mlp thread, here (down the page – item 034) and here).
At the end I found a dirty solution hacking some textpattern file (don’t remember which one). If you want I can send you some notes I wrote at the time (if I find them) but I think this solution is not advisable – every upgrade becomes a torture ;(
I think maybe a relatively simpler way could be to modify bot_cf_titles code – even if I can’t imagine how now (it’s late and I’m sleepy).

Re: glz_custom_fields
I found after upgrading to the latest glz_ my States and Countries list was re-sorted. For example, my countries select list starts now with South Korea and ends with Zimbabwe.
Between the two, the list goes from S-A, then starts again with Sri Lanka-Zimbabwe. No idea why this happened (I did not do anything) so thought I should put it out there for Gerhard.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Here’s an idea/feature suggestion:
An option to input PHP instead of Values in the CF editing screen. Upon entering the Write tab, the PHP script gets executed and returns the value(s) for the customfield. A sort of mini-plugin for glz_c_f.
