Re: having urls in custom fields
Hi all,
I have the following code:
<h4><a href="<txp:site_url /><txp:php>echo strtolower(<txp:custom_field name="article_form" />);</txp:php>
"><txp:custom_field name="article_form" /></a></h4>which is obviously incorrect.
Basically, I have a custom field named “article_form” (I am using the glz_custom_fields plugin), and it is a radio type with two options – both have a first letter that is capitalised. I am trying to create a link, using the appropriate field, but with all letters in lowercase.
Can someone please suggest a fix?

Re: having urls in custom fields
I think its a problem with nested quotes. Try this:
<h4><a href='<txp:site_url /><txp:php>echo strtolower(<txp:custom_field name="article_form" />);</txp:php>
'><txp:custom_field name="article_form" /></a></h4>(note the single quotes)

Re: having urls in custom fields
Use the function name instead of the tag inside PHP blocks. Like this:
<h4><a href="<txp:site_url /><txp:php>echo strtolower(custom_field(array('name' => 'article_form')));</txp:php>
"><txp:custom_field name="article_form" /></a></h4>I keep meaning to add this to Textbook somewhere. Must find a slot for it one day.
