glz_custom_fields

@ alanfluff -

Good idea! I previously had a limit=“4” (which fit the design), but had since removed that. Based on your comment, I have added limit=“999”, but again, no luck.

Many thanks for your continued attention and assistance.

Have you ruled out the linked form being the problem? Try this and see if you get any output…

<txp:article_custom section="news" on_home_page="y" sort="custom_13 asc" limit="999"><p>this works</p></txp:article_custom>

If you get a list of ‘this works’ output, then that means the form is where the problem is.

Hmm, I had this noted down a while back to remind me how I fixed this once, dunno if it’s applicable here, hope so:

Best practice is that custom names may include letters (uppercase or lowercase), numbers and under_scores, but no spaces or other special characters.

Luck! Cheers, -Alan

@ philwareham -

I used the code as you suggested and got a list of ‘this works’ output.

However, my form is really, really simple: <p><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></p>

Do you still think that my form might be the problem?

@ alanfluff -

Cheers for that recommendation. I thought about that too, and per your recommendation changed ‘news-listing’ to ‘news_listing’. Still no dice!

Remove some of the criteria from the article_custom for now, such as the on_home_page and if not that then also the section, whittling away complexity until the sort order is correct, then add back one at a time to see if that suggests anything?

A tough one! Luck, cheers, -Alan

In your original post your code suggested it was linking to a form labelled as ‘news’ yet in your last message you state it is labelled ‘news-listing’ (or ‘news_listing’), is that the problem?

Have you looked at the tag trace?

I set up a custom field for colors. My client told me that the plugin only allows for them to check off up to 26 colors. So no matter if they check off more than 26 colors, they will still be limited to 26. Suggestions?

Custom fields are varchar128. Try to make it varchar256 in phpMyAdmin.

Edit: No, I lied, they’re varchar 255 right now. Set it higher, anyway.

I think they are limited to 255 characters if memory serves well. Try modifying the column type (MySQL or phpmyadmin) to VARCHAR(65535), the maximum allowed size for this type of column.

I’m assuming I should modify the Length/Values field in the Value box to 65535? Sorry, total php newb.

EDIT: I tried setting it to 65000 (65535 didn’t seem to work) but this has no effect on allowing me to tick off more colors.

Also, is there a way to align the boxes next to the name? On my site, the boxes are 1 row above the actual name of the field so it is confusing to figure out which box goes with which field. See example http://whatilovemost.com/custom-colors.jpg
