Re: glz_custom_fields
Sure John, saving works. With css you only hide it from eyes. With jquery remove method, it will be removed out of the DOM.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Hi, just wondering: I’m using the Date Picker for certain fields; can that be used to sort articles by the date entered (and not just numerically?) Doesn’t seem to work so far… Thanks!

Re: glz_custom_fields
Try this way:
Plugins > glz_cf > Options <click> Date Picker > Date format > yyyy-mm-dd
That’s the only way I see offhand.

Re: glz_custom_fields
I am faced with the same requirement to sort by the glz_cf Date picker date and can use the yyyy-mm-dd format to select the date but I also want to display the date in the article in the dd-mm-yyyy format. The only way I can see of doing that is to have two date fields, one in each format. Is there a better way?

Hmmm …
aam_split_cf and sed_packed_custom_fields come to mind.

Easier still: use the “yyyy-mm-dd” format for sorting and a php snippet to display it in another format. Something like:
<txp:php>
$orig_date = custom_field(array('name'=>'custom-field-name'));
echo date("d-m-Y", strtotime($orig_date));
</txp:php>Further information about php date formats here.

Ausgezeichnet, Jakob! Works like a charm.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Jakob Nice snippet. Filed for future use in my open Textpattern library
Maybe also good to add as example to the custom field documentation. Or another place where we collect txp:php snippets!?
