glz_custom_fields

With version 1.3 of the plugin, this is what my custom field overview page looks like:

What can I do about it?

to me this looks a little like you’ve installed another admin theme, right?
(just to isolate the problem)

Or is it not seeing the glz_custom_fields.css… I think the folder changed from ‘scripts’ to ‘plugins’ in this upgrade, or just check to see if you uploaded it

I used “Remora” the newer one of the two that come pre-packed with TXP. I just changed back to the classic theme but the problem remains.

OK – solved it. I re-uploaded both the plugin and the support folder and now it works on both admin-themes.

There doesn’t seem to be a file called glz_custom_fields.css – the CSS for the plugin, if I get this correctly, is packacked in the plugin code.

Thanks for your help.

For some reason whenever I try to add a new Text Area using glz_custom_fields I keep getting the following error.

Warning: BLOB/TEXT column 'custom_10' can't have a default value ALTER TABLE `textpattern` MODIFY `custom_10` TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '' in C:\wamp\www\my-site\textpattern\lib\txplib_db.php on line 89

I’ve noticed that if I ignore the above error message I still get the text area in the Write tab. However I found when adding a lot of text (such as an HTML table) I get the following error message:

Warning: Data too long for column 'custom_10' at row 1 update textpattern set Title = 'Article-Title', Body = 'body-text' C:\wamp\www\mysite\textpattern\lib\txplib_db.php on line 89

Just so you know I’ve changed the Title, Body and site name in the generated error.

— Edit —
Just noticed when I get this error message all of the text I’ve entered into the custom field vanishes. Argh!

If it helps I’m using v1.3.0

Do you have PHPMyAdmin? You could try changing that field to mediumtext or longtext.

Algaris · 2011-11-04 08:22:42

I do but was unsure where to look for it. I tried looking before posting here and found the custom_fields table but all I could see there were entries for custom_2_set.

Hi,
you must change the value in the “textpattern” table for column custom_2

Algaris · 2011-11-08 09:47:38

Thank you redbot. That’s very good to know.

Gerhard: Would it be possible for you to add an option when creating a new Text Area Custom Field to specify its text length? This would save me having to jump into PHPMyAdmin. I’m always afraid I’ll break something if I make a mistake while editing the tables.

I went into the Textpattern table to edit custom_10 which is the custom field I’m using for my text area. In PHPMyAdmin I changed the Type entry from VARCHAR to LONGTEXT and hit save. I then received the following error message which seems to be very similar to the error message I originally had when I created the text area using glz_custom_fields.

Error
SQL query: 
ALTER TABLE `textpattern` CHANGE `custom_10` `custom_10` LONGTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '' 
MySQL said:  
#1101 - BLOB/TEXT column 'custom_10' can't have a default value

I also tried to change the value for custom_2 as redbot suggested and received the same error message.
