glz_custom_fields

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.

You need to remove the DEFAULT '' from the end of the query to get rid of the error. So if you have a default value set for that column in phpMyAdmin, clear it before saving the changes.

Thank you Bloke. The Dafault entry was set to As defined from its drop down. When I changed it to None everything worked.

I guess this means for each custom text field I have on the Write tab I’ll have to edit its entry in PHPMyAdmin.

One more quick question. If I wanted to style a custom field I’ve created with glz_custom _fields (such as increasing its width and height) is there an easy way to do so with CSS?

Install the bot_wtc plugin. It allows you to assign each custom field a CSS class.

Hi Gerhard

I donated earlier today, any chance you can send me the link to download?

Thanks,
Mats

Been looking through this thread to find out how to find the value of a select type of custom field – say for example we have select options One, Two and Three within a custom field named Content_type.

How to display content if the value ==Three? Something like this:

<txp:if_custom_field name="Content_type{Three}"> 
	<div class="image"><txp:body /></div>
	</txp:if_custom_field>

<txp:if_custom_field name="Content_type" value="Three"> 
	<div class="image"><txp:body /></div>
</txp:if_custom_field>

I can’t remember using the select field for something right now, but I think this is how the if_custom_field tag works.

Oh boy I completely forgot about the value="" check in the if_custom_field tag….!!

Just a suggestion for an improvement:

Although you can override the default install directory (/plugins) for certain glz_custom_fields files (I use /textpattern/glz_custom_fields as I like to keep things out of the root directory as much as possible) the plugin still looks for some of it’s files within the default /plugins folder.

Need a way to override that really, at the moment I have to manually edit the plugin code to point to my preferred directory.

Cheers,
Phil

I’m using this custom script to input categories as options on a select menu. How do I change it to a multi-select?

<?php
function list_clients($custom_field, $custom_id, $custom_value) {
    $categories = array();
    $query = safe_rows('name, title', 'txp_category', 'parent like "client"');
    foreach ($query as $category)
        $categories[$category['title']] = $category['title'];
    return glz_selectInput($custom_field, $custom_id, $categories, $custom_value, "");
}
?>
