If they are relying on using names, then they should finally take the custom fields from out of admin_config.php and put them in the admin section, in the database.

i believe someone’s working on an admin plugin to make custom fields acceessible through the admin panel. ….right?

I suppose that now the tags have come up there will also be an admin panel option for defining the custom fields. That’s just my guess.

Yes, alicson. That is correct… I have stalled progress for a while until what andreas predicts doesn’t come true.

If the functions and naming go native, the only difference in my plug-in is the ability to only show the custom fields relevant to the current section… so I will finish it. The goalposts just seem to moving nearer as we type.

One thing I have noticed though is that 10 fields split between a lot of sections quickly run out so I was considering a completely separate custom fields implementation with unlimited fields.

can anyone comment on any plans to add custom naming to the txp interface, am i wasting my time?

?
controlling the names of custom fields should be part of the txp interface, like the names of categories are.

i don’t know how the code/php works… is there a reason why we absolutely cannot have more than 10 custom fields?

Hi,

I recently “noted” the existence of the custom fields in TXP. I mean, I know that they were there, but I didnt use them (and I have more than 1 year using TXP, since RC1 was released).

Now, I’m investigating this custom fields, and they are still a mistery for me.
I have a few questions… maybe someone can enlight me.

1. since when this custom fields exist in TXP? they where in RC1? I cant remember

2. which is the reason for this fields to exist? I mean, I cant figure out any use IF the “rei_show_custom” plugin wasn’t invented. So, in other words, if this plug-in wouldnt exist, what can you do with the custom fields? which was their function “originally”?

3. Now, I have read that in the latest TXP version, there is a “txp:custom_field” tag… this new tag… ¿replaces and makes obsolete the “rei_show_custom” plugin?

4. this new tag “txp:custom_field”, is it supported in the official RC3? (I mean in the one that you can download from textpattern.com)

I consider myself an “intermediate” TXP user, but this custom fields are a mistery, and ~~the lack of documentation about them doesn’t help~~. <ins>I should have done a better search http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=8524. But if someone still wants to answer my question, I will be pleased and there will be more information and more points of view about custom fields</ins>.

Thanks in advance. <small>Excuse my ignorance and excuse my english</small>

Mmmmm.

I answer myself question number 4:

4. Yes, it seems to be included in the RC3 from textpattern.com, because this tag was introduced in Thu Apr 21 22:37:22 2005, and the RC3 was posted in Apr29.

To answer your fist question: I’m ~~pretty~~ sure they were there in g.1.19.

And from RC4 you can set them in the admin interface.

No, there wasn’t any use, besides the plugins made to deal with them. Now the ‘rei_show_custom’ is a native feature under 4.0
