 Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2003 7:54 am Post subject: b2customfields 2: Better custom post field functionality |
 |
|
Or how about 'b2customfieldserer'? Or maybe even 2 b2customfields 2 furious'?That's right, it's back! Back and better than ever. At least better than 2 fast 2 furious, trust me on that one. I believe I located the problem that seems to have caused about half the people who attempted to install it to get mysql errors, and I fixed it. I also wrote in some extra functionality that I'm sure you all will appreciate. Now, not only can you make a custom field that's an input box, but you can also make a textarea, select box, or checkbox! Let me know if you have any problems installing or anything, but this time should go over smoother than last time. Thanks!

Any chance you'll post instructions for an upgrade from an older version? I've been using it for quite some time now, but haven't a clue what I'd have to replace to get the new functionality.

Your best bet for an upgrade is to completely uninstall the original b2customfields (just reverse all the steps of the original installation - instructions here - omit altering the database however), then run the following SQL query in place of Step 1:
| Code: |
ALTER TABLE `b2customfields` ADD `field_options` TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `b2customfields` ADD `field_type` TEXT NOT NULL;
|
Then, continue on with the installation process as normal. I wrote some very sloppy code in the first release, so it would be relatively painful to try and write proper upgrade instructions. That's one of the reasons that using this more recent version is relatively critical.

add the functions directly before the ?>, outside of any brackets. I'm not quite sure I understand you though with the database tables. What do you mean that they don't 'show up'?

| Code: | | Mood: <?php getcustomfield('mood'); ?> |
If your template currently looks like that, replace it with this:
| Code: | <?
$mood = getcustomfield('mood');
if(!empty($mood)){
echo "Mood: ".$mood;
}
?> |
If your field is not called 'mood', then edit the code accordingly.

Then you missed the 6th step:
| Quote: | __________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Step 6: Open up the file b2-include/b2menutop.txt. Before the '***', |
| add the following line. Adjust the '10' to reflect the minimum level |
| the user needs to access the section in the administrative panel: |
| between 0 and 10. I reccomend leaving it at 10, unless you have a co- |
| administrator. |

10 b2fields.php Custom Fields |

It appears that you bungled the step where you add functions to b2functions.php. If you want to package up the file and mail them my way ([email protected]) I'll take a look at it for you.
