Display New Fields on detail.php

[beaker]

OK, it's easy enough to add new fields to a listing, but how do you display them on the detail page? I have not been able to find any info on that as of yet.

they just show up!

Okay thats the simple answer... they shoud jsut show up, as your asked the question im guessign the didnt just show up? Well if thats the case you removed the tag that said <%custom_form_field%> good job! any suceesfful indexU websites is probably going to ditch that and make a nice layout themselves, in the order they want it.

Its as simple as <%fieldname%> stick it into the file :
themes/kosmos/detail_link.html where you want it to show up

Perfect. I thought it was that easy, so I must have tested it on the wrong theme folder.

I also see how the <%custom_form_field%> is popping all my fields at the bottom of the screen... very ugly indeed.

Thanks for the help, and hopefully I'll be able to find this post again next year when I forget how to do it

Just for clarification, I spent a while trying to pull the result from the Database, and trying to assign a <%myfield%> block and trying to pass that through, but that's just not the way to do it!

If you've added an extra field of information into the database, all you need to do is write <%myfieldname%> into the template and it pulls it out.

I didn't think this was the way to do it, but simple seems to be the way it works with this one.

Thanks
