[4webmasters.us]

Hi All!! I am trying to ad custom fields to the submission form, and to the link displays, my specialty is not php, and just wanted to know has anyone come up with a solution/hack for this?
eg>
submit form:
name:
email:
link title:
Description:

contact name:

I need fields added to the submit form, then diplayed accordingly on the links in the directory

Thankyou in advance

4web,

You can add custom fields through the admin panel. Just click on Alter under Database Tables the add the Field name you want. This will automatically be added to the submission form.

You can the edit Rows.html to include these new custom fields on the links display. If you add the field phone then you should add <%phone%> on rows.html next to the links.

Thanks for that!! Greatly appreciated, but I want to add more custom fields than the ones already displayed, I can edit language, more_info etc fields + I need another 3 fields -- is this possible, is there a hack for this??

Thanks in advance

I added custom fields for address, city, county, phone, fax, keywords, and zipcode all through admin. You can add a lot of extra fields. You can also add extra fields using phpMyadmin but its easier to just do it through the admin panel.

On the custom field Keywords I made this searchable so that not only does title and description get searched but also the Keywords field! This was a great addition. Here's how to do it!

Thanks for your response, I just have another question, 'is there a special link to add custom fileds too? I went to database settings, and I can only see the option to alter the original 3 custom fields, how do I add fields on top of these?? Sorry, I am just anxious to get this working correctly!
Thanks again Craven for your help

When you log into the Admin Panel of Indexu there is the menu to the left. Under Database Tables click on Alter. Then scroll down the right page to Add New Field. Type in the name and type and you're set. Thats all there is to it. I hope this helps.

Are you trying this through the Admin Panel?

Craven,
Thanks, I understand how to do it now, but what are the other 2 feilds for : Type & Default Value ? what would I put in here to add the custom field?

Thanks

[craven]

I used varchar (255) for the type on all the custom fields and left the Default Value blank. It works so I've never really tried to figure it out.

If anyone else knows what these fields are for please let us know!!

4web, those fields are very useful when you know mysql.

Type: is type of field, each type has its range value.
- varchar is up to 255 characters
- text is up to 65k char

default value is the default value that will filled in mysql database when the input is empty.

Is it possible also to add a checkbox/radio button to the submit form, and if so...how?

kooks, please wait about this. I'll write tech note about this soon.
