custom form field

[acio]

Hi all,

first i have to say that INDEXU 3.1 is great.
Hope that my money is still a good investment.

Now i have the first questions.

1. I´ve hacked INDEXU to show custom fields with
radio buttons and menu.
But it shows it not in the admin area.
Only the radiobt and menudd with empty textareas.
How do i do it to show the radiobuttons and menus
in admin area?

2. I´ve created a custom field called language.
What have i to do to show countryflags instead of text?

Hope you all understand my bad english.

I have write technical notes how to use radio button and drop down menu. Please read updated tech.notes in www.indexu.com/technote/

2. I´ve created a custom field called language.

My suggession is:
- you need to add custom filed called country, use varchar type
- you should put drop down menu selection for country list
- you need to have upload county flag image. Put it in a folder called /country_flag. These images has name related to country name or code. Having the same value with in country field.
- then in your rows.html, just put the following code to show flag image

<img src=/country_flag/<%country%>.gif>

I hope this will help.
