Display Custom Fields

[Glenn]

Hi - Searched and didn't find an answer.

Added a custom field - State. It is a checkbox.

It shows during entry of listing, during search and approval but not when viewing the listing.

Do I need to add the custom field to make it show up?

TIA

Yes, you have to add your custom field to the "detail_link.html" page.
Just add this

<%$state%>

to your detail_link page, any where that you want it to be shown.

I have added few custom field like phone, fax, address, city, zip but if any of field has no data how can I hide that field.

Basically I want to display info on listing page which has data for that field.

I am using IndexU Deulxe 1 version.

Try some thing like this;

<%if $custom_field%>
Custom Field: <%$custom_field%>
<%/if%>

I have been told by IndexU tech support to " look in the forums' to find out how to add a custom field to the link form page... well 2 days later and we are still struggling, it seems like half of the software is just fabulous, but half is a nightmare. you would think that they would put a disclaimer in for any end user attempting to buy this software, that you cant add a custom field with out 3-4 days of expert coding work... I am so frustrated, client has 6 simple questions that have to be added to the link fields, and nothing we try works. indexU is right, there are 17 posts about adding custom fields, but none of them tell you how to really do it....

Lets see here.

Admin Panel - Links - Custom Field
Enter information, click Add Field
Done

The custom field now appears on a whole bunch of pages.
