Custom Field

[Millards]

Hi

Is anyone experiencing the same as me?
I have created a custom IMAGES field and entered the following in the Text description so that front-end users will know what they are supposed to enter:

Add Your Logo or Product Image

This description appears in the back-end admin area when adding links but it does not appear in the front-end form.

The web browser source code for this custom field is:

<div>
<label></label>
<label class="f_entry"><input class="text3" type="file" name="image" /></label>
</div>

As you can see there is nothing between <label></label>

The following code would be correct

<div>
<label></label>
<label class="f_entry"><%$images%></label>
</div>

I would have thought the description which I entered in the Text Box when creating my custom field would appear between the first opening and closing label tags. In my case this would be : Add Your Logo or Product Image.

<div>
<label>Add Your Logo or Product Image</label>
<label class="f_entry"><%$images%></label>
</div>


The code which appears in add_form.html to generate my custom field is:

<%$custom_field_form%>

This generates the custom field but there is no description generated so that a user knows what the field is.

If you remove custom_form_field and use the code I provided then it will work the way you want.

I have now removed <%$custom_field_form%> (which was originally generated by IndexU) from add_form.html and replaced it with:
<div>
<label></label>
<label class="f_entry"><%$images%></label>
</div>

There is now nothing at all displayed for a custom field.

Try this;

<div>
<label>Image</label>
<label class="f_entry"><input class="text3" type="file" name="image" value="<%$image%>" /></label>
</div>

Hi Mitchell

You are a lifesaver - everything is appearing as it should.

What I don't understand is why IndexU only places the input field together with the browse button but not the description e.g. Image. It does this with <%$custom_field_form%> in add_form.html and the source code in the browser is converted to:
<div>
<label></label>
<label class="f_entry"><input class="text3" type="file" name="image" /></label>
</div>

There is obviously something missing in the original html code.
What this means is if someone is creating a custom field they have to have the knowledge to go into add_form.html and manually over-ride the code which has been generated by IndexU.

In admin back-end the description and input field are generated correctly for custom fields.

Anyway, Thank You again for putting me on the straight and narrow.
