{$CUSTOM_FIELD_1}

I'd like to change {$CUSTOM_FIELD_1} into a text area in editbasic.tpl, but the tpl file only mentions {$CUSTOM_FIELD_1} itself. How do I actually edit its contents?

For that, you'll need to actually edit the editbasic.php script. Around line 309.

Hi Rick,

Believe it or not, but editing those lines does nothing!

Hi Rick,

Any chance we'll get a custom field size feature in future control panels?

I haven't tested itmyself (as I don't really have a need to use a text area) but you've tried changing this:

Code:

	if ($config['CUSTOM_FIELD_1']) {
		$CUSTOM_FIELD_1 = "
		{$config['CUSTOM_FIELD_1']}
		<br />
		<input type=\"text\" name=\"CUSTOM_FIELD_1\" value=\"$CUSTOM_FIELD_1\" class=\"form-input\" />
		<br />
		<br />
		";
	}

in scripts/editbasic.inc.php? It seems trivial, I'm just hoping that you tested the correct areas in your search.

Hi Gizmo,

Indeed. For some funny reason, it doesn't change anything.

Did you clear your cache after editing files?

I'm getting really curious after the solution to this riddle...

Changing that on my test system works ok. Do any other template changes to that script work for you? Just curious if maybe it's caching an old template. If the templates/compile directory doesn't have full permissions it could be holding on to an old compiled template.

It seems indeed it's holding on to an old template. Howver, template changes from the Control Panel do work. Changes made straight in the php file don't work.

The Templates/compile directory has full permissions.

The Templates directory has no write permissions for Group and Public.

Is that correct?

Missed your earlier reply. Permissions sound ok. One thing you can try to see if it's a permission problem is to delete everything from within the templates/compile directory and see if your changes are visible. This will force it to recompile the template and the output.

I'm ashamed, so ashamed. I thought the HTML syntax for textareas was exactly the same as for other input fields... but it seems I was wrong. This works:

PHP:

<textarea name="CUSTOM_FIELD_1\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"5\" wrap=\"soft\" class=\"form-input\">{$CUSTOM_FIELD_1}</textarea>

This does not work:

PHP:

I'm so sorry for wasting your time... It worked correctly right from the beginning. I just don't know how HTML works $\:D$
