    I’m having difficulty with the NewsEditor snippet

    I’m using it to manage blog posts. And there is a category tv that is a drop-down menu for each post. I don’t know how to transfer that tv to the front-end: I’m creating a form in order to edit and create blog posts using NewsEditor but how do I tie that tv into the form?

    Thanks

      ok. Additionally, I’m having problems with the content field. I’ve gone over the documentation field a dozen times but I’m still missing something. I’m always getting the error:

      Missing news content.


      • I’ve set up a tv (blogConent) using RichText
      • I included the @eval code - and when pages loads content is there
      • I included the parameter in NewsEditor snippet &rtcontent=`blogContent`

      Something isn’t working...

      So this is two issues I’m having with this.

      Thanks

        Hah, smiley

        ok I got the content tv issue figured out. In the snippet call you HAVE to prefix ’tv’ to the beginning of whatever template variable you are using for your content field. Such as:

        [!NewsEditor? &folder=`15` &postid=`64` &template=`tw-blog-post` &formtpl=`ne_formtpl` &rtcontent=`tvblogContent` !]


        I still need a pointer on how to integrate a drop-down menu tv into this form.

        Anyone?
