[1.1.2] Can't figure out how to use custom fields

Try with a snippet call:

[[Jot? &subscribe=`0` &pagination=`10` &customfields=`where,status,url,name,email` &tplForm=`SVN_newBug` &tplComments=`SVN_posts`]]

The name and email are default values for custom fields and if you want to add more, you need to define those too if you are using them in your templates.

Ah, I see... Well, that didn’t do the trick either, but I’ll try to rebuild the form from scratch now, to see if that helps.
I may be "code-blinded", which makes the error too obvious to be noticed

Thanks for your effort anyways, though, doze

Thanks, but I got that part
In general, my question is:
How do I put a custom field in the form, and how do I display it in the posts? Is there a special name I have to tag the input field / display variable with?

bk, i was able to take a user provided url from my form and make the users’ names create a link to that url if one was supplied.


from what i understand, the phx part just calls the comment ([+comment.]) form in the Jot snippet with the custom ([+comment.custom]) field of a name url ([+comment.custom.url+]).

and all this statement checks for is if the url field of the form is empty or not. if it isn’t empty, then it inserts an anchor tag before and closes the anchor after the commenters’ name.

Sorry to hijack bkvernst’s thread, but you posted exactly what I’ve been looking for quite some time, wtdtan. I was looking for a way to link a provided url in the user name, or the email address in its absence. You code worked like a charm, but I can’t figure out how to replace it with the email address when the url field is left blank. As it is now, it displays the url of the article being read. Example.

After applying your code to my template it looks like this



I’ve tried with ":else", or ":is`0`:then=" to add this



but since I’m not really familiar with the syntaxis, at best I get both displayed with jumbled code, when I really want the email address if there isn’t a url available.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
