Put $thread[gars3] in your threadbit

[Damir]

I would like to show the same custom filed on gars_pb but $thread[gars3] doesent work any idea?

[The Geek]

[Damir]

No doesn't work any idea?

[Damir]

Can you help me out with this Sam and i am finished with my site.

[The Geek]

you need to put the field name in there, not just gars3... go to custom fields, look at the field name next to the custom field... edit your GARS_pb template... put $post[FIELDNAME] in there. If you want it to appear in the threadbit template... put $thread[FIELDNAME] in it.

Ok i have put this $post[gars6] but nothing the filed name is gars6

587

[The Geek]

Does it appear in the custom field module correctly?

[Damir]

Yes there appears correctly. But when i want to add itin GARS_pb then it dont work i think its a bug.

[The Geek]

Ill test around a bit and try it out.

[Damir]

Ok when will i hear from you?

[The Geek]

Soon :) Just need to run the tests :)

Do you actually need to have the module added to the module set for the custom fields to display in the GARS_pb ?

I don't want to display the module itself - I just want to show the custom field in my postbit template.

I'm having problems too ... I can see the custom field (gars1) in the admin area in all the places I expect it to show - and if I add the module, it shows on the thread as well, but I just want it in the postbit, not in the module.

Adding the following to the postbit doesn't work, in fact just $post[gars1] on its own doesn't work at all either:

<if condition="$post['gars1']">$post[gars1]</if>

Yes that is true Sam is testing it we should soon have more news.

[Damir]

Any news Sam?

[The Geek]

Yup... I can confirm that it works in threadbits as stated above (i.e. $thread[gars1] however it doesnt work as intended in postbits (i.e. $post[gars1]). I class this as a bug and have fixed it for 2.0.1 which will be out in the next couple of days.

[Damir]

[The Geek]

For me it's nice done, thanks.

[Sim]

Another slight problem ... the custom fields are working for me now in the postbit (thanks !) ... but they are not parsing BBCode in the field in either the postbit or the threadbit.

Will add it to the issue tracker.

[The Geek]

hmm.... thanks!
