Hi,

I would like to use the custom fields addon to generate a link to a webpage, maybe even another entry in a different pixelpost photoblog. I've tested it out by creating a field, then entering a URL in the image page.

However, it doesn't create a URL you can follow - just displays the web address. What am I doing wrong?

Ideally, I'd like to generate a link based on the field title.

For example, I'm thinking of having supplementary information (behind the scenes) available for certain images on the site - text about the photograph, or a supporting image, and I want this to be stored either on a separate page, or as a separate image (maybe even using a lightbox script or something similar).

Is this possible?

Thanks so much for a great script.

Tom

I don't know if I'm missing anything, but is there a way of sorting by custom fields in the pixelpost Archive page?

I'm currently using Custom Fields to specify the artists name, and for region (I'm using PP for a gallery site), and I've just been asked if we're able to arrange the archive by artist or region.

Tom, I'm sorry for a long answer...
1) You can use HTML-code as a value of custom field.
2) Since ver. 1.3 CF-addon automatically generate HTML-code for values with clean URL like "http://www.google.com" (NB: no spaces at the begin and end of this string).
3) You can use PP-tags like "<SITE_TITLE>" in the custom field values with some modification of CF addon. For example, you have to add code:

PHP Code:

$tpl = ereg_replace("<SITE_TITLE>",$pixelpost_site_title,$tpl); 


BEFORE

PHP Code:

} //if
?> 


If you want use other tags, you must add them to the CF addon code like an previous example (I found code for SITE_TITLE at the source of Pixelpost's "index.php").

Hi,
I asked for "publish an article" (text page) here:
http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9701
This addon isn´t usable, isn´t it? Fields are just for few words...?

you can use custom fields for linking to articel pages (if the articel is relatet to this picture) you wrote with the miniCms addon.
