a) Please, tell me a version of CF addon?

b) Did you use <CUSTOM_FIELDS> tag at your page? You should use only <CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE_ID=NN> tags. Even you set your custom fields to "invisible", in any case they will be shown.

Otherwise I have to go thru all of my pictures and alter the values to achieve a valid css entry (ok this should also be doable with a small SQL-script to fill the table, nevertheless I'm wondering about the "default").

c) "Default value" (and "Alt default value", if you use bilingual feature) - is an initial value, that is automatically fill in into the "value" field when you upload a new photo to the Pixelpost.

Thanks for using Custom Fields addon. Can you attach a screenshots of the front-page and the CF settings at the admin-area?

Ah ok. I'm using the <CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE_ID=NN>, because I only need the values for my css style. I'm using it to set the style.css like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="templates/accessible/styles/<CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE_ID=10>" title="<CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE_ID=11>"
They are displayed anyways, like the screenshot shows. I have not used the <CUSTOM_FIELDS> tag anywhere esle on the page, only the two tags as shown above.

And this answers my 2nd question in a perfect way. Thanks a lot, now the situation is cleared .

Sure, I have attached a screenshot from the admin settings, the setting on the image and the result on the website.
Again thanks for this very useful addon and your helpful answer. There are a lot of things which can be done with it. As someone mentioned above, it should be an initial part of the Pixelpost package .

I stand corrected: silly me had the tag <CUSTOM_FIELDS> in the html code, cause I've only used one costum field until now. I altered it to the value tags and now everything works perfecly!

I think this is a nice idea to switch styles that way for different pictures, cause it's not only possible to switch the background color, but you can switch the style completely simply by using different stylesheets commited thru the custom fields addon.

Crossie, your idea with using css-styles with CF addon is great! Thank you!

Have you any other problems with CF-addon now?

[Crossie]

No Klimin, everything works flawless now. I have implemented the css option on my website already. Only a dark and a light style so far, but as soon as I have some spare time, I'll create some different styles, light grey f.ex. for "fine tuning".

Thanks again!

Hi, I've downloaded this addon, activated but not working for me.

I use the focus theme, and I've pasted the <CUSTOM_FIELDS> code to the comment.php file.

You can visit my site here: www.raulm21.com/pixelpost/

Thanks.

[Crossie]

The Tag goes in your template, not in the core php-files of pixelpost.

[raulm21]

I changed it on the template file, not th pixelpost core-php file.

Thanks

[Crossie]

There ain't no such thing like a comment.php in this template, as far as I know. Where exactly did you put the tag in? Maybe you'll post the part out of the HTML file and your settings in the admin interface.
