How to add custom fields?

Hi there,

So looking at this snippet:

apply_filters( 'auto_listings_metabox_description', 'add_custom_field' );
 
function add_custom_field( $fields ) {

$prefix = '_al_listing_';
$fields[30] = array(
'name' => __( 'Custom Field', 'auto-listings' ),
'desc' => __( 'A custom description', 'auto-listings' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'custom_field',
'type' => 'text',
);
 
return $fields;
}

You need to paste this into your functions.php file of your active theme.

You should then see this new field in the admin area when adding a listing. It should be in the Description section.

If you wanted to add say a ‘Wheel Color’ field, you would change the following lines in the code to:
Change ‘Custom Field’ to ‘Wheel Color’
Change $prefix . ‘custom_field’ to $prefix . ‘wheel_color’

That is the very basics of it. Here are a couple of links that may help:

Hope this helps. If you need anything else, please let us know.

Thanks for the guide. But its not working.

I put the snippet in my functions.php in the child theme – and nothing.

Right now i have a open ticket on Auto Listing website regarding Divi theme conflict. Maybe its the same issue here.

Hi Erkan,

I’ve just sent you the patch for the DIVI theme conflict.

And I have just logged into your site and added the correct code for the custom field.
The code above should be:

add_filter

instead of

apply_filter

You can see the custom field when adding a listing now.

If you have further questions or issues, please use the open ticket on the AutoListings site. It makes it easier for me to keep track of.

Thanks
