Ok, thanks for your help. I will now try to figure out why that particular div wrapper is preventing the fancybox functionality.

Yeah, I agree with you. The problem is that I keep getting clients that plug their site url into that w3c validator and then complain. ??

I was just wondering if anyone else ran into this.

If you figure it out, please let me know. The plugin, minus the multi option, has been a huge help in my client projects. Other than the multi option, there is one other stupid thing that would be really helpful… the ability to add section breaks in the custom field forms where you could put some basic text (ie. headers, descriptions, instructions). If you’ve ever used the Gravity Forms plugin for front-end forms you can do this. It would be nice if you could do this with the custom field template plugin.

I gave up on the “multiple field” option. I started developing something for a client (a page template that had a ton of data input fields, all feeding into a specific page template) and in testing ALL of the custom field data on the page was wiped out when I tried to add another data group. There is absolutely no way I could release something like that to a client.

My solution wasn’t much of a solution… I created 4 groups of content in the custom field form and told the client “this template page will allow for up to 4 groups of data, if you find you need more I’ll add additional groups”. Obviously giving the client the ability to just click a button/link to add another group is ideal but if doing so wipes out any work they put into that page I’ll probably never get any more work from them again.

Is there a fix to the issue involving other custom fields randomly being wiped out when updating? I’m trying to create a form for a client and just like Proximty said at various times the content of all other custom fields are being erased. It’s so annoying that I’m thinking of scrapping the “add new multiple field” option and just creating physical fields, say 8 total fieldsets, and telling the client “you can put in a total of 8 content blocks and that’s it”.

In theory the “multiple = TRUE” option sounds great but if it wipes out the data for other fields for no apparent reason I can’t release that to the client.

Has anyone figured out a foolproof solution?

To clarify, the issue involves the “insert into post” command from the media library into a cft textarea field. No matter where you put your cursor, whether it’s to insert an image in paragraph 1 or 3 or 4, it seems to insert all images at the start of the 1st paragraph (ie. the very top of the textarea). Does this happen for anyone else?

You said that you “created a custom field that allows the user to browse for an image in the media gallery”. Can you explain how you did that? Is that a “textfield” as the type?

Hi Bruce,

Thank you! It looks like it will work. I’ll throw each of those shortcodes into left and right floated divs and see what happens. Sorry for taking so long to thank you, I didn’t realize anyone replied to my question until just now.

Yeah, I saw that but I couldn’t get it to work.

I’m assuming you’re referring to this:

<?php
//based on Austin Matzko's code from wp-hackers email list
  function filter_where($where = '') {
    //posts in the last 30 days
    $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) . "'";
    return $where;
  }
add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');
query_posts($query_string);
?>

Any idea on how to combine what I have with the Matzko example?

dpcdesigns,

I just stumbled onto this thread because I’m trying to do the same thing as you did for your login and registration pages on the same page (within your theme template). I see from the link above that you were able to do it… what did you do?

Thanks,
Greg

I’m sorry, you’re correct. It is working. I didn’t realize that if I am already logged in, the login page would not show and that it would just redirect to the home page. I logged out and then tried the login url again and got the login page to show up.
