Multi Text

Mark, top work again.

Not sure if it’s possible but any chance of a backspace parameter? I’d be looking to do something like this:

{websites backspace="1"}<a href="http://{col_2}">{col_1}</a>,{/websites}

For the record, I’m using the Find & Replace plugin to ‘fix’ it right now. Something cleaner would be better though.

{exp:replace find="Websites: ," replace="Websites: "}Websites: {websites}, <a href="http://{col_2}">{col_1}</a>{/websites}{/exp:replace}

Sorry, me again. I’ve just noticed a strange error when using this extension.

The error only happens on pages where I’m using related or reverse related entries. I’m not actually using the extension on these pages.

The error is:

Notice: Undefined index: field_id_60 in \blah\extensions\ext.multi_text.php on line 461

field_id_60 is the custom field set as multi text.

Just fyi, I’m experiencing a similar problem (different extension of Mark’s but same type of use of related content, etc) - here.

Lying in bed I realised it was probably the cache that needed clearing. And it was.

Mark, if the cache does need clearing when you create one of these types of custom fields, would it be possible to do this automatically?

smallbeer, how did you clear your cache? are we talking template cache or sql cache?

smallbeer, is there anyway you could attempt to recreate the issue? Version 1.0.3 is only 457 lines, so it’s strange that you got an error on line 461. Are you running 1.0.3?

just fyi - just tried this and “CP Home › Admin › Utilities › Clear Cached Data” did the trick for same issue with the “File” extension. too. Messages went away after that.

Glad to hear it Rob. I’ll try to see why this is happening.

I’m actually running v.1.0.4 (downloaded from your site yesterday). I cleared all cache but I’m pretty sure I just needed to clear “Cached Relationship Entries”.

And yeah I can recreate the error by just creating a new multi-text custom field and not clearing the cache.

Edit - yeah just cleared “Cached Relationship Entries” and the errors go away.

Yup, that should work.

yeah it works but is there a way for the extension to do it automatically when you create a multi-text custom field ?

I’m not really sure what this extension has to do with related entries but you might be attempting some voodoo with v1.0.4 that I don’t understand yet 😉

Alright, I’ve updated the extension to be 1.0.5 which should fix the error problems and also add a backspace=”” attribute a la Rob’s request.

many thanks as always mark. the backspace was my request too so extra marks 😉

the latest version 1.0.7 also allows you to limit rows by using the syntax col_1="test".
