FieldFrame

hi there,

I have a very strange problem with filefield and ffmatrix. I get strange output when I use the single tag, and when I use the tag pair it just doesn’t render

single tag output:

a:11:{i:0;a:1:{i:1;s:21:"home_gutschein_01.jpg";}i:1;a:1:{i:1;s:15:"home_espana.jpg";}etc

tag pair output: {home_bild_matrix}{file_url}{/home_bild_martix} -> it doesn’t render!

well, I have to say, that I created a field with gypsy, then I deleted it, I renamed it, I change the weblogs, deleted the gypsy field, renamed it, did some wierd stuff, and put it back to my first try… so I did some wierd things… on other installations it’s working perfectly, and in fact I can’t thank you enough for making this extension..

so basically my question is: how do I reset this? I’ve cleared caches, disabled the extension… but I just don’t get rid of this strange behaviour?!

anybody an idea?

cheers stefan

edit: the code was too long…

@outline4 - That means that FieldFrame isn’t getting loaded on the template side. Are you using a relative path for the Fieldtypes Folder setting that wouldn’t work from a different URL?

hi brandon,

no I’m using absolute paths in the setting. check this: http://www.yamatuti.ch/index.php/home/test

this is the code for it: (test_test) is my matrix field…

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="test" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
       {test_test}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

something is very wrong here.. I’ve especially created a new weblog, with a new field… like the beasty boys say: I think I’m loosing my mind this time I’m loosing my mind 😉

I will check my php ini in an instance…

@outline4 - maybe an extension conflict then?

did you look on the output? it’s looking all wierd? like a broken matrix…

I’ll try to disable all things I don’t need, and report back… cheers

@outline4 - what you’re looking at is the serialized Matrix data that’s stored in the DB. The only reason you’d see that in the template is if FieldFrame can’t access your fieldtypes from the template (due to a relative Fieldtypes Folder Path), or another extension is overwriting the updated template code that FieldFrame returns to the system.

you’re a genius. I deactivated all the extension - one by one - and it was foxEE that mixed it up! man… 2h wasted… but at least I know where the problem is. thanks so much brandon. I just coudn’t imagine that another extension could do this.. but you were right! yeee-haaa 😉

hi brandon,

It would be absolutely fantastic to have an import option for the MH file field (like the datamatrix option)

I have so many sites with marc huots file extension installed (all of them have multiple uploads enabled), and I would like to change all to FF Matrix with ngen File field.

would be a big time saver!! I would buy you a big beer or whatsoever!

cheers stefan

@outline4 - I agree! But I didn’t make nGen File Field. You should talk to them: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/110252/

hi brandon, I’m sorry, but I guess I have to ask you to do it, since marc’s file extension would have to be replaced with a FF Matrix. In fact, the ngen file field has an import option for File fields which only contain ONE file…

so, we would need something that import multiple files into an FF matrix.

you could import the filenames into a text field (in the matrix). then, once you have the filenames, you can change the field it to ngen file field, aaand… ta taaaa: the thumbs get created automatically, and the images are displayed correctly… this already works!!! I tested it and it works like a charm.. back and forward..

so, please please please… this would be fantastic… I already bought you a beer… to get started with 😉

cheers stefan

Hi Brandon,

I’m having the same problem as Steve Hurst:

http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/108082/P36/#562110

The {row_count} seems to equal the individual cell count and the {total_rows} variable seems to indicate just the total number of rows and not all the individual cells.

So I’m using FF matrix with two columns and my {row_count} goes up to 8 on one entry but my {total_rows} is only 4.

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks

@outline4 - fair enough. I’ll see what I can do 😊

@fodney - I’m pretty sure I fixed that a while ago. Are you using FieldFrame 1.1.2?

Hi Brandon,

I’m using 1.0.5

Hi Brandon,

I just upgraded to 1.1.2 but I’m still having the same issue. My {total_rows} is showing up as 4 but it should be 8 because I have two columns, right?

Thanks
