SL Field Formatting : Pain-free customisation of EE's field formatting options.

After a bit more research, I think my problem was unrelated to this plugin (just pure coincidence that I noticed the problem right after installing this plug.)

Sorry! :(

Loving this extension though!

Have an excellent day.

Cheers, Micky

No problem Micky, thanks for letting me know. Glad you’re liking the addon.

Anyone else having any trouble w/ this extension?

Ran into a problem where I couldn’t add a custom field. Through the tedious process of elimination, turning off & on groups of extensions, I can now add a field, but the settings page for Field Formatting gives me a white screen.

I downloaded and replaced the files, but still no go.

Ideas?

Hmmm, just as a starting point, can you turn on PHP error reporting?

If you open up /system/index.php, do something like this:

//error_reporting(0);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Just to see if the plugin page for SL is giving you any PHP errors.

No errors reporting - still just a white page.

Hi,

I’ll start with the usual questions:

1. EE version & build?
2. PHP version?
3. MySQL version?
4. Third-party extensions and plugins?

Also, @grantmx mentioned having a problem with this on one site, which was then resolved (without my input). Perhaps he could shed some light on this.

P.S. Thanks for your help @mhulse 😊

A little gem for a religious Textiler like myself. Thanks.

Stephen I’m having the same problem as @ContextDesign, but I traced it to having SL Field Formatting and SmartDown installed at the same time. When I remove that plugin everything works fine.

1. EE version & build? EE 1.6.8 Build 20100121
2. PHP version? 5.2.10
3. MySQL version? 5.1.37
4. Third-party extensions and plugins? Lots, but removing SmartDown seems to let me get into SL Field Formatting. I’m having the same issue with the Plugins manager, I can’t see it when SmartDown is installed.

Hi Wes,

Stephen I’m having the same problem as @ContextDesign, but I traced it to having SL Field Formatting and SmartDown installed at the same time. When I remove that plugin everything works fine.

This sounds like an awful lot like this problem, caused by SmartDown being unable to load the required Markdown Extra and SmartyPants classes.

So, questions: 1. Have you moved the system directory to another location? Above the web root, for example? 2. Have you checked the permissions on the smartdown folder (and its contents) in the plugins directory?

Cheers, Stephen

P.S. Once this question is resolved, I’ll be officially “closing” this thread, and moving all support to here. Just a heads-up.

Stephen, thanks for the reply. I’m going to take the conversation to the support thread you posted.

Thanks Wes, I appreciate it.

Hello all,

In an attempt to keep things manageable, I’ve moved support for the Field Formatting add-on to the Experience Internet support site.

I’m still subscribed to this thread, but any future posts with be greeted with a polite request to re-post on the official support site.

Cheers, Stephen
