How do I add a custom field to the weblog entries listing on the Edit Tab

You’d need an extension to do this. Moving to the appropriate forum.

Take a look at the Pinpoint extension. Should give a good starting point on how to go about doing that.

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Thanks I’ll definitely take a look at that. I’m thinking that will help me get started. I wondered if there was an extension that allowed me to specify what fields I wanted to add. Perhaps I’ll have to create it 😊

Yep unfortunately there isn’t one that I know of that allows you to specify the field itself in a setting or whatever but I reckon that it could probably be added into an extension settings page which is then picked up within the extension itself.

Would definitely be a custom solution though.

Best wishes,

Hey CW, see this thread

I had the same request and they whipped up a simple example for me that works pretty well. Download the latest version at the bottom of the page.

Thanks James, I will take a look at that.

Oops forgot about that one. Well actually to tell the truth when I wrote what I did above I got completely confused and was thinking we were after something else so my brain didn’t register properly!! 😊

Time for some sleep methinks!

Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve implemented it and even modified the code to pull the field based on label instead of ID:

Awesome, thanks for giving back CW. You should be sure to add it to http://devot-ee.com/ so future people can find it. 😊
