How to determine if a new fluid field is a fluid field in display_field

If you check $this->content_type(), does it return fluid_field?

That returned channel inside the display_field() method

Ah ok, I’m not sure we can change that either since Fluid technically works with Channel fields. Lemme volley this over to Seth.

In system/ee/EllisLab/Addons/fluid_field/ft.fluid_field.php change lines 579 to 582 to just:

$field->setItem('fluid_field_data_id', $fluid_field_data_id);

Let me know if that works.

Hi Seth,

That does not work. On adding a new field the variable fluid_field_data_id still does not exists.

It should exist, but be set to NULL. How are you testing it’s existence? You should be able to do array_key_exists('fluid_field_data_id', $this->settings).

Hi Seth,

I test it now by just dumping var_dump($this->settings); the settings array. But with the possible fix you suggest, the key is not in the settings array. When the field exists, the key is in the settings table.

Try adding $f->setItem('fluid_field_data_id', NULL); at line 349 of system/ee/EllisLab/Addons/fluid_field/ft.fluid_field.php and see if that resolves it.

Hi Seth,

saw you pushed it already on the new build 😉 Also here the confirmation it worked!
