Changing the ’Edit’ layout in the admin

webnology, you could do this via an extension. Would you like me to move this to the Extensions forum for you?

yes, thx. I’ll take a look at that.

Hey, Leevi, Mark, any one else doing extensions, any ideas for this?

May be I miss something but the article number is in the first column. But if you want added some extra columns you can use hooks edit_entries_additional_tableheader and edit_entries_additional_celldata.

For example - Weegee from Masuga add edition information (thumbnail image) the same way.

Hay Maxup,

the first column is actually the entry_id, but I meant truly the inhouse article number, like ART_1bis for example. I’llt ake a look at what you posted, but it feels promiing.

Thx, M

I’m kind of lost how to use these hooks. Could someone help me to get this working?

Thx, M

Look, I make small example for you. You just need to install it like usual extension, enable it and then enter the field id number in extension settings.

Hi MAxup,

I instelled the extension, enable it, but what do I need to fill as id. The id of my custom field ‘Article Number’ is ‘nummer’. If I fill in this, it gives me the error that the column does not exist.

Notice: Undefined variable: field_label in /home/pacoor/public_html/system/extensions/ext.edit_custom_field.php on line 139
MySQL ERROR:

Error Number: 1054

Description: Unknown column 'field_id_nummer' in 'field list'

Query: SELECT field_id_nummer FROM exp_weblog_data WHERE entry_id='57'

Where do i go wrong?

M

I think you’ll need the actual id number of the field instead which you will find by going to :

Admin->Weblog Administration->Custom Weblog Fields->(Your Field Group Name)->Add/Edit Custom Fields

Hover over the field that you wish to find the id for and in the status bar you should see a longish link which should have field_id=2 tacked on the end. Where I have placed 2 previously you will find the id number that you need.

You need to hover over the field name in this way because you may one day order the fields in the back end differently and the numbers that show in the back-end are layout numbers as opposed to the actual field id.

Hope that helps. Great little extension by the way MaxUp 😉

Best wishes,

Mark

because ‘nummer’ is not ID. It’s the name. When you edit customer field by Weblog Administration › Field Groups › Custom Fields look in URL C=admin&M=blog_admin&P=edit_field&field;_id=ID last numbers it was you need

Surely it was passable to make option for detected ID by custom field name, but it one more query, so I decided don’t do it.

Mark Bowen It’s just simple example 😊 But, i think webnology request has some ideas for good futures expansion.

Still a great extension though. Not only does it provide a very useful function for a lot of people but it also provides a good example of how to go about creating these kinds of extensions too for developers.

Kudos to you 😊

Best wishes,

Mark

Oh yes, it works. Thank you all very much.

M

Brilliant, thanks MaxUp 😊
