CustomFields 1.0

By Arvind Satyanarayan on | Filed under Plugins » CustomFields | Comments (4)

At long last I'm proud to release CustomFields 1.0. I had previously mentioned this plugin and had created a DropCash campaign for it. The campaign surprised me as it reached its target much quicker than I had estimated. A massive thank you to all those that donated towards the campaign and also to all of those that donated subsequently. I was especially happy as 20% of the proceedings was donated to help the Hurricane Katrina victims.

Read the announcement to find out more about CustomFields, otherwise go grab your copy!

This is the day I've been waiting for! Thanks a lot for this plugin!

One question remains: Is there a recommended way to display a custom field and some other text only if the field has been filled? I've tried with MTIfNonEmpty, but failed... any ideas how to make it work? Thanks in advance.

eszpee, MTIfEmpty and MTIfNotEmpty do work with this plugin. You just have to get the syntax, the brackets, and the single/double quotes right. Here's what I used:

<MTIfEmpty expr="[MTEntryData field='Video - Quicktime'][MTEntryDataFieldValue][/MTEntryData]">No Quicktime here!</MTIfEmpty>
<MTIfNotEmpty expr="[MTEntryData field='Video - Quicktime'][MTEntryDataFieldValue][/MTEntryData]">Quicktime here!</MTIfNotEmpty>

Hope that helps!

(Awesome plugin, Arvind!)

I did find a small bug, though--you cannot use double quotation marks in the value for your custom field, or else when you hit "save", the field with the quotes will vanish.
