FlexiContent from SVN

There is a change on the way fields are created: they are created only if they are to be displayed.

Please clarify AND DO this:
1. In the frontend at the items view or at the category view you don't see the fields? Or on both views you don't see the custom fields
2. You don't see only custom fields or you also don't see core fields like title and description?
3. Are you using custom templates, not 'default' or 'blog' right?
4. Try temporarily to assign to one item the default template and test. And the same do for one category and test
5. Because there are changes in the parameters of Universal Flexicontent module, please open the universal module check parameters and SAVE again, and test.

You are from the first to upgrade, so provide some feedback. Please answer the above 5 questions/suggestions

Regards

Ok thanks for your interest. I've been doing some tests but no luck.

1- My website only on contains item views, so I can't say about category views.

2- No fields at all, core AND custom.

Note : On my custom templates, the "hide main text field" is turned ON (in the backend Type page, right column, second option after "content template"). I tried to turned it off and add some core fields in the template but still no luck.

3- All templates are custom. Fields are called this way:
4- I tried to apply the default template (item) to one of my content, and add custom fields to the code. Core fields are displayed, but not custom.

5- Indeed, after re-saving the module conf I was able to see the core fields, but custom fields do not appear.

I can provide an akeeba backup of the site if you need it.

Thanks a lot.

The custom fields did not appear on the default because you have not assigned them to the default's template item view ?

Check that you have assigned custom fields to the default template and retest.

Also go to the universal module and check that you have specified the field names correctly (compare the names with the field manager).

Yes I tried this :

4- I tried to apply the default template (item) to one of my content, and add custom fields to the code. Core fields are displayed, but not custom.

I double checked the module and labels are correct.

I've been through a second complete verfication process in the backend and everything seems okay.

Goto file

components/com_flexicontent/classes/flexicontent.fields.php

Temporarily:
1. uncomment the lines 104-116
2. comment out the line 104
3. and insert line (just after 104):
$always_create_fields_display = 1;

Test if they appear.

Regards

he he.... it works !!

I need to do a little more testing on custom modules, get back to you shortly.
