Easy way to use CustomField

[LazyBadger]

For one of my projects I want to use CustomField, which will contain image.
Yes, I know: I can write img src="uploads/*stars.gif", but - it's long and not bulletproof writing.
I'll prefer to write smth. like{$one}...{$ten} as CF-value
Can I do it andif yes - how?

I think the custom fields option of the extended entry properties plugin is just what you're looking for.

Well, custom fields from ExtendedProperies is tool of choice (and was before I started topic - I just don't know another solution).
I just asked - how to write in field less text, if I have (5-10) hardcoded patterns and too lazy repeat all html every time

You only need to do that once in the plugin setup, not every time?!

You could also code a simple PHP script that creates your patterns so that you can copy&paste them:

Code: Select all

<?php
$patterns = explode('content,description,header');
$iterations = 10;
$i = 0;
while($i <= $iterations; $i++) {
  $i++;
  foreach($patterns AS $pattern) {
    echo $pattern . $i . ",";
  }
}

In plugin setup I can change fields count, field name and nothing (?) more. My task is
in single field in every entry write like this (changeable parts are italicized)

<img src="uploads/one.gif">&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<span class="one">Terrible</span>

Using event_smarty for CF can be excellent solution

Hi!

Sure, you can simply enter "one" in your custom field, and then change your entries.tpl to use that placeholder to emit the complete HTML.
