Leevi, I’m trying this out but in my template the tags aren’t being parsed.

Using the code…

{lg_data_matrix limit="10"}
{rows}
<li><a href="{cf_news_links_url}">{cf_news_links_label}</a></li>
{/rows}
{
/lg_data_matrix}

I get

{lg_data_matrix limit=“10”}{rows}{cf_news_links_label}
{/rows}{/lg_data_matrix}

* {cf_news_links_label} is linked.

Hey Smallbeer,

{lg_data_matrix ... should be your custom filed short name. By the looks of things it could be {cf_news_links}?

In the example my custom field was {lg_data_matrix}

Cheers

Thanks mate, I am an idiot.

No worries… can you confirm that adding rows in the cp is working fine for you?

This is awesome! I actually wished for something like this in the feature request forum. 

I did run into a few small issues.  I can’t seem to get an “if” statement to work on the inner fields. Is this doable? Also, if there was some way to get this to work in an SAEF (by the way, your file upload for SAEF works like a charm), I’ll roll around on the floor like a happy dog.

Here’s an example of what I was trying to do for the output page.

Example:

{loc}
<dl>
<
dt>{loc_name}</dt>
<
dd>{loc_street}</dd>
{if loc_tel}<dd>phone: {loc_tel}</dd>{/if}
</dl>
{/loc}

When I did try it on an SAEF (along with the file upload extension) the file uploaded to the wrong field. The actual field currently has Mark Huot’s file for the custom field type, so maybe that’s causing a problem there?
EDIT: The file upload extension works fine. I had the wrong ID. Ewps. The other issue is that the Data Matrix Fields don’t get filled.

Those I added like this:

<input value="" name="field_id_6[loc_name][]" type="text" />
<
label>Event Location Street Address</label>
<
input value="" name="field_id_6[loc_street][]" type="text" />

Yeah there is still a bit of work to do on the finer points such as conditional comments. Hopefully I’ll have a bit of time to look over it on the weekend.

Regarding using this in SAEF, I never really considered it for that but I’ll look into that as well.

Just updated to 0.0.4… it fixes a couple of bugs and inforces the required option for the custom field.

Unfortunatley this update may break existing data because it is stored differently in the database… I guess thats why we are only at 0.0.4 smile

Cheers

I still have issues with MarkItUp in weblogs where there is also a DataMatrix field. It works fine in any weblog where there’s NOT one, but it fails to display if there is one. I can PM you if you’d like to take a look. I’m now updated to v.0.0.5 and still have the issue.

When i install your files, and then go to my Extensions Manager, the page will be blank. No Extensions Manager for me then.
And when i remove your EXT files it works again.

Leevi - this is awesome, thanks for releasing it! One small thing I noticed however is that the 1.0 release doesn’t include the images for the sort and delete icons. I had them from your previous versions, but thought I’d mention it…

Great extension! I think I found a bug though. I was pasting in content from a print document, and there were unencoded em-dashes in the text. When I submit the entry, it looks ok in the EE control panel’s preview, but on the live page, no content is displayed from the Data Matrix field; and when I go back to edit the entry, the fields are blank.
