Hi,
I am not sure i would be able to explain this…but i will try my level best…

It’s a wierd issue i am facing with Safecracker….
I had a form for People entries .... it worked all good.

Now I added some more fields to that channel - People, like CUSTOM FIELD - {address} ....
and if i go to Safecracker to add / modify People

it shows all the previous fields good but the newly added have the {braces} in the text field which gets uploaded on submit

I am attaching a picture for better understanding.

Hi, sajwal. I saw something similar the other day.. are you listing each field by itself? Can you post your form?

Thanks for the help sue,...here is the form…I think its not related to safecracker…its something to do with EE ..or some database structural changes that happened…i checked migrating the entire site to a different server .. no go…tried installing the latest EE build ... no go…reinstalled Saefcracker…no go…!!!!

{exp:safecracker channel="people" return="saef/people/{segment_3}" entry_id="{segment_3}"}
    <table width="98%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
  <tr>
    <td width="25%" valign="top">Famous People        

      <input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" size="40" maxlength="100">
      

    Real Name :
      <input type="text" name="realname" id="realname" value="{realname}" maxlength="100" size="40" />    </td>
    <td width="27%" valign="top">Title URL :   

        <input type="text" name="url_title" id="url_title" value="{url_title}" maxlength="75" size="40" />

      <input type="text" name="entry_date" id="entry_date" value="{entry_date}" maxlength="23" size="23" />    </td>

Death Place 

<input type="text" name="deathplace" id="deathplace" value="{deathplace}" maxlength="23" size="23" /></td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr>
    <td colspan="4" valign="top"><strong>Proffession :</strong>
          • {categories group_id="2" order_by="category_name"}

Let’s have you do the following: Use the {custom_fields} loop to grab your text fields.

{custom_fields} 
    <div><label for="{field_name}">{if required}* {/if}{field_label}</label> 

    
    <div>{field_instructions}</div>
    
    {if error} {error} {/if} 

 {if text}
        <input type="text" dir="{text_direction}" id="{field_name}" name="{field_name}" value="{field_data}" maxlength="{maxlength}" size="50" />
    {/if}
{/custom_fields}

Does that make a difference?

I am sure there is some problem related to EE….
In EE form i don’t see the {deathplace} but in saefcracker i do…

My code now is

{exp:safecracker channel="people" return="saef/people/{segment_3}" entry_id="{segment_3}"}
    <table width="98%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
  <tr>
    <td width="25%" valign="top">People Title :        

      <input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" size="40" maxlength="100">
      

      <span class="style1">Real Name : </span>
      <input type="text" name="realname" id="realname" value="{realname}" maxlength="100" size="40" />    </td>
    <td width="27%" valign="top">Title URL :   

        <input type="text" name="url_title" id="url_title" value="{url_title}" maxlength="75" size="40" />
      
      
</td>
    <td width="26%" valign="top">      Birth Place


<input type="text" name="birthplace" id="birthplace" value="{birthplace}" maxlength="75" size="40" />

</td>
    <td width="22%" valign="top"> Death Place 

<input type="text" name="deathplace" id="deathplace" value="{deathplace}" maxlength="23" size="23" /></td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr>


  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="4" valign="top">{custom_fields} 
    <div>      
    {if error} {error}{/if} 
        <input type="text" dir="ltr" id="{deathplace}" name="{deathplace}" value="{deathplace}" maxlength="20" size="50" />
 {/custom_fields}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="4" valign="top"> </td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="4" valign="top"><input name="status" type="hidden" value="Open"/><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" ></td>
  </tr>
</table>
 {/exp:safecracker}

...the output is a series of {deathplace} in a col in line…attached image is the screeshot

sajwal:

Even simpler than that.

{sc_css}

<h3>Sample SafeCracker Form</h3>
<p>{exp:safecracker channel="people" return=“saef/people/ENTRY_ID" entry_id="{segment_3}"}<br />
    <label for="title">Title</label></p>

<p>    <input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" size="50" maxlength="100"><br />
  </p>

<p><br />
    <label for="url_title">URL Title</label></p>

<p>    <input type="text" name="url_title" id="url_title" value="{url_title}" maxlength="75" size="50" /><br />
  </p>

<p><br />
 <hr ><br />
<div></p>



<p>{custom_fields} <br />
    <div><label for="{field_name}">{if required}* {/if}{field_label}</label> </p>

<p>    <br />
    {if field_instructions}<br />
    <div>{field_instructions}<br />
</div><br />
    {if:else}<br />
    <div>Fill in the field!</div><br />
    {/if}<br />
    {if error} {error} {/if} </p>

<p> {if text}<br />
        <div><input type="text" dir="{text_direction}" id="{field_name}" name="{field_name}" value="{field_data}" maxlength="{maxlength}" size="50" /></div><br />
    {/if}<br />
  <br />
    <br />
    {if textarea} <br />
       <div> <textarea id="{field_name}" name="{field_name}" dir="{text_direction}" rows="{rows}" cols="70">{field_data}</textarea> </div><br />
       <br />
    {/if} <br />
{if date}<br />
        <input type="text" id="{field_name}" name="{field_name}" value="{field_data}" size="50" /><br />
    {/if}</p>

<p><br />
   </div> <br />
  <br />
{/custom_fields}  </p>

<p><br />
    <div><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></div></p>

Hi, sajwal -

What type of custom field are you using?

In your original form code, can you try using:
```
{field:your_custom_field_name}
```
replacing your_custom_field with the shortname for your custom field? Try that instead of the hidden inputs; let’s see if that works.

Also, do you have that template cached at all?

Lastly, please include what version of EE and SafeCracker you are running.

Thanks!
