Safecracker does not appear to properly support Matrix (the Pixel and Tonic Field Type).

I need to be able to edit Matrix row data within a Safecracker form

if I just attempt to display the Matrix rows I get
```
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: EE::$typography

Filename: celltypes/text.php

Line Number: 163
```
As the channel tag works with Matrix then Safecracker ought to.

Hi mark59,

SafeCracker does support Matrix, so we need to figure out what the real issue is here!

What version of ExpressionEngine and Matrix are you using?

Cheers,

Dan, Hi

This happened while i was trying to get to the Matrix field using
```
{my_matrix_fieldname}
```
without using
```
{field:my_matrix_fieldname}
```
So its now a none issue since i discovered I needed to put {field: as a prefix.

Thanks - you can close this.

Hi mark59,

I’m glad you were able to come the solution on your own! It’s not entirely clear in the User Guide, but the {field:field_short_name} nomenclature is good for any field type.

If you need us in the future, pleas ping us in a new thread.

Cheers,
