Managing fields

Post by Kalambata »

There are a few original fields that I don't use at all. On the other and I need to use new fields. I know how to add new fields.
Is it possible to manage original fileds (add, modify or delete them?).

You can't change the original files, but you can add custom fields. I think the procedure for creating & managing these was described in the help file (that was done by soulsnale/Mickael, not by me)

Hi,

No, you can not manage original fields, sorry.
But you can rename them using translation file if you really want to use them for other purposes ;).

Thank You for your answer.

I added 4 new fields and called them ACT1, ACT2, ACT3 and ACT4
In HTML template I used $$ITEM_ACT1, $$ITEM_ACT2, $$ITEM_ACT3 and $$ITEM_ACT4 but those items are not shown.

$$ITEM_YEAR, $$ITEM_DIRECTOR and all the original fields are O.K.
What did I do wrong?

This is explained in help file (F1 > Export to HTML) :D :

Code: Select all

$$ITEM_CF_ + custom field TAG in upper case = Custom field value
$$LABEL_CF_ + custom field TAG in upper case = Label of custom field 
So for you, it is : $$ITEM_CF_ACT1, $$ITEM_CF_ACT2, $$ITEM_CF_ACT3 and $$ITEM_CF_ACT4

Also, you can use HTML Editor in AMC to edit templates.
You will have menus to include fields in template easier ;).
