Hello

I have cMap running and followed your tutorial for adding custom fields to the Add New Entry Form (all showing well, using Code Snippets plugin) AND I have managed to insert the data from the fields into the card and card-single PHP files okay.

What I cannot work out is how to add the Label for each of those custom fields so they make sense when displayed.

I have this in my card templates:

$text = $entry->getMeta(
    array(
        'key' => 'field_id_abn', // This should match exactly the field id used when registering the custom field.
        'single' => TRUE // Do not change this.
    )
);

But need to enter ABN/ACN: As the label for when this information is displayed.

Can you please advise me.

I have card.php and card-single.php in theme/child/connections-templates/cmap

Many thanks in advance

PS In my code snippets, I am using this

    array(
        'name'       => 'ACN/ABN', // Change this field name to something which applies to you project.
        'show_label' => TRUE,             // Whether or not to display the 'name'. Changing it to false will suppress the name.
        'id'         => 'field_id_abn',     // Change this so it is unique to you project. Each field id MUST be unique.
        'type'       => 'text',           // This is the field type being added.
        'size'       => 'regular',        // This can be changed to one of the following: 'small', 'regular', 'large'
    ),

@ Steve

In the card.php and card-single.php files where you added the $text = $entry->getMeta( chunck of code, you need to add this line as mentioned in the tutorial:

if ( ! empty( $text ) ) echo '' . esc_html( $text ) . '';

Here, you can add any label you want, just add it to the code. Example:

if ( ! empty( $text ) ) echo '<strong>ABN/ACN:</strong> ' . esc_html( $text ) . '';

Hope that helps!

Thanks, Steven. That’s doing the job. One thing for anybody else who sees this, the backslash in Steven’s example <strong/> needs to be , and we have lift off. Much obliged.

if ( ! empty( $text ) ) echo ‘

ABN/ACN: ‘ . esc_html( $text ) . ‘

‘;

@ Steve

You reply got a little mangled, but I think I get what you are saying… I incorrectly closed the strong tag. I corrected my previous reply.

Thanks!

Great support. Many thanks, Steve.
