I just installed JA methys theme using the quickstart for Joomla 1.7, but when I enable the content extra fields plugin I do not see the extra fields in the article options. When loading the editor I can see the field groups flash on my screen, then they disappear and leave me with the attached sidebar.

Anyone else run into this issue and have a solution?

Thanks

Hi
I’ve checked your issue. By somehow your <li> be added w/ display:none. It’s stranger.
Would you mind give me your ftp for check into code ?
Thank you

I still don’t see the extra field groups in the backend, it’s still like the screen shot where only the “JA Extra Fields Settings” is visible.

Hi
After worked w/ dev team i think there are some mis-understood about this plugin.

just checked
it’s not a bug
if you create new an article, you must select category and save, then extra fields will be loaded

Would you mind try as above instruction ?
Thank you

The instructions still don’t work. Do i need to map the extra fields to specific categories or something (is there an example)?

in the article edit page i see this:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
window.addEvent( “load”, function(){
if ($( ‘mega-params-1-options’)){
$( ‘mega-params-1-options’).getParent(‘div’).destroy();
}
if ($( ‘mega-params-2-options’)){
$( ‘mega-params-2-options’).getParent(‘div’).destroy();
}
if ($( ‘mega-params-3-options’)){
$( ‘mega-params-3-options’).getParent(‘div’).destroy();
}
if ($( ‘mega-params-4-options’)){
$( ‘mega-params-4-options’).getParent(‘div’).destroy();
}
} );
</script>

under <div id=”element-box”><div class=”m”>

Sorry for inconvenient, we will update userguide for JA Content extra fields plugin soon, to quick guide you can follow steps as below
Step1:
Firstly, you must declare extra fields group in article.xml file …templatesja_methyshtmljacontentextrafieldsarticle.xml
Declare extra fields which you want as below
<form>
<fields name=”attribs”>
<fieldset name=”mega-params-1″ label=”Extra Fields Group 5″>
<field name=”Extrafield1″ type=”text” rows=”5″ cols=”30″ default=”” label=”Extrafield1″ description=”Extrafield1″ />
<field name=”Extrafield2″ type=”text” rows=”5″ cols=”30″ default=”” label=”Extrafield2″ description=”Extrafield2″ />
<field name=”Extrafield3″ type=”text” rows=”5″ cols=”30″ default=”” label=”Extrafield3″ description=”Extrafield3″ filter=”raw” />
</fieldset>
</fields>
<fields name=”attribs”>
<fieldset name=”mega-params-x” label=”Extra Fields Group x”>
<field name=”Extrafieldx” type=”text” rows=”5″ cols=”30″ default=”” label=”Extrafield1″ description=”Extrafield1″ />
</fieldset>
</fields>
</form>
Step2, open category and select extra fields group which you want
>> Open Associated “Extra Fields Group” tab >> Select a group which you declared in article.xml before

Step3: Create new article and assign to categoy to map extra fields

Step4: input extra fields which you want on the article

Now, you can see result on our demo
