Add field manually in template

Hi,
I create a new field type (a custom HTML field type), this field doesn’t appear in the template, I need to place it manually inside my template, precisely in “Description” position.
I read your doc about this operation but I really don’t understand how to proceed.
Could you please explain me through an exemple how to modify and insert this new field inside the item_html5.php file?

Another thing: I also noticed that new code inserted in item_html5.php file is cleaned after saving, in another words no changes are kept, why?

Thank you

Hello

first please reply to this:
you mean you have "written PHP code" and created a new field type like this ??:

www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...-new-field-type.html

-- or do you want to "customize" the display of a field ? which field is it ? e.g. is it a "text" field ?

Hello George,
I want to "customize" the display of a new field since this new field is not available in my template. This field is a custom HTML type.



In other words I have to display just simple text (they are questions) so this text should not be in fields, it must not be modifiable.
Yannick suggested me to add these fields directly in the template, I would like to display them precisely in “Description” position, so could you please explain me through an exemple how to modify and insert these new fields inside the item_html5.php file?
I guess I need to modify the “Insert template code” section?



Thank you again

Hello

the field that you tried to use is only for item form,
- it displays nothing in item / cateogory view


- The way to do it is to use "default value" in a text or textarea field:

1. Create a textarea field

2. At the left Tabset inside TAB: "Item Form" , set parameter "Form hidden" to be: "Both"
the above will hide field in both frontend and backend item forms

3. At the Left TAB-set , inside "Viewing" TAB, set parameter default value to the desired HTML
4. Set parameter "Value usage" to "Load instead of empty"
5. Add your field into a template position

PS:
i will change textarea.xml so that parameter "Default value" will appear as textarea so that it is bigger and easier to view / edit

Hello and sorry for the late reply ...

2. I think I misspoke. The fields must be visible but can not be editable so 'No' option is correct.

3. I guess you were referring to the Right TAB-set and not to the Left TAB-set …
Anyway in the "Viewing" TAB I didn’t find the parameter "default value" and I didn’t found any configuration you gave me, it is rather in the "Editing" TAB that I find a similar configuration, and I configured this new textarea field as follows:





... I think it should be ok, but if you think that the setting is not correct please let me know ... thank you

Hello

it is good, also set your field to be "form hidden" ?
- parameter is at the left TABset
