ArtMan - Interface - adding text to article edit window.... Can't Post
Donna was kind enough to point out to me that if the URL entered in the "Internet URL" article type text field doesn't begin with "http://" then the URL will have the website's domain pre-appended to the href.

I want to add a note to the interface (much like the (type "remove" to remove) text next to the file upload space, but it isn't showing up when I upload the file. Any thoughts?

Code
 WAS 
        <tr> 
         <td><input type="radio" name="art_type" value="3" $art_type_3_checked$></td> 
         <td> 
          <font face="arial,sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;">Internet URL:&nbsp;</font> 
          <input type="text" name="link" value="$link$" size=35 style="font-size: 12px;"><br> 
         </td> 
        </tr> 
CHANGED TO 
   <tr> 
     <td><input type="radio" name="art_type" value="3" $art_type_3_checked$> 
     </td>    
     <td><font face="arial,sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;">Internet URL: </font><font size=1 color="#FF0000">(include &quot;http://&quot;)</font> 
     </td>   
   </tr>   
   <tr>     
     <td> 
     </td>     
     <td><font face="arial,sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;">Website </font><input type="text" name="link" value="$link$" size=35 style="font-size: 12px;"> 
     </td> 
   </tr> 
<tr>


Any thoughts on why this isn't working?

Also - this might be a good notation to put next to the field next time AM is updated.

Thanks

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the post! Smile

I took a look at this code that you had used and I gave it a try here on a local demo. I replaced the piece of code that you mentioned in the /templates/interface/_art_menus.html and when I tried modifying an article I did see the "include http://" text showing up.

If you'd like to attach your template file I'd be happy to have a look at this for you and see what might be preventing this from showing up for you.

I look forward to hearing from you Eric! Smile

Hi Mike,

Here's the _writers_menus.html file for you to look at.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the update! Smile

The _writer_menus.html template file is the template that is used for regular writers who log in to add a new article. Editor and Administrator accounts actually use the _art_menus.html template file so depending on the user account you're using to test this you'll just want to customize _art_menus.html with this same change.

This way whenever any type of user logs in they'll see the new (include "http://") text.

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to let me know! Smile
