Fields not being added

Ok to answer a few of your questions:

1. Custom Fields: These do not work well on SalsaPress. It’s a bug. I’ll hopefully address it in the future.

There is actually a way to hack SalsaPress to get it to render Custom Fields correctly, there are two arrays ( $diff_fields and $diff_labels) that can override the rendering of fields based on their name.

Check out the code. You could add elements to these arrays with the correct HTML for the form element you want to render. For example adding:

'MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME' => '<select name="MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME" id="MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME" ><option>First</option><option>Second</option></select>'

after line 54 would cause your custom field MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME to render as a select box instead of a simple text input box.

2. Referring Info / Redirect: The forms are set to use AJAX submissions by default and do not redirect – nor do I handle referring information well. I’ve added a bug for referring and redirect.

Sorry Salsa Press doesn’t fulfill these needs for you right now – should be able to add the additional features after the election.

Can you link to the Salsa form? Thanks Andrew. In 13 days I’ll have a lot more brain power to tackle this stuff 😛

Thanks folks – will start debugging this today.

Actually it’ll be v 2.0. Going back through to address some of these other issues – if you’re finding stuff GitHub is a much better place to post issues.

Alright a lot of issues being discussed in this thread that I’m trying to address:

• Referring Information not being passed to Salsa is now fixed – passes the URL of the form
• Custom Fields – now pulls down the HTML of whatever Salsa is using
• Redirecting Automatically redirects if save is successful – overrides custom “after” html if set
