dear cheefa,
everything you can do is described above or look in / use the pasted code (link) above your comment.
should be selfexplaining….

Thanks mate for the hint!
Actually I did not use the get_the_date function,as in graphene theme rather they use the_date or the_time functions.
I now built a function with echo get_the_date() and it works for every post type.

thanks for your efforts again.

Thanks for your reply!
I use Graphene theme and I tried the standard twentyeleven.
None of them displays the date of custom post types.

Further I made a function that displays the post date and added it to an action hook of graphene theme. Also only on normal posts the date is shown.

thanks for support

off topic ??? I cannot follow. helpers.php should not be edited I guess.
Anyway if it works what you want to do, but if you update the plugin your work might be gone….

Hi jrWP,
I’d like to try, even it is already for dummies like us ??

1. build your own template by saving the fm-summary-multi.php with your individual name and choose it from the dropdown (data summary) in the ADVANCED TAB where you can edit the form you want, i.e. yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=fm-edit-form&sec=advanced&id=1. (that is a better way working with it) – I think you just took the wrong template, as fm-form-default.php just displays the form where you can enter your stuff!!!

2. within the functions.php (to be found in your themes folder or child theme folder -> better make yourself a child theme) you do not need to modify anything.

3. what do you want to do actually? But I think with step 1 it should be solved… ??

success, millo

thanks, got it working
the used postID I can get like this within the template and my code looks like this:

$my_custom_field_value_var = fm_summary_get_item_value('nickname');
$my_get_lastID = wp_get_recent_posts('1');
$my_thePostID = $my_get_lastID['0']['ID'];
add_post_meta($my_thePostID, 'custom_field_name', $my_custom_field_value_var, true);

ok, adding this line in the FormManager template

add_post_meta(901, 'custom_field_name', $custom_field_value, true);

will create the custom field and put the right custom_field_value in that specific field.
But only if the real postID is specified.

My question now, how can I retrieve the right postID from the form submission within the template?
I tried several ways like the_ID() or get_post_ID() but all was not working yet.
thanks for any idea, millo

ok I tried it within the template and functions.php neither works.

should not it be like that or did I get sometning wrong?

function my_custom_field($postID) {
global $_POST;

add_post_meta($postID, 'my_field', 'TESTVALUE that I would like to be filled with a value of a specific nickname' , true);
}
add_action('fm_form_submission', 'my_custom_field');

thanks millo

Thanks!
as for 1. I did not see and that helps a lot great.

as for 2. I will try and I would appreciate if you could include it, which would be much easier for everybody. sent you a donation for that ??

some hint would be appreciated!

code pasted here

go to:
image to template

Here is the example how I use it:
– use it before the “loop” will give you only the image
– using it within the “loop” will generate the image and the link to the file
Hope that helps you!

Thank you! This works perfect.

Hey there,

actually I had the same problem and I knew before that it had to do with permissions. I changed them, obviously… but no result.
I erased the ‘uploads’ folder to let it be created again by WP .. no chance actually. The folder was created and still the uploads where not possible.
Then I changed to another FTP program, I deleted the ‘upload’ folder and then created it again with the ftp and set the permissions again to 777.

Here we go… it’s working now. ??

hope that will help
