hey Yellow :)

cant you please check you PM inbox - you qouta is up and the reply you asked me for cannot be sent to you :)

I can't manage to make this to work, I've made everthing it says in here but when I put the data into the fields and push SAVE I get this error

That's because you have a comma right before the WHERE line which isn't supposed to be there.

The problem it is as you said a comma, thank you verry much for the help. Now i have the same problem as HouseAddict, the date is inserted into the database but is not spit out on the article page. Can you help me fix that problem too ?

Thanks again for the help.

I haven't any need for adding a new field to my CMS, so I haven't looked into this in anyway past what I posted for Yellow Slider.

I've tried the exact example and the date still isn't spit out in the article page.

Hi lynne,
I have the same problam,
I managed to save it but not to spit it out.
I didn't quiet understood number 5 -
To get the field to spit out, you must add it to the vbcms_content_article_page somewhere (this is rough, you'll have to add your own class/styling).

HTML Code:
<div>Custom Field:{vb:raw FIELDNAME}</div>

I have added <p>{vb:raw articlesource}</p>
and nothing..

any help?

I'm desperate for custom article fields and ways to manage the CMS better - if this existed, it would make the CMS amazing. Currently I'd just describe the CMS as functional, albeit simple and easy to use.

We have spent a lot of time making the VB4CMS look fantastic, and now just need it to BE fantastic! I can't spend time manually making new fields in the database - the long term implications are just too tricky.

Off to a bad start since I don't even understand step 1.
Could someone explain?
Is this something I do in the control panel?
Do I need to create a plugin?
Modify a template?

These instructions involve manually modifying the database and editing vb files as well as template modifications and creating plugins. It took me a bit to understand that the first step is to add a column to the cms_node table in the database (could probably use some clarification there).
