System Advanced: CustomFieldAPI

CustomFieldAPI

Overview

The custom field API allows special functionality to be added to custom fields. Custom Field backends should be placed in include/custom_field/ and named "class.name.php". Inside the file the class should be named "name_Custom_Field_Backend". Once the backend file is in place you need to specify the backend on the manage custom fields page.

This documentation page is a work in progress.

    {
        function getDefaultValue($fld_id)
        {
            // your logic here
            return 'eventum is the best';
        }
    }
