Field
Label
This is the text displayed
beside the field in the content management solution Section
Editor.
Field
Name
This is the name the
database and program use to refer to the field.
In your content viewers,
you will use some simple code like this <?php echo $record['fieldname']?>
to display the field data. If you change an existing fieldname,
don't forget to update the name in your viewers and Section
Editor details as well.
Field
Type
These are the different
types of fields you can add to your menu. Some fields have
different options than
others. Note that the separator field type doesn't require
a field label or field name to be
entered.
Field Options
Options specific to the
Field Type appear in this box. For most fields, the defaults
will be sufficient, but for "list" fields you will need
to set the values for your list options.
Year
Range
This option lets you
specify the range of years that can be selected in your
date field.
Specify
Time
This option indicates
whether the user can enter the time (hour and minute) as
well as the date.
Use
24 Hour Time
This option causes the
date fields to display in 24 hour format instead of 12 hour
format.
Specify
Seconds
This options indicates
whether the user can specify the seconds.
Input Validation
This allows you to make
specific requirements for what gets entered into the field.
At the most basic, you can make the field required or unique,
and for text fields you can enter a list of characters to
allow or disallow.
Unique
This option requires
the user to enter a unique value for the field. An error
will be displayed if another record has the same value.
Advanced Options
System
Field
System fields cannot
be edited and have no modify or erase link unless "System
Field Editing" is enabled (under Advanced Commands on the
field list page). The purpose of this setting is to make
it harded to accidentally or unknowingly change a program
field that might otherwise break things.
Admin
Only
Fields with this option
set will only be visible and can only be modified by Admin
users in the Section Editor.
