Adding new field to an asset

(Jamesmoey) #1

Hi all,


I got some problem with creating a new field on an asset. I follow the Tutorials "Creating An Asset" and complete it successfully. There is current a "better_user" asset listed on the Asset Tree and and creating a new instantiate of "better_user" work fine. The next thing I want to do is create an additional field in that asset.



I add the field into edit_interface_screen_details.xml file, lang_screen_details.xml file and better_user_management.inc, then I ran the follwing command:

php install/step_03.php . --package=cms

php install/compile_locale.php .



I can see that the field is created in the database. But it is just not showing up in the interface. Any idea why is that?

Sounds like you did everything correctly. Someone may be able to see something if you post those files.

Where do you want to your field be visible? If you want your field on 'create asset' screen, then you missed one of the screens in your code…
