Hi,

Well custom Fields is not working for me in 2.3 rc2 and RC3 but working just fine in ver 2.2.3

I wanted to know if I am doing somthing wrong or there is a bug.
The database all get created when we do db flush etc but in the admin end
all I see is the empty tab with no field.
Also RemoveTab is working fine.

Here is my code sniped.

My whole work has come to stop cause of this.

function getCMSFields() {
		   $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		 
			$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.SidebarText', new HtmlEditorField('SidebarText'), 'SidebarText');
		   $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.SidebarText", new ImageField('Image1'),'content'); 
		   $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.SidebarText", new ImageField('Image2'),'content');
		   $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.SidebarText", new ImageField('Image3'),'content');
		   $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.SidebarText', new HtmlEditorField('SidebarTextBottom'), 'SidebarTextBottom');
		    	
		   return $fields;
		}

Hi,

Do you have a 'content' field in the SidebarText tab?

You're doing:

$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.SidebarText", new ImageField('Image1'),'content');

Which would only make sense if you want to add it before the 'content' field (note it's really 'Content').
If you don't have a content field in that tab, try with leaving out 'content'.

It might be a bug or possibly 2.3 RC3 has become a bit stricter and doesn't allow this kind of error anymore.

Thanks dio5

2.3 RC3 has become stricter :(

The solution was to simply remove content and keep it empty.
Finally all set and ready to start working.
