  HTMLEditor fields not saving

  25 May 2008 at 11:25pm

  Hi, Ive got a page (homepage) which has three defined columns and I'm trying to setup 3 htmleditor fields to manage the text....but they are not saving. I may be missing something obvious...any help out there? This is what I have:
  

  
  class HomePage extends Page {
     
     static $db = array(
  '$homeCol1' => 'HTMLText',
  '$homeCol2' => 'HTMLText',
  '$homeCol3' => 'HTMLText'

  );
     
     static $has_one = array(
  );

  function getCMSFields() {
  $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

  $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", new HtmlEditorField("homeCol1","Investment-Intro"),"Content");
  $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", new HtmlEditorField("homeCol2","Reserves-Intro"),"Content");
  $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", new HtmlEditorField("homeCol3","Distribution-Intro"),"Content");

  $fields->removeFieldFromTab("Root.Content.Main","Content");    
  return $fields;
  }

  Looking at yr code, I see you're using a dollar sign as db fieldnames,while not as names for your form fields

  compare $homeCol1 with HtmlEditorField("homeCol1" ...

  I suggest you leave out the $.

  I'd also put it in different tabs, someone may get confused perhaps when you use tinymce on 3 fields at once?

  haha...quite right, silly mistake !.

  thanks for that, and yes, I added them to individual tabs and it works much better.
