Questions about Extra Fields. was created by Mike Feaster
Ok, I first used K2 a few months back on a website that I was creating and I really liked the functionality and ease of use.  I am now using it on another site but tapping into more of the functionality of it now.  I've ran into two things that I do not if they are Bugs or Limitations.Question 1:  I have created an Extra Fields group and started creating my Extra Fields.  I have a total of 17 fields but only 15 are showing up.  The odd thing is it's not displaying two fields nested in the list so I'm not sure why they are not being displayed.  I could understand if there was a limitation and it just stopped display fields after it hit the limit so I'm not sure what is going on here.Question 2:  There is the appearance that you can change the order of fields but the option is grayed out.  Is this by design?  Am I missing something?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Mike

Sorry, I have an additional question. Is it possible to have the Extra Fields displayed across four columns instead of two?

Thanks again,

Mike

Hello "Mike"..
If not yet, just upgrade (install overrides) to the latest stable K2 v. 2.2.
Or, Back up and make a fresh install again.
I have no problems with what you asking above.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

I think this is a "special feature" as I am using V2.2 on K2joom.com but I can not change the order of the list, either manually entering a new value or using the up/down buttons. Besides, there is no save either.

I have 21 extra fields and all 21 show up, fyi in your example it shows 16 but you say only 15 appear ;)

You would need to change some core files to allow exta columns to be displayed too.

Ok, just upgraded but no go. There are Extra Fields still not displaying and the ordering option is still grayed out.

I think Mike means frontend display for extra fields so there is no needs to change any core files, just some CSS customization.

Update. I have used phpMyAdmin to view the ExtraFields table in SQL and it looks good. All the fields show and the public value is set to 1. Not sure where to look next. Oh and I have 36 fields not 38 and it's still those 2 field from earlier that are not showing.

Why doesn't ordering work? Seriously, this should not be a special feature and it looks built. Is there a trick to get extra field ordering to work? It's pretty important that this work.

Finding quite a few bugs: image gallery plugin does not work, front-end editing is messed up reversed right to left, and can't order important fields. Please tell me these things are fixable. Otherwise, I might have to go to those "other" guys jseblod.

Anyone else have any ideas on troubleshooting the missing fields?
