Fieldtype Button

[kixe]

I have started developing a new Fieldtype. This Fieldtype provides a CTA Button for the frontend. The fieldtype stores 3 values for 'label' (multilanguage), 'target', and 'class' (CSS). Output Markup can be edited in the Fieldsettings.

Enter Page id or path in the target field to store an internal page. If page exist the Field will show up the path in current user language and Page ID as well. If you type in a numeric string which is not similar to any pages id, the inputfield will throw an error. Any other string will be stored as is. If target is an internal page any page field value or property is accessible.

The Inputfield optionally provides an API Description.

I see that there is a repeat of your post above as a new topic. Just to let you know; I've deleted the new topic as it had far less information in it than the thread here. You should still be able to get assistance with your problem here.

Cheers!

Pushing code without any kind of testing?

@Rajiv

I was very busy with other stuff today. Now I had a little time to check the module within Repeater (you didn't mention the usage inside a repeater).
I couldn't reproduce your error exactly, but I fixed some other (maybe related) stuff. I pushed an update 1.0.4.

Please try out and tell me if the error still exist. Which PW Version do you have in use?

Not really. With a little testing (without errors). Obviously not enough! Didn't check the usage inside repeater.

hey kixe,

its working really well (1.0.3)... didn't really troubleshoot the issue much.... but what i did was delete the repeater field which had the button in it.. and created a new one with the button... worked like a charm... for me... thanks mate

This seems to through namespace related errors in the latest dev version (3.0.219)

Perhaps something related to the modules rework?
