I need to setup some custom fields that will be populated when creating a Showcase item. I played with Waindigo's custom fields add-on but I can't figure out how to get it to play with Showcase, so I was thinking I could just do this with template edits as it is information that will be necessary for all of my showcase items.
If I understand correctly, this will involve editing the item template and the create item template.
In the sidebar of the item template, I added some lines to the quick stats that I would like to populate information, like this:
I would then like to create fields in the item create template so that they fill out the item name, then things like Longest Rappel, Time Commitment, etc.
So I duplicated the field for item name and modified it for the other fields, the problem I'm having is getting that data to actually populate in the created item. This is what I added in the create item template:
I feel like there must be some relatively simple way to now connect these two elements, but I'm missing it. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you so much!
Side note: I am loving Showcase and will be buying another license once I get this one all ironed out. Do you sell branding removal as well?
