Front End Submission and Course Info Fields

maz001

This refers to joomla articles only (not Guru).
When creating 'categories' we can assign 'Course Extra Fields' (group) to a category. In admin these appear as 'Course Info' fields when creating a new joomla article and they can be filled in.

I want users to be able to submit and edit articles from the front end. However, these 'Course Info fields' are not visible on the article creation page. (In admin they are visible but not at the front end).

If I create standard Joomla Custom Fields and groups, they DO appear on front end article submission forms.

How can I get the 'Course Info Fields' to appear on the front end article submission form? (I don't mind adding to the front end submission template).

Hi maz001

The custom field 'Course info', in this case, is assigned to category so when you create a new article (even on backend), this tab will not display.

It will display only you assign the new article to a category (which has that custom field).

You can try to create a new article again in backend and see the same.

I noticed the same thing and the solution from sugauros works. However, only the content of fields can be changed in the frontend. Empty fields cannot be filled out.

Hi tobiasdarin

Could you submit a new topic and share the credentials of your site eg: URL + admin account? and tell me the fields that you have issue so I can help.
