Re: [Props-general] Quick question please.

[Derrick M. <der...@ax...>]

First, I would take a look at the {end_content} tag, to see if that can be
made to work.

If it turns out that you do need to create custom tags, I suggest using an
existing tag script as a model.  Say, something like {byline_name}.  Copy
that tag file from "modules/displaystory/tags/byline_name.php" to
"module/customtags/tags/sourceurl.php", then add a line for it in
"modules/tag_registry.php" , assigning it to the customtags module.  If you
then edit the script it should be fairly self-explanatory.  You'll see that
the function name has to match the tag name.  You'll see that the tag is
passed the ID of the current story as a parameter - that's how it knows
which record to pull.

Adding the field to the admin side is a little more involved.  I'd just
duplicate an existing, similar field.

If you will submit the files to Sourceforge or send them directly to me, I
will update them in CVS.

Cheers,
Derrick
