Could you look into the 'Search Tools' package by Matogertel? I think it would be useful to you.

Cheers but I think thats a bit to overkill for what I want. I was thinking more along these lines:

but with the addition of a Title field and a field that allows a web address to be added.

Data Display would allow you to achieve this perfectly. It's slightly more complex to set, but I'd be glad to assist you in getting it setup.

I agree data display is the way to go.

Data display package currently does not work with c5 5.4 (atleast for me). jgarcia has promised to look into it. But it is perfectly ok with 5.3.1.

working on it binoy :) just the approve/unapprove part right?

True. But without 'approve/unapprove', part, that I could not look further into the compatibility of the package with 5.4. I am currently using the package with 5.3.1. It works perfectly beautiful. it is one of the most useful packages among all addons, no doubt.

I'm looking into it now. I suspect it's something pretty simple. Thanks for the comment :)

great. thank you. kindly inform when it is ok. because of this small issue, i have not upgraded the site to 5.4, and; remain denied of all new charmings of c5 5.4.

New Data Display version is up: 1.2.1.

Thank you. i am just installing and looking into it. version number is still 1.2 in the market place?

Adding two simple fields is rather easy. Try to have a look at all the fields in the package. Start with db.xml and copy two attributes and edit the html form and you're pretty much done...

Now Data Display Package works fine with C5 5.4.0 installation in my site.

I had already tried editing Remo's block to include a extra field but when I add the block the tile entry doesn't doesn't show up. The entry field appears in the pop up window so I guess its not being added to the database.

Here is what I did:

In db.xml added:
<field name="title" type="X2">
</field>

In controller.php added:
function getTitle() {return $this->title;} just above function getDescription() {return $this->description;}

In form.php added:
<div class="ccm-block-field-group">
<h2><?=t('Title')?></h2>
<?= $form->textarea('title', $title, array('style' => 'width: 280px;height:120px;')); ?>
</div>

In view.php added:
echo "<div class=\"ccm-person-title\">" .nl2br($controller->title) ."</div>";

Can anybody see what I might be missing/doing wrong. Cheers.

Figured out where I was going wrong. I was stupidly editing the files on the server and not thought that the database table will have been added when the block was installed. Works fine now I have re-installed the block.

hi remo,
can you tell me where i can get a copy of this code? i'm looking to do the same thing but haven't found a solution yet.
cheers.
