Field in block not showing up

Permalink
I've compared other blocks to this one, tried to test the fields independently, and I have no idea why this isn't working.

The content/text editor works just fine. The smaller text field ("Dropcap") content doesn't display (even though the style for it does).

Here's what I have:

add.php:

<?php echo $form->label('dropcap', 'Dropcap');?>
<?php echo $form->text('dropcap', array('style' => 'width: 320px'));?>
<?php 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
//$replaceOnUnload = 1;
$bt->inc('editor_init.php');
?>
<div style="text-align: center"><textarea id="ccm-content-<?php echo $a->getAreaID()?>" class="advancedEditor ccm-advanced-editor" name="content"></textarea></div>


edit.php:

<?php echo $form->label('dropcap', 'Dropcap');?>
<?php echo $form->text('dropcap', $dropcap, array('style' => 'width: 320px'));?>
<?php 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
//$replaceOnUnload = 1;
$bt->inc('editor_init.php');
?>
<div style="text-align: center" id="ccm-editor-pane">
<textarea id="ccm-content-<?php echo $b->getBlockID()?>-<?php echo $a->getAreaID()?>" class="advancedEditor ccm-advanced-editor" name="content"><?php echo $controller->getAboutContentEditMode()?></textarea>
</div>


view.php:

<span class="dropcap"><?php print $dropcap?></span>
<?php 
   defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
   $content = $controller->getAboutContent();
   print $content;
?>


db.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema version="0.3">
   <table name="btAboutContent">
      <field name="bID" type="I">
         <key />
         <unsigned />
      </field>
      <field name="dropcap" type="X2">
        </field>
      <field name="content" type="X2">
      </field>
   </table>
</schema>


controller.php (Will copy all if needed):

<?php 
   defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
   class AboutContentBlockController extends BlockController {
      var $pobj;
      protected $btTable = 'btAboutContent';
      protected $btInterfaceWidth = "600";
      protected $btInterfaceHeight = "665";
      public function getBlockTypeDescription() {
         return t("Dropcap, and HTML/WYSIWYG Editor Content.");
      }
      public function getBlockTypeName() {
         return t("AboutContent");
      }
[etc.]


The folder itself is called about_content.

Any suggestions?

Not that this is the problem, but the line:

defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));


should always sit at the top of the PHP file.

Is it showing in your mark up when you view source code in a browser?
