Using glz_custom_fields with MLP on TXP 4.3.0 creates a duplicate Excerpt field

[johnstephens]

Didn't see this on glz_cf forum thread or on the issue tracker: http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=239147#p239147

I upgraded a site from TXP 4.2.0 to TXP 4.3.0 today and the same thing happened to me: I see a duplicate Excerpt field that only appears when glz_cf is active. I can confirm that deactivating glz_custom_fields removes the duplicate Excerpt field.

Here's a temporary workaround. Add the following code to the bottom of your admin theme's stylesheet. The stylesheet is usually called textpattern.css, and it lives in the directory of the theme selected in Advanced Preferences:

/* !Hide Duplicate Excerpt Field
 * --------------------------------------------
 *  Bug introduced by upgrading to TXP v4.3.0
 *  with MLP & glz_cf active:
 *  https://github.com/gerhard/glz_custom_fields_public/issues#issue/23
 * --------------------------------------------
 */
p.excerpt {
display: none;
}
p.excerpt[dir] {
display: block;
}

After upgrading, I am seeing that this issue has cropped up again with the Body field, only this time the duplicate body field is the one with the dir attribute. Here's my CSS fix:

/* Edit: CSS fix does not work */
p.body[dir] {
    display: none;
}

Shall I open a new issue?

The above CSS cosmetically removes the duplicate body field, but Textpattern still picks up the content when you Publish or Save, which is a big problem when updating an article. I will open a new issue.

John, did you receive my e-mail? Waiting for the details before I can sort this out...

[johnstephens]

I got it. I'll send you the info today.

It's no rush, just wanted to make sure that we weren't waiting on one another.
