Question about metadata #12

Closed ttunguz closed 11 years ago

ttunguz commented 11 years ago

I can't seem to get metadata to work. I configured the metadata to show a title field but nothing seems to make it show in a new post, when I click the metadata button. I've copied and pasted this from the starter repo but still no cigar.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

My config.yml is this:

name: "title" description: "" url: "url" paginate: 10 markdown: rdiscount permalink: :title

prose: media: 'images' metadata: _posts:

Could be a formatting issue? is your config file valid yaml?

ttunguz commented 11 years ago

Yes, thanks. I linted it and it's valid.

Can you post your config file formatted correctly to this issue then? On first glance the order reads correct.

thanks for the help!

name: "title"
description: ""
url: "url"
paginate: 10
markdown: rdiscount
permalink: :title

prose:
  media: 'images'
  metadata:
      _posts:
        - name: "title"
          field:
            element: "text"
            label: "Title"
            value: ""
            type: "text"

I believe the yaml config entries should be indented 2 spaces and not four. The space between your metadata -> _posts entry is 4 followed by 2. This should be consistent.

Also, is there any relevant error in the browsers console?

Thanks. I fixed this and the excerpt tag now works but title still fails. No errors in the console

prose:
  media: 'images'
  metadata:
    _posts:
      - name: "title"
        field:
          element: "text"
          label: "Title"
      - name: "excerpt"
        field:
          element: "text"
          label: "Excerpt"
      - name: "layout"
        field:
          element: "hidden"
          value: "post"

Is the title field showing as an editable field in the header?

ttunguz commented 11 years ago

Yes, oh! That's where it shows up! Ok, great. Thanks! Perfect. It works.
