Thanks for both your help, Jeff and Matthew. Ive done a test custom content type by creating a .cfc file and deploying it to within the admin etc. I tested the new content class by going into content / dynamic content and my content class was listed underneath the heading "custom content". All good stuff.
Ive added a test entry using the "add" action and its come up with what must be a default form based on the information I want to store within the database. By default, its assumed that I want to manually type in the information into each field, which is good for the most part, but on some of the fields, I want to populate a list menu so that the admin can select the data from the list without having to type in, this could be for example, like a date of birth field, where all the months are in a drop down list. How can I now alter the way the admin form looks for my new content class ? Any handy URLs out there which give examples ? Sorry for the all ?'s, any help is always much appreciated B On Feb 11, 8:07 pm, Matthew Bryant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > what Jeff said ;) > > Kind regards > > -- > -- Matthew Bryant > Product Development Manager > Daemon Internet Consultants > Adobe Solutions Partnerhttp://www.daemon.com.au/ > p. 02 9380 4162 > f. 02 9380 4204 > > On 12/02/2008, at 2:38 AM, Jeff Coughlin wrote: > > > > > BazD, > > > You need to create your own custom type > > (http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV40/Content+Types > > ) for the faculty.
