Can't Access Additional Field Options

    Hi guys,
    First I have to say, THIS PLUGIN IS GENIUS!

    I’m trying to setup a Goals Post Type, with a field labelled “Resources Needed”, and I want to create a list of options that can be chosen via checkbox, but I don’t see a checkbox field as an option. The closest I’ve been able to get is to use the Relationship field with the Custom List option. This creates a dropdown select box, but I really need the ability to choose more than one option at once.

    When I try to edit the field and access the Additional Field Options or Advanced tabs, the content for the edit field section disappears. And it only returns once I refresh the page. But I can’t access those 2 tabs at all. When I created the first field, these tabs worked fine, but after I created the second one, it stopped working.

    I am running a multisite installation and I’m only setting this up on this one sub-site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Keep up the great work guys!

    You are totally on the right path for doing what you need to do–setting up a custom defined list of options, and setting the filed to be multi-select. You should be able to make it multi-select from the advanced options tab. It sounds like you have another plugin that is causing a conflict with the jQuery that allows all of those tabs to work in the Pods Admin.

    You need to check your Javascript console to see if you have any errors. That might tell you where the error is coming from. Also, if you check page source in the admin, you may find jQuery being loaded from a theme or plugin file, which is very bad practice and is likely the problem. If that doesn’t show you the source of the problem, than you will need to try deactivating all other plugins and switch to the default theme, and then turn your plugins back on one by one until you find the culprit.

    Thanks for your help w/ this Josh.

    I tried checking the console for errors, and I didn’t notice anything. Before I start deactivating plugins, I decided to update Pods to the latest version and the jQuery for the Additional Field Options and Advanced Tabs started working again. But once I added my 4th field, it started happening again.

    If it is a jQuery plugin conflict, do you think that these tabs wouldn’t work at all?

    I’m not sure what to tell you. There has to be a conflict somewhere. I tried adding 5 new relationship fields to a Pod that already had 5 fields, and I was a able to get to the additional options tab. I’m not running any other plugins though. I think you need to start testing for plugin or theme conflicts.

    Alright, it looks like I need to roll up my sleeves on this one. I have 90 plugins installed on my multi-site installation, so this could take a while.

    Thanks for the help. I’ll get back to you once I’m done testing.
