Field Display Options Not working

Well, I have around 30 simpletests which tests this, so it surely should work, things you should check

- have you click update after changing something on a field
- have you toggled the checkbox on the left if you want to change a wrapper - if you don't, that setting won't be saved
- do you have an override of the theme_field function in your theme

I need better steps to reproduce this, otherwhise I'm just guessing which is not easy.

Are you only trying this on that field alone ? Also, is this the link field that you're trying that on ? Maybe it's only related to that one.

Also, check theme_ds_field() in ds_extras to see if this function is called at all. If not, than there is a theming function taking over I'm afraid.

- edit - did tests with the latest dev version of link and that works, so there's nothing wrong with that module.

I'm beginning to think that omega has todo something with this - although not sure, see #1254794: remove h2 tag from Tags Field and #1255562: field reset expert not working

Ok, seems like even omega isn't causing this

@dirtyharry - ooh, that would be so great! thanks for that!

Note that #1265920: The theme's field.tpl.php should be used unless field display settings exist when "Default" option is selected also went in - but I'm not sure if this would interfere.

I am also experiencing this problem. The Theme that I am running is Corporate Clean. Ive tried it several times on several content types, I save my results and its as if nothing has been applied.

Hi all,

I'm experiencing the exact same issue: reset options are not saved.
I am not sure whether it has worked before (same DS version etc), I think it worked once before, but I am not sure.
I'm using a custom subtheme of the ninesixty theme.

If you need any debug information, let me know. I'll try to give you everything necessary.

Update: I've checked this with both Chrome (latest) and Firefox (3.x) and similar behaviour arises:
change expert settings, hit update
notice the label being replaced by the expert label, everything seems alright
hit save
all expert settings are gone

I did not try that yet, as this would update my database too. I'll try installing a test website to give the dev version a try.

I also have this problem trying to format the field display of a price. Im running D7.8 and uc3 with corporate clean theme + the latest developer release of Display Suite:

http://pc-worx.net/desktops/HPPavilionG5460uk

I'm simply trying to add a h2 header to my price field but no matter where I place it in field display (with the checkbox selected) I cant get the h2 to display.

I have flushed caches, run updates, the lot and I still see no change...when I view the source code of the page I can see the h2 does not appear

      <div class="inside"><div class="product-info sell-price"><span class="uc-price-label">Price:</span> <span class="uc-price">€531.00</span>(IVA inc.)</div>

I'm quite new to drupal and ubercart and can just about manage to get about, but I get the impression ubercart or the theme prints the field and ignores field display settings totally.

Would an alternative be to just seek out what css sheet to add/edit class="product-info sell-price" or class="uc-price-label"?

Strange, today I noticed that this partially works (in the stable release): defining an outer or inner element or label works, only changing the "general" field settings does not work.

I guess the root of the problem is that not all (display) fields pass through theme_field() which makes the field templates not working fine, so I guess the clue here will be that I'd have to remove the 'field templates' option for (display) fields that are rendered differently.

Subscribing...

I seem to be experiencing this same problem, but just with custom DS fields. Specifically, I have two preprocess fields I've created and all field display options are being ignored on these fields. The label also fails to display.

I'm using the latest DS dev release, with a custom theme and I have not overridden theme_field(). I've set the default field template to "Full Reset", but use "Expert" on select fields to add custom markup.

here is what i discovered.

i added a block field and added a test view there, outputting some sample images.
then i went to the article display and moved things around in the default display and added that "block field to the content".

the block field is never displayed when visiting a sample article.

it is displayed if i enable Full content and do everything there.

I've updated to the latest DEV and it still doesn't work.

I can change Field Templates from Default to Expert and even wrap them in custom tags, but it's impossible to change their labels.

@Tony Finlay actually I saved the settings and double-checked them... after saving the label is still empty.

empty label -> enter some text -> save -> label still empty.

I've just noticed that I am seeing this issue as well, but only on the comments title field ("Full Comment") ...

I have the same problem, exactly as described by #13. In my case on an author field of a node. Some info does get stored, obviously, like the classes in expert mode. But the most important one, the label, does not.

Field display settings are, for me, only saving on the Default view mode. For Teaser and a custom mode when I set the template, change the label and options, and Update, the field updates in the form, but after saving or reloading those changes are gone.

In Default view mode, though, it works as expected.

Same problem here. Using a simple subtheme of Bartik. Using the latest dev.

I believe we are talking about different issues here. For example, I have problem with label (doesn't save), but other settings are saved. So I would suggest renaming this issue to something "Field label isn't saved when using field templates", as it reflects reality better. Is it OK for you?

working with ds 7x.1.x-dev. I changed this issue to Major because these bugs inhibit the use of the ds_extras module.

I can reproduce the original issue & many of the following issues:

1. 'Enable Field Templates'
2. 'Manage Display' for content type
3. on 'Custom Display settings' select & save 'Full Content'
4. switch to edit the 'Full content' display
5. enable the one-col ds layout
6. Click the 'Field Display' options
7. fill in all of the options
8. click update, (the options are still here)
9. click save, the first row of options are blank (see image 1 & image 3) & none of the field settings are applied to content

I confirmed that happens on multiple different fields (comment, title, post date) and multiple different Field Display settings (Expert, minimum, reset).

image_bug_2: somehow when I was testing the checkbox disappeared, I am not sure the steps to reproduce.

[Sidenote, I also find it confusing that the select dropdown changes when you click on 'Field Display'. For example: on my image (http://drupal.org/files/ds_extras_field_settings_form_bug_3.png) the post date dropdown says 'Medium' but when I click 'Field Display' that disappears and becomes the Select dropdown (Default, Expert, Minimum, Field reset). This is not a clear UI, but that maybe should be another issue. ]

I am abandoning ds_extras in favor of writing my own ds layout templates... this seems to have caused frustration for lots of people, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Also confirming the problem - I've added a preprocess field to a content type, and I can't get get it's label does show up in Full node display. I tried setting it with the extras module/settings, and it doesn't show.

Basically, anything that is a preprocess or ignore field, these settings won't have affect on the rendering of the field, we'll remove the ability to even set the options in the UI.

marked #1521096: Don't duplicate field settings in the UI. as dupe (title field must be ignored as well)

Marking dupe of #1519916: Field templates, field refresh and cogwheel problems

The 7.x-1.x branch won't have that rewrite as that's going to have a huge impact.
