not sure which fields or field types you are adding but, the default Title and Body can be edited by expanding the submission form settings collapsed menu in edit

Hi,
if you look at http://www.midmus.co.uk/addevent you will see the title has been renamed to Venue Name and the body has been renamed to other info...
You can see that i have also added loads of other bits, these were added using the add field button at the top above the main forms etc...

on my new install on version 6 i dont seem to have the same buttons hence i cannot add any new fields :|

any help would be fantastic...

thx

new fields are added by first clicking on the manage fields tab or clicking on the manage fields link next to the content type to be edited.

you should have add new field and add new group at the bottom of the manage fields page

and at the path admin/content/types there isn't a manage fields link next to edit, in each row of a content type ?

a path directly to a content type to edit would be: admin/content/node-type/*CONTENTTYPE*/fields, where *CONTENTTYPE* = the name of form. ie: admin/content/node-type/blog/fields accesses the blog fields.

if not:

which version if any of CCK is in use? if any ?

Hi,
I have tried to use the direct url... ?q=admin/content/node-type/reviews/fields/ and ?q=admin/content/node-type/reviews/fields but i get the same page as
?q=admin/content/node-type/reviews/

Its almost like the fields page isnt there and doesnt want to be found....

Im not using a CCK is that the problem? (or i dont think i have CCK)
