[SOLVED] Extra field grps opacity set to 0 in backend form

The extra field groups are not appearing in the backend edit item form. The groups headings are visible, and using Firebug you can see that the groups are there but the opacity is set to 0. See screenshot. Even when I set the opacity to 1 directly in mefgfork2.php it is still being changed to 0 from somewhere. All but the top group are also picking up a height:0px as well.

When adding a new item, it's fine, all the extra field groups are visible.

Any ideas?

From the screenshot I don't see the group headers styled according to the accordion css!

Please let me know whether this file is loaded: plugins/k2/mefgfork2/assets/mefg-accordion.css

Seems the accordion layout makes problem with some customers, do you think reverting back to the flat layout is good option? or creating a tab layout for example maybe better?

Yes mefg-accordion.css is loading (bottom right corner of screenshot).

I styled the headers directly in the php file.

I don't know what you mean by reverting back to the flat layout?

Hello Laura,

Please check your inbox, I have sent to your email, which is registered in your account, a version without the accordion layout.

Let me know if it works with you.

Hi,

Thanks. I noticed that the new mefgfork2.php file is different in a few places to the one I have (and not just accordion references commented out). Is that essentially what needs doing (commenting out the accordion.css)?

I know I have made changes to the original file so was hoping to copy your modifications, rather than try and remember what I changed.

Hi,

If this version without accordion layout works on your site without problems, please attach the modified files: mefgfork2.php and ajax.php, I will replace the accordion layout and return them back to you.

Thanks, the new files do work. I have attached my modified versions.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

Its good to know that your problem is solved.

I'm working on a new release which sorts the groups in the edit form as you want.

If you like to test it please let me know.

Yes, I'd be happy to test it.
