The difficulty is that they’re not displaying… Everything else looks right, though!

Here’s my template code:

{embed="site/.header"}


    <link href="{path=css/_ee_saef_css}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />
    {exp:jquery:script_tag}
    {exp:jquery:script_tag ui="datepicker"}

    {exp:safecracker
     channel="safecracker"
     logged_out_member_id="10"
     return="safecracker/create-entry/URL_TITLE"
     url_title="{segment_3}"}

        <label for="title">Title</label>
        <input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" size="50" maxlength="100">

        <label for="url_title">URL Title</label>
        <input type="text" name="url_title" id="url_title" value="{url_title}" maxlength="75" size="50" />

        {status_menu}
            <label for="status">Status</label>
            <select name="status" id="status">
            {select_options}
            </select>
        {/status_menu}

        <label for="entry_date">Date</label>
        <input type="text" name="entry_date" id="entry_date" value="{entry_date}" maxlength="23" size="25" />

        <label for="expiration_date">Expiration Date</label>
        <input type="text" name="expiration_date" id="expiration_date" value="{expiration_date}" maxlength="23" size="25" />

        <label for="comment_expiration_date">Comment Expiration Date</label>
        <input type="text" name="comment_expiration_date" id="comment_expiration_date" value="{comment_expiration_date}" maxlength="23" size="25" />

        <label class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="sticky" value="y"  {sticky} /> Make Entry Sticky</label><br />
        <label class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="allow_comments" value="y" {allow_comments} /> Allow Comments</label><br />
        <label class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="dst_enabled" value="y" {dst_enabled} /> DST Active on Date of Entry</label>

        {category_menu}
            <label for="categories">Categories</label>
            <select name="category[]" id="categories" size="4" multiple="multiple">
            {select_options}
            </select>
        {/category_menu}
        
        <h3>Custom Fields</h3>
                {if checkbox}
            <select name="checkboxes" id="checkboxes">
            {options:checkboxes}
                <option value="{option_value}"{selected}>{option_name}</option>
            {/options:checkboxes}
            </select>
        {/if checkbox}
    
        {safecracker-matrix}{/safecracker-matrix}

        {field:wygwam}

        {if captcha}
            <label for="captcha">Please enter the word you see in the image below:</label
            {captcha}
            ><input type="text" name="captcha" value="{captcha_word}" maxlength="20" />
        {/if}

        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />

    {/exp:safecracker}


{embed="site/.footer"} 

The field names are correct; I named them after the fieldtypes so I wouldn’t have to keep referencing my CP while I tested this sucker out.

I tried wrapping my custom fields in the {custom_fields}{/custom_fields} tags as well, but got the same result.

If you are not using the custom fields tag pair, you have to use the field name (not type) to show your custom field. Within the custom_fields tag pair, you use conditionals with the field type. Also, the syntax for displaying fields is a little different. So:

<h3>Custom Fields</h3>
{custom_fields}
    {if checkbox}
        {options}<label class="checkbox">{option_value} <input type="checkbox" id="{field_name}" name="{field_name}[]" value="{option_value}"{checked} /></label>{/options}
    {/if}
        {if matrix}
            {display_field}
        {/if}
        {if wygwam}
            {display_field}
        {/if}
{/custom_fields} 

Or you can do this:

<h3>Custom Fields</h3>
        {options:your_checkbox_field_name}
            <label class="checkbox">{option_value} <input type="checkbox" id="your_checkbox_field_name" name="your_checkbox_field_name[]" value="{option_value}"{checked} /></label>
        {/options:your_checkbox_field_name}
        {field:your_matrix_field_name}
        {field:your_wygwam_field_name}
{/custom_fields} 

They’ll both output essentially the same thing.

Thanks. Discovered that I forgot to add the fields to the channel…

Got it working now.

For anyone else who reads this post!

I got Wygwam to work only after setting the parameter “safecracker_head=“yes”. (which is the default - I’d previously set it to ‘no’)
A frustrating 45 minutes but hope it helps someone else.

Yep. I’m pretty sure all the Pixel and Tonic fieldtypes (except P&T Field Pack): Matrix, Playa, Wygwam and Dive Bar, are dependent on safecracker_head.
