Is it possible to include a field’s instructions as set in the control panel in a Safecracker form?
If my client wants to change the instructions at a later date I don’t want to have to go in and change the template files

Thanks!

You can get field instructions within the custom_fields loop using {field_instructions}. And in the next version we’ll have a tag for use outside of the custom_fields loop.

Thanks Rob, but I’m a little unclear, I have this in my form:

How would I include the instructions there?

You’ll have to wait until the next release, in a few weeks.

We just released SafeCracker 1.0.1, which has the {instructions:your_field_name} tag. Please note, this new version requires the new version of EE, 2.1.2, which came out yesterday.

Ah great, is this a free update? How do we go about upgrading?

Yes, just head to http://barrettnewton.com/store/downloads (or from the devotee store if you purchased there) to get the latest version. Then, upload the new files to the third_party folder, overwriting your old files. That’s it.
