| Not sure how or indeed why, but my earlier post has disappeared.\
\
I just want to know if its possible to design a category specific format using the Custom Fields, and not include any of the general fields that currently appear on the format.\
\
Can the “general fields” on “category specific formats” be deleted or even disabled – if so where in the script can this be done?\
\
I’d be grateful if anyone at all can help\
\
Thanks |

| I didn’t want to do this out of principal, because I wanted to learn and be proficient with the script - to at least do something’s ourselves. Due to time pressure and simply because there isn’t much help on the forum (it could be we’re looking in all the wrong places) on what we’re trying to do – I’m happy to consider paying to get the job done.\
\
If anyone at support centre can get in touch and give us an indication to cost, we’d appreciate it.\

Cheers |

| Thanks for the reply. \
\
For us at the moment, if it's not one thing it's another.\
\
Managed to delete the Custom Field Formats we created but would get an Internal Error Message whilst attempting to delete the "General".\
\
Checked my server error message which reads the following:\
\
File does not exist: /public_html/500.shtml\
\
Premature end of script headers: /public_html/cgi-bin/auction/admin.cgi |

| Don’t mean to be a pain – but I need to get this just right. \
\
We managed to delete all the formats in the Custom Fields Manager, including the General, but it made no difference to the outcome. \
\
This is a copy of our newly designed category specific Sell page – with the exception of a few fields we added it’s an exact copy of the script’s default Sell Page. \
\
We’d like to re-design it, keeping the UPLOAD FILES and DESCRIPTION HTMLEDITOR fields, and have a totally unique category specific Sell page that would enable us to collate the exact information we want for a specific category listing |

| Yes, we did that.\
\
STEP1 (Custom Field Manager:Fig1).\
\
1) Deleted all formats including “General” and “Computer”\
2)Created a new format and named it “MyGeneral”\
3) Deactivated all field buttons from Ads1 – Ads20 except for Ads5 (we changed to “Yes-No” buttons) “General Radio Button” which is shaded in (Fig.3).\
\
\
STEP2 (Category Manager:Fig2.)\
\
1) Created a new category-specific format and named it “MyGeneral”\
2) Pointed the Custom Fields Format: to “MyGeneral”\
3) Saved changes\
\
Except for the field we created “General Radio Button”, the result remains the same. We expected all the other fields gone (Quantity, Length of Auction, Currency, Listing Type, Starting Bid etc.).\
\
Please show us where we had gone wrong.\
\
Cheers |

Now you cleared what you want from this: "Except for the field we created “General Radio Button”, the result remains the same. We expected all the other fields gone (Quantity, Length of Auction, Currency, Listing Type, Starting Bid etc.)." You are completely wrong. Custom fields does not change anything in the default auction system, all default fields will not be removed or disabled, simply this is an auction system, for example you can not remove the price field or the auction type or the item location, all fields required by default for an auction can not be removed. Custom fields are meant to gather information about specific items for example you can create a Computer category and gather info about Item condition (New, used, refer...), product manfacuterer (IBM, Segate, etc), etc. Of course if you have to remove a requiered filed you can replace it by hiiden form field with fixed information, for example to hide the price field you can use a hidden form like: < input type = hidden name="price" value ="10" > |

| Hi Mewsoft,\
\
I am trying to do something similar to BLKCloud. So your answer helped me as well. But I am stuck on Quantity. There will never be more than one item per auction in my set up. I therefore want to set quantity allway to 1 and hide the field. I have tried what you describe above and it works for the other fields - just no Quantity. How can i make that work? |

Were you able to delete the fields you didn't want in your Category-Specific Formats without affecting your default Sell page?\
\
My experience is that once e a field or a variable is deleted in the ViewItem.pm page it automatically deletes that same field in both my category-specific Sell page and default Sell page too.\
\
I want to keep my default Sell page intact and simply have the option to delete fields I don't want in my category-specific Sell page. |

| Hi Mewsoft, I might be misunderstanding something, because I cannot find any checkboxes under the Category manager called category "Domain" - did you mean something different? Can you expain it a bit more detailed - sorry to be a pain. |
