Hi,
I'm trying to add a new object / field to the repository submission form.
I'd like to add a field called "References"



To form.html, I added:

<tr>
     <td align="left" valign="top" width="150">[DNNLABEL:References]</td>
     <td align="left" valign="top">[REFERENCES]</td>
    </tr>

To form.xml, I added:
<Object>
  <Token>[REFERENCES]</Token>
- <Settings>
- <Setting>
  <Name>Width</Name>
  <Value>360</Value>
  </Setting>
  </Settings>
  </Object>

To Form.ascx.resx, I added

<data name="References.Text">
  <value>Reference</value>
 </data>
<data name="References.Help">
  <value>Please enter a text-book reference for your submission</value>
 </data>

Despite doing this, I only get the DNN:Label to show up when "Uploading" -- in other words, the textarea to enter the references into does not appear.  Am I doing something wrong?  Is it even possible to add a new object to repository module?
Thanks!

No, it is not possible to add a new 'data field' without making database and code changes to the module.

if you need a custom record structure, check out Form and List module.

Thanks Sebastian

I thought about using Form and list .  However, the thing I like about the repository module is the ability to designate items to various different categories, and then easily view a selected category.

Is this possible in Form And List?
Thanks!
