CustomFieldHTML

Returns the html necessary to place this field in a blog-side Create Entry form for the object in context.

<$mt:CustomFieldHTML$>

See mt:EntryCustomFields for more documentation.

Form elements are prefilled with with the default values specified when custom fields are defined. Noted below with “” in the case of text elements or as the selected value for radio buttons and checkboxes.

Note: The generated html doesn’t necessarily have the best markup. Until updated workaround is to strip undesired markup using regex_replace or to take the output and then hardcode the html into the template.
