Important Note

We have recently released Outfielder 2.0, which adds a variety of new features, as well as fixes compatibility with MojoMotor 1.1.0. This version is not backwards compatible with previous versions of MojoMotor. If you need a legacy version of Outfielder for an older installation, please contact support.

New Features

Outfielder 2.0 is better than ever. We've added several features to make it even more useful, including:

• You can now edit existing field content.
• Fields are now larger, allowing for more content.
• A dropdown is available to select previously used field names, so you don't have to remember them for each page.
• You can use the optional page selector to insert a page URL into the field.

Overview

Sometimes you need to attach some additional information to a page that doesn't quite require the full MojoMotor editor functionality.

For MojoAddons, we use Outfielder to store information about each of our addons, such as the icon image, the developer and the price.

Of course, there's many uses for Outfielder, and we've designed it to interoperate with other developers' addons.

Integrated into MojoMotor

After you follow the simple installation instructions in the included documentation, an Outfielder button will show up when the MojoBar is showing.

When you click the Outfielder button, the field editor window will show, and you'll be able to add and delete custom fields for the page you're currently looking at.

After you have some fields stored, you can use the Outfielder field tag to display your data in your layouts.

{mojo:outfielder:field name="field_name"}

Place this tag in your layouts where you want your meta data to appear, and the tags will be replaced with your meta data when you load the page.
