Custom field types in Joomla 2.5

[Liam]

Hello,

I am having a problem using custom fields types.

I know its me but can't seem to find much about this using google or
joomla docs. I found the joomla documentation for adding the custom
type but it fails for me.

The form starts to load and then fails at my custom field type, so
part of the page is rendered but nothing more once it gets to my
custom form type, page source is pretty empty apart from a few fields.

I am using wamp for development machine and I wondering if that could
be causing an issue.

The form works fine I can load, fill out and save no issues. All
validations work as normal. The only issue I am having is the custom
field type.

I am not sure where to add the JForm::addFieldPath(JPATH_COMPONENT .
DS . 'models' . DS . 'fields'); so added this to tmpl for now. I used
the help guide to build up my custom field type so I know its correct
and I am just getting it to return a simple text box for now to make
it less complex while testing.

I just can't get it to work, anything I need to know when using custom
field types in 2.5?

Ok Ignore me I add a character in the wrong place and all is working
as it should. I always double check these things normally before
asking for help, I must of missed it.

Sorry for the hassle.

Your best bet would be to start at http://docs.joomla.org/, specifically http://docs.joomla.org/Developers, and explore the forums at http://forum.joomla.org/
