customfieldlabel vs. caption in skin

(1/1)

daddydave:
OK I am trying to add custom fields to the pvd_imdb_theme movie skin. If I do the following, I get "watcher Watcher:" as my field label

--- Code: ---                     <column width="140" halign="left">
                        <customfieldlabel field="watcher"/>
                        <label>
                          <caption>Watcher:</caption>
                        </label>
                      </column>
--- End code ---


If I leave out the customfieldlabel element, I get no label at all:


--- Code: ---                     <column width="140" halign="left">

                        <label>
                          <caption>Watcher:</caption>
                        </label>
                      </column>
--- End code ---

I'm using the 1.0.1.0 beta but I'm probably just doing something stupid. So what am I doing wrong?

rick.ca:
What you want is something like...


--- Code: ---<column>
      <label  width="140" halign="left">
            <caption>Watcher:</caption>
      </label>
      <custom field="watcher"/>
</column>

--- End code ---

daddydave:
Thanks, that works! Wish I could understand why, but for now I'll just roll with it.  :)

rick.ca:
I've never done better than "rolling with it." My main technique is to copy something that works, and then modify it by trial and error. :-\
