News with Field Definition

Is anyway to add a Field Definition and have a spaces in the name,

This does work if I use this code. But I want do do a if tag

Code:

{if isset($entry->fields)}
  {foreach from=$entry->fields item='field'}
 {$field->name}:&nbsp;{eval var=$field->value}
  {/foreach}
{/if}

I would like to something like this

Code:

{if $entry->Bottton News == '1"}
Show this Article on the bottom of page etc. 
 {/if}

I know if made a field without the spaces it works.

I want make the back-end clean, I dont really want see BottomNews. I would like to have it so its says Bottom News not BottomNews

Can anyone advice me

Cheers

Andrew

Try this:

Code:

{assign var='tmp' value='Bottom News'}
{if $entry->fields.$tmp->value}
  {* do something *}
{/if}

Try using an underscore i.e. Bottom_News

I could use that,but I want to look professional not looking bad for the user adding new news.

Anyone got this to work?

Cheers

I mean in the backend code not the field definition as that is how it used to work.

I found a way round it by editing the editarticle.tpl in the News Module.

Here what I used but I don't really want be hacking CMSMS News Module.

Code:

{if isset($custom_fields)}
{foreach from=$custom_fields item='field'}
        <div class="pageoverflow">
           <p class="pagetext">{if $field->prompt == "leftfrontpage"} Left Frontpage {elseif $field->prompt == "rightfrontpage"} Right Frontpage {else} {$field->prompt}{/if}</p>
           <p class="pageinput">{$field->field}</p>
        </div>
{/foreach}
{/if}
