I'm really starting to feel stupid here, and probably with good reason, but I'm able to make a custom, advanced, php-code formatter for a field in an ubercart product node. After setting it up, it saves, shows up in the list, assures me that it's recognized as a custom formatter for this field and then...nothing.

What does one do from here? I've been banging my head against the keyboard for the last week off-and-on trying to figure out how to actually make use of a custom formatter, but I have no idea what to do.

Help?

UPDATE: I discovered the Export option, so i was able to create a module that I uploaded and activated, but still I can't find a way to use the formatter.

You need to set the display of a field to your Formatter, each module that utilizes fields has it's own interface for doing so, but the most common use case is via the 'Display Fields' on CCK.

Helpful Q&A! Please add this as documentation for the module. It badly needs some documentation. Thanks!
