column with dynamic field type ?

flyshell

I have a table [SystemSettings] with 3 columns { name::string, value::string, field_type::string}

however [value] could be any field type data.

text

textfield

upload file

select option

so, my question is:
in editor, is it possible to have a column with dynamic field type and how??

please help

Sorry no. In Editor, once a field has been created its fields.type parameter cannot be changed. You would need to remove the existing field (remove()) and then create a new one based on the field type you want (add()).

I got it figured by using 'editor.clear' and editor.add'
everything worked fine,

however after clearing and adding a field with type [ckeditor], it no longer worked.
any other clear/add procedures after it, would always be [ckeditor]..

for examples:

row 1 [type = text]
row 2 [type = textarea]
row 3 [type = upload]
row 4 [type = ckeditor]

step 1. clicked between row 1~3, the input fields shown as expected. (OK)
step 2. clicked row 4, the input fields shown as ckeditor (OK)
step 3. clicked row 1, the input filed still shown as ckeditor with blank data (OOPS)

maybe something wrong with ckeditor plugin..
something not cleared after using ckeditor.......

please help.... thx

Thanks for the link!

Could you try adding the following to the ckeditor plug-in for Editor please:

    destroy: function () {
        var id = DataTable.Editor.safeId( conf.id );

        this.off( 'open.ckEditInit-'+id );
        this.off( 'preClose.ckEditInit-'+id );
    }

Just putting it immediately after the disable function (and obviously adding the comma) should do it.

I think the issue is that the plug-in is assigning event handlers, but isn't then clearing them when removed.

Thanks,
Allan

cool,,, it works!!!!

THANKS!!!!!!

one minor thing,, in case someone having the same problem....

it needs to put conf in parameter,

destroy: function (conf) {
....
}

Oops - thanks. I'll update the plug-in on the site shortly.
