Hi,

let's say for example this field:

<param name="google" type="text" size="40" default="" label="PLG_K2_UEF_GOOGLE_PLUS" description=""/>

From the User Extended Fields for K2.

If i wanted a Text Area, i can change it to:
<param name="google" type="textarea" size="40" default="" label="PLG_K2_UEF_GOOGLE_PLUS" description=""/>

But what about using the editor on it? Maybe the small editor K2 used to integrate, or default Joomla one...

?

Is that possible?

Like adding " editor="1" " as a parameter?

Thanks!

Hi Francisco Caivano,

try -

<param name="google" type="editor" size="40" default="" label="PLG_K2_UEF_GOOGLE_PLUS" description=""/>

I get:

"Element not defined for type"

Hi. The "editor" element is available only under Joomla! 2.5 . Since you are on another Joomla! version you need to write the element from scratch by yourself.

Im actually using Joomla 2.5.6 and K2 v2.5.7

..

So? any ideas?

Any new ideas?

type="editor" doesn't work

And i don't know where should i write/add this element to be able to get it on my plugin.

Thanks

@Francisco Caivano

You need to develop this element by yourself. K2 plugins still use the JElements instead of JFormFields to maintain compatibility with Joomla! 1.5.

Let's say i change all "JElements" class to "JFormFields", that should somehow work?


Shouldn't it detect im using Joomla 2.5, and use JFormFields instead of JElements automatically?

Checking:
docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_custom_form_field_type

I can use this:
jimport('joomla.form.helper');
JFormHelper::loadFieldClass('editor');

To load the "editor" form type, right?

But i don't know where....

Shouldn't K2 load by default this form fields from Joomla 2.5, instead of 1.5 if im in that version?

I see the:
if(K2_JVERSION=='16'){
jimport('joomla.form.formfield');
class JFormFieldItem extends JFormField {




Help on this is very appreciated.

No. K2 plugins will not load JForm fields.

There is no way to load jFormFields in K2 Plugins?

No way?...

I'm screwed...

I needed to add multiple editor fields, in a custom made plugin....
