Can I make a custom field where the field type can be either or 2 options?

Im maintaining a site I didnt build. For blogs the main text field has a type ‘EP Editor’. This is a wysiwyg text editor but I cant find any documentation on it. I need to allow certain html mark up (inline styles and classes are currently being stripped out) but it appears there is no way to do this.

I dont want to change the filed type for this custom field as presumably it will mess up all the existing content. However I do need to change it for new content, so I can use no wysiwyg or a one that allows this markup that I need.
Thanks

Hi James,

There is currently no way of doing what you are asking I’m afraid.

Doing a quick search for that add-on with Google brings me to this page - http://labs.electricputty.co.uk/epeditor although there isn’t actually any information listed there about it.

Have you tried contacting the author directly about this as I’m afraid we’re not able to support 3rd party add-ons directly here.

Thanks,

Mark

Yes, ive contacted the author directly. Thanks anyway.

Hi James,

No problem. They would definitely be the best person to hear back from on this one as they will know whether you can directly change those fields for a different field type without there being any problems further on down the line.

I’m going to close this one out now but if anything else crops up then please don’t hesitate to post again as needed.

Cheers,

Mark
