custom fieldtypes
Development and Programming
Hi: I inherited an in-house programmer custom fields from our EE 1.5.2 website that show up in EE 2.1.3. Where can I find the code he wrote for these fields? Thanks Chris

Custom field types should be in system/expressionengine/third_part/package_name. The file should be ft.package_name.php.
Hope that helps!
Hi: These inhouse fieldtypes were made in EE 1.5.2 with a completely different way of doing custom fieldtypes. Need help Thanks Chris
Fieldtypes in 1.5.2 are stored in system > extensions > fieldtypes.
They will probably need to be rewritten to work in 2.x though.

Thanks Mark That’s really helpful. Will definitely pull and rewrite. Thanks Chris

No problem. Hope the rewrites go well.

Ooops. It looks like there were NO extensions in EE 1.5.2. I do find in the mysql db exp_weblog_fields columns for field labels, field instructions, field types etc. I’m tryng to find where he put the code so that when you click on something from a dropdown in exp_weblog_fields the function happens. Thanks Chris
Hi Chris,
Just wondering what sort of function happens with the drop-down? (Just interested really in what custom functionality you have going on there as it sounds interesting 😉 )
Best wishes,
Mark
Thanks for the assist, Mark.
Since this is more of a programming question, moving to the development forum.
