Changing Admin Text field to Textarea 24 Dec 2012 04:07 #6262

geoffr Offline Senior Member Posts: 68 Thank you received: 2 Karma: 0	Hi, where in the Joomla Admin area code do I find where to change a field from a Text field to a Textarea with editor? No changes to the database are required, but I have the wrong field type in a few places. Thanks, Geoff
