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

Hi @geoffr

You can locate the field in the XML for your form (JForm) in [site root]/administrator/[your component name]/models/forms/[yourform].xml

Hope it helps,

Thanks Gez. That's great. How do I add the editor above that field? It's now just a simple textarea.

Cheers
Geoff

Real time saver and great Component Builder tool ! I have been developing with J-Cook Pro Component Builder for several months now and can say with all honesty that this product/service is second to none. The product is feature rich and is being improved and added to all the time. Do yourself a favor if you need to build a Joomla! Component then you can do no wrong in trying the product. You will save on time and effort while being able to deliver your project on time. J-Cook pro does the hard work for you you then have the freedom to fully customise the end result for your own needs. 

One word: Awesome.
