Hi everyone,

What I want to do is to be able to use jce editor on the creation of an extrafield.
When I use extrafield type selectbox, I'd like every each of the options to have an editor so I could set content with customization to it,
then I would pick wich options I'd want on each k2 item.

How can I do this? any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Bruno.

Hello Bruno,

The selectbox is an HTML <select> element, this is its behaviour.
JCE can only be used in textareas.

What you want to achieve should be done with a selec tbox and a textarea (this is where JCE comes in) underneath it. If the user can't find an option then he can add one of its own in the textarea.

Thanks for replying

I understand what you're saying, but what I want to achieve is it to be possible for me to set up some content with html in extra fields, so that our client may be able to select the options he wants to show for each Item.

I need it to be possible to have a textarea, with an editor, displayed in a selectbox type extrafield, that way I could edit it with html the all options, and the client would only pick the ones he wants for that item.

can you help me with this? do you have any kind of hack for it?

Thanks, Bruno.

You should not do this, as it will not be valid HTML. Read here developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/option. Plain text inside option field only.

humm and if those values on the select box are like variables that contain the html inputed on the extrafield?
I really need this to work somehow, any ideas?

thanks.

It is possible to use the select box as a trigger and load the value in your textarea depending on the user's selection.

You have to write a simple jQuery script that handles the change event of the select field.

Humm that sounds great!

I use K2 since ever but I'm not sure if I have the knowledge to perform this..

Do you guys support this kind of things? Because I'll need some help to make this work!


Thanks for your help, Bruno.

Hello Bruno,

While I personally I cannot assist you there are several developers in this forum that have the ability to assist you on this.

oh ok, so should I move this to another section? Or just wait for an answer? :)

I would suggest that you posted the job in a new topic so more users will be able to see it.
