Hi All,
Has anyone ever changed from a Text Area type field to a Rich (HTML) Area field, without re-generating the site files?
I tried just replacing the relevant line in TABLENAME_templateDV.html (in the templates folder) with <%%HTMLAREA(column_name)%%>, but it just causes the field to disappear completely, so there's obviously more to it than meets the eye.
Anyone have any ideas?
Much appreciated!

There are related changes in tablename_dml.php as well. I won't recommend changing it manually. If you made modifications to the files that you don't want to overwrite, try using Git to restore those modifications. See this screencast for details: http://bigprof.com/appgini/screencasts/ ... de-changes

Hi!
I completely agree! I managed to change it - it's tested and working, but I would dissuade anyone else from attempting the same. It's a LOT of trouble. Thanks for your reply - that was one of the pieces I was missing.a.gneady wrote:I won't recommend changing it manually.
