List of fieldtypes
This list includes all input field types and provides basic information on how to use them.
- Copytext: This is the field used to edit paragraphs in the copy text. Sophora Web supports the regular copy text configuration, such as allowed paragraph styles and default style.
- Text (with Styles): The rich text editor lets you insert multi-line formatted text that supports bold and italic text, as well as ordered and unordered lists.
- Text: Allows you to enter unformatted plain text.
- Long: This field type can be Integer, Text, or Selection Value. You can enter integers and longs.
- Double: This field type can be a Floating-point number or Text. We recommend using the Floating-Point Number input field type for double properties. Your browser's language settings determine whether a comma or a period is used as a delimiter.
- URL: Used for external URLs, such as https://subshell.com.
- Checkbox: Allows you to check or uncheck a value.
- Color: Color Picker to select RGB colors.
- Date: This input field allows you to pick a date and/or time. Supported date formats: Date and time in hours and minutes (default) Date and time in hours, minutes and seconds (dateAndTimeWithSeconds)
- Dynamic Table: The dynamic table input field type allows you e.g. to create news tickers. You can add rows to the dynamic table via the "Add row" button at the top of the table and you can edit existing entries by opening them via a click. The buttons on the right-hand side of existing rows allow you to rearrange or to delete these individual rows. To keep the table sleek and lightweight, only five rows are visible. To see more rows you can conveniently navigate through them by using the pagination buttons below the dynamic table. Collapsed rows will just show the content of the first column. You can change this by configuring a property as the title property. To do so, use the Sophora DeskClient and edit the NodeType configuration for the column nodetype. There you can edit the property document title for this nodetype.
- Selection Value: The supported selection values intelligent, list, list (editable) allow you to choose from one or more predefined values by clicking on the field and selecting the entries shown. Since version 3.5.0, the select value form field also supports custom text if the editable configuration is enabled or list (editable) is used.
- Taxonomies: An input field of this type can be used to enter multiple values which can be reused (tags). These values can be any kind of text, words or phrases. There needs to be a backing system document in which all entered values are stored. Please note: The input field type Taxonomies is only available to those users who purchased themodule Taxo.
- Reference: Allows you to create a reference to another document.
- Image focus: The image focus is an input field type designed to be used just with image documents. It allows you to mark a spot on the image as it's focus point. All variants of this image will be calculated such that their center is as close to this point as possible.
- Tags: Allows you to enter tags into a basic text field, separated by spaces.
- Text (with Teaser Image and Style): Allows you to enter text with styles. Sophora Web will not show the teaser image alongside the text (though it will appear on the components tab). Field support has been added for compatibility reasons mainly.
