Shift maintext into fields_manager. was created by iamrobert

Hi,

I'm trying to recreate my item manager from j3 for my clients. Old one:

But I'm stuck with trying to shift the default text editor into the fields_manager

Is it possible to add the description to the text fields_manager:

Or is there some way to do it via PHP?

I really want to put it where I want on my items page.

Thanks,

Robert

ah .... not sure but maybe the solution is to add text field compatibility in coreprops field. But not sure that can works

Hi Micker,

Thanks that would be the best solution, but don't think I can implement it.

So, I went with a JS solution:

Steps I took:

Update layout main.php:
In the main.php (should customize to your own layout):

administrator/components/com_flexicontent/views/item/tmpl/layouts/tabs/main.php

The code below unsets the main description field and puts it inside #move_textarea.

Code:

//UNSET MAIN TEXT DESCRIPTION
if (array_key_exists('text', $captured)) {
    $text_block = $captured['text'];
    unset($captured['text']);
}

//Place description:
echo '<div id="move_textarea">';
echo $text_block;
echo '</div>';

Add JS:
We use JS to move it above the field (#label_outer_fcfield_23) we want to show it.

I added it directly to the bottom of the file - main.php.

Code:

//MOVE THE TEXT EDITOR:
window.onload = function() {
  // Get the elements
  var sourceElement = document.querySelector("#move_textarea");
  //FIELD ABOVE
  var targetElement = document.querySelector("#label_outer_fcfield_23").parentNode;
  // Ensure both elements are found
  if (sourceElement && targetElement) {
    // Clone the source element (including events)
    var clone = sourceElement.cloneNode(true);
    // Insert the clone before the target element
    targetElement.parentNode.insertBefore(clone, targetElement);
    // Optionally, remove the source element
    sourceElement.parentNode.removeChild(sourceElement);
  }
};

As we need to use window.onload to relocate the editor, it causes issues with the XTD buttons underneath the text editor.

The issues are:
1) Content doesn't load on modal pop-up
2) Clicking a link in the modal doesn't close it

So - I implemented the following code to handle this

Code:

//SOLVE xtd-button not closing
document.addEventListener('shown.bs.modal', function (event) {
  let modalIds = [
    'jform_text_fcfile_modal',
    'jform_text_fcitem_modal',
    'jform_text_fccat_modal',
    'jform_text_editors-xtd_module_modal',
    'jform_text_editors-xtd_menu_modal',
    'jform_text_editors-xtd_fields_modal',
  ];
  if (modalIds.includes(event.target.id)) {
    let modal = event.target;
    let modalInstance = bootstrap.Modal.getOrCreateInstance(modal);
    Joomla.Modal.setCurrent(modal);
    let iframeContent = modal.dataset.iframe;
    let modalBody = modal.querySelector('.modal-body');
    modalBody.innerHTML = iframeContent;
    // Get the iframe and add 'onload' event listener
    var iframe = modal.querySelector('iframe');
    iframe.onload = function() {
      // Get the iframe document
      var iframeDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
      // Event delegation for .select-link
      iframeDoc.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
        if (e.target.matches('.select-link, .js-module-insert')) {
          modalInstance.hide();
        }
      });
    };
  }
});

There's still a minor JS console issue when you click close:

window.parent.Joomla.Modal.getCurrent(...).close is not a function

but it doesn't affect the site.

If anyone else has a better solution I would love to know.
