Hi,

Is there a way to change a field's properties in the CMSB? For example, I would like to change the content of a specific field to be displayed in bold text type and in red colour or possibly in a different font type or size. Would it be possible?

Thanks in advance,

Andreas Lazaris

Hi Andreas,

There isn't anything built-in to the CMS that allows this, but it should be relatively simple to set something up. My first choice would be to see if a WYSIWYG field would work since that automatically includes formatting tools, but if not, I would set up additional checkbox/dropdown fields to control the formatting, and then implement those in the HTML on the page. Depending on the type of section/content, you could either set up those fields in the record itself, or create a new "Style Settings" section to control it.

Let me know if that helps, or if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Hi Daniel

Thank you for your response. WUSIWUG field is not an option. Let's suppose we are talking about a textfield field where I would like the value to be in bold type of letters. Could you give me a hint to start?

Regards, 

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Just to clarify, are you talking about having the field values display as bold in the CMSB admin? Or the display of the field on the front-end pages of the site?
