Editor form field type in XML

[keep]

I want to write an own system plugin.
I defined some config fields in the xml file but there is some problem if I try to add an editor field. The editor floats outside the area.
You can check it on this screenshot

I think I have to put a line break between the label and the editor. Or I need this editor under the plugin description like in mod_custom.
Can you help me to solve this problem please?

The config popup page of an extension is usually to save some critical settings (usernames, passwords, paths, etc...). Have a text editor in there is maybe too much. I suggest you create a view in your extension (in the backend) to show and save the information in that text field.

If you want to invest a lot of time on having the text editor in the config popup, then I suggest you tinker with it in Google Chrome (play with the CSS settings, etc...) until it looks as you want it to look.

Thanky you for your reply but it isn't a component it's just a system plugin, there are no views, etc.
As far as I see there are no exceptions in com_plugins/plugin/tmpl/edit_options.php
There is only

Code: Select all

<?php echo $field->label; ?>
<?php echo $field->input; ?>

Maybe I can put some overrides in bluestork template's html folder

Code: Select all

<?php echo $field->label; ?>
<?php if($myConditions) { echo '<div style="clear:both" />'; }
<?php echo $field->input; ?>

Or something

If you want to change the template, then it's probably better to create a copy of that template, name it to something like "mysite-template", assign it to your website, and the modify it.

The bluestork template is a core template and may be changed with a future version of Joomla.
