Placeholders in List "Introduction": Is this possible?

[alastairwalker]

This topic was started as a thread in

http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?threads/placeholder-in-table-introduction.31819/

under the topic of 'placeholder in table "introduction".

But there was no response to it.

Has anyone tried this? The tip text suggests this is possible. But if I add a placeholder, it simply displays the placeholder text as entered.

Using J! 3.2; FB: 3.1 latest release.

I think placeholder working at "group by" area only. At introduction will not because it view multiple data/row in same time.

Mmmmm. I guess you are right. The Wiki help text suggests otherwise.

What's the format of the place holder are you trying to use? I just tried a simple {where_i_came_from} and that works. So need more to go on to debug

A quick question: Is the tooltip text accurate? Or does it need to be corrected. Some examples of what type of text can be used in the Intro will be useful. For example - html tags appear to be unacceptable.

I have a WYSIWYG editor set on my introduction and this works for text properties. http://demos.fabriking.com/row-label-repeat

Maybe actually explain what you are trying to achieve as I really have nothing to go on here. What placeholder information do you want to use, what HTML tags are you trying to use? Screenshots?

In the List->Details->Introduction I have added the html tags:

<h2>This is some text</h2>

When I look at the rendered display, it simply renders:

<h2>This is some text</h2>

I am using the JCK WYSIWYG editor.

Are you in source mode when you create that text?

That corrected it! The correct text and font is displayed! Thank you for your input!
