Hello,

I would like one of my fields I'm adding to be a simple textarea. In 5.2 I used:

XLite\View\FormField\Textarea\Simple

I'm having trouble locating the 5.3 equivalent although the advanced text area works fine:

'type'     => 'XLite\View\FormModel\Type\TextareaAdvancedType'

I don't want any of the markup from the WYSIWYG editor. Any guidance is appreciated!

Thank you.

I believe you can use older classes via "XLite\View\FormModel\Type\OldType" type.
Here is an example from the source code:

PHP Code:

// ...
                'images'             => [
                    'label'        => static::t('Images'),
                    'type'         => 'XLite\View\FormModel\Type\OldType',
                    'oldType'      => 'XLite\View\FormField\FileUploader\Image',
                    'fieldOptions' => ['value' => $images, 'multiple' => true],
                    'position'     => 300,
                ],
// ... 


So, you may try something like this with 'oldType' => 'XLite\View\FormField\Textarea\Simple'.
I think this should work.

I had tried that, and it does produce a simple textarea field, but unfortunately it would not populate or save the data. Do I need to use any particular fieldOptions because I did not include that parameter.

I can't find examples in the source code, but it may be that you should specify your "fieldName" in the "fieldOptions" array.

Check the HTML source code of the page when you use TextareaAdvancedType and compare the "name" attribute of the text area with the one that is used when you change the type to OldType.
