Field Settings

Last updated 3 months ago

Was this helpful?

Starting with Simple Grids & Tables 1.7 you can manage each Simple Grid column's settings directly in the ExpressionEngine control panel when creating your Simple Grid field. A dropdown menu is available where you can add edit the settings with YAML.

Why YAML? Considering the settings for each field type is a fairly basic key > value pair, YAML makes it very straight forward to manage the settings without adding a complex user interface.

Supported settings

Below is a list of field types and their default options that are supported by Simple Grid. Other available options values are noted next to the option after the # code comment. If you only need to set a single option on a field, you do not have to include all options. For example, if you just need to change the text direction of a Text field, just add field_text_direction: 'rtl' to your settings field.

Color Picker

allowed_colors: 'any' # or 'swatches'
colorpicker_default_color: ''
value_swatches:
  - '#B52E2E|red'
  - '#30599E|blue'
  - '#16A224|green'

# value_swatches do not have to have a label, the following is also valid:
value_swatches:
  - '#B52E2E'
  - '#30599E'
  - '#16A224'
