(SOLVED) How can I change fields on edit content?

[kris29]

Hi everyone,

On Edit Content in the backend I would like to make slight changes to some fields for the sake of usability.

Here is my question: Is it possible to move fields like "Active" and "Page Alias" from the Main tab to the Options tab and is there a way to change the width for certain input fields, e.g. "Title" ?

I use CMSMS 1.6.6

Any hint is appreciated.

Half solved.

In lib/classes/class.content.inc.php (from line 1917) I found all fields and I could change the input size.
But I still have no idea how these fields get assigned to the tabs 'Main' and 'Options' and where to change this.

Still hoping for help. Thank you.

you're not likely to get help for this, as this would involve hacking the core, which makes your site unsupportable and is not recommended.

In general, if you're comfortable hacking the source code, you should be prepared to support all of the changes and any side-effects.

However, in this case, I'm not sure what you're asking, as by default the "Active" and "Page Alias" properties are already on the Options tab.  If they are on the "Main" tab on your site, check the Basic Properties settings in Global Settings > Advanced Setup.

Arrgh. I totally forgot about this. Thanks jmcgin51!
