This project is dead and unsupported. Use Field Collection or a custom module
If you have ever had a use case that called for a double or triple text field with those text fields grouped together, this module may be for you.
However, in many cases Field Collection would be a better choice due to its flexibility. With Field Collection you can redefine which text fields are associated, but with Multi Text Fields they are permanently glued together. So why this module? It provides a slightly easier setup for having multiple text fields in one field, and can make getting the data out easier in some cases. That also includes Views; this module comes with a Views integration. Keep in mind this module only allows for text fields. For specific use cases this module may be preferable to the alternatives.
Features
- 1-3 text fields (text fields ONLY!) grouped into a single field.
- Field formatters to display only text box 1 (Title), text box 2 (Details), or text box 3 (Additional)
- Views integration
Installation and Usage
- Install and enable module either from UI or with Drush
- Go to a content type and add a field; choose "Multi Text Field". If you do not see this, clear your cache at admin/config/development/performance since Drush might not have cleared all caches (for example APC, Memcache etc).
- It will ask whether you want two text fields or three.
- Customize the text labels and save your field
To do
- Views integration
Similar Modules
