MIGX Management component - what does the config field do?

Hi,

Whats the config input do when adding a migx field.

I'm assuming it will allow you to added some configs relevant to the input TV type. If so can maxLength be used and how?

migx version 2.4.3

It specifies the config that you have created in the MIGx Component. See http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGXdb.Create+a+basic+gallery-management+from+scratch+with+MIGXdb#MIGXdb.Createabasicgallery-managementfromscratchwithMIGXdb-CreatetheConfiguration for an example configuration.

In MIGXfe this field can allready be used for input-properties for any TV-type.
this can be used either for a migx-TV-configname or for input-properties of any TV-type as json-string

I'm just about to add this feature to MIGX/MIGXdb too.

Hey Susan, sorry are you referring the the configuration field when creating you migx TV as i mean the field that's available when your creating the fields for you migx instance. So
MIGX component >> MIGX tab >> Add Item >> formtabs >> Add Item >> (fields section)Add Item >> Field tab then at the bottom you have configs.
Sorry prob confused it by mentioning the "input TV type" field that appear next to it, as just realised it's the same when creating the TV.
