Adds additional filed types to Coranto.
Adds new types of Custom Fields as well as extending the functionality of some of the existing fields. The new fields are:
* Descriptionfield: Not really an inputfield, but instead lets you create a header or an explanation at the submit news page for a group of other fields, which can be a visual aid if you have many fields.
* Password Field: Letīs you hide a fields value even at the modify news page. Works like a HTML password field and scrambles the value so it isnīt possible to retrieve the value.
* Drop Down Box From File: A newsfield that get it's options from a file of your choice. It works very much the same as a normal Drop Down Field, but the entries in the box is fetched from a file instead of being specified inside the admin interface of Coranto.
* Concatenation Field: A newsfield that lets you choose two fields and concatenate their contents into just one which can be useful together with Maginot.
The fields that are being extended by this addon are:
* Single Line Input: Possible to choose that the field will be updated with the current time when posting or modifying news. Great if you edit a newspost and want to show "last altered at" or something.
* Drop Down Box: Possible to add new values on the fly when submitting/modifying news instead of just doing it at the Fields settings page. The values in the box are then alphabetically sorted. You can also make the dropdown to a multiple selection box.
The addon also lets you define validations that a field must pass through when submitting a newsitem, which for example can be used to check that a field really contains a date in the format you want.
