Orchard CMS 1.4: Adding a Text Field to Custom ContentPart

orchardcms

Solution

A text field is not the same thing as a part property. Fields are not stored as their own database column. Here is an example of how you add a field to a part from a migration:

        ContentDefinitionManager.AlterPartDefinition("Product",
          builder => builder.WithField("ProductImage", fieldBuilder => fieldBuilder.OfType("MediaPickerField").WithDisplayName("Product Image")));

For text field, you'd also need to set the flavor setting by adding `.WithSetting("Flavor", "html")` to the field builder.

Problem

In the module for a custom ContentPart, how do I set a field to be a Text field? In my migrations.cs class, I have created the table for the part: ``` public int UpdateFrom1() { SchemaBuilder.CreateTable("RightContentPartRecord", table => table.ContentPartRecord() .Column<string>("Html")); return 2; } ``` So, I have a column called Html. I want to use the WYSIWYG editor, so I am told I need a Text field to get this to work "out of the box". However, this isn't happening for me, so what do I need to do to turn my column called Html into a Text field on the part? And how do I configure it to use the WYSIWYG editor?
