Our ExpressionEngine Add-ons have been acquired by EE Harbor. Head over there for documentation, info and support.
Text
The text fieldtype is the most basic of fieldtypes. It also serves as the default fall back when an unknown fieldtype is encountered.
The text fieldtypes has three basic settings : Generate Dummy Text, Specific Text from a Set and Sequential Text.
Generate Dummy Text
The default setting. This will use the text generation built into seed to generate filler text based on the 4 rules for this settings :
Minimum Word Count- The minimum word count for the generated text
Maximum Word Count- The maximum word count for the generated text
Maximum Character Count- The maximum character count for the generated text
Text Case- The case for the generated text. The options are : Uppercase Words, Uppercase first, lowercase or UPPERCASE.
Specific Text from a Set
This allows you to give directly control what a field is populated with.
ie. If you need the field to have one of three values : 'alpha', 'beta', 'delta', all you'd need to do is place the options on separate lines in the Possible Values input.
Seed will randomly choose one of the lines of text for each entry field it needs to populate. Need to have a field with the same value every time? Just place a single line in the value input!
Sequential Text
This allows you to create a sequence of text. Great if you need titles with a common format : ie. Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3 etc..
Place the marker : {#} anywhere in the field and it will be dynamically replaced during seed generation with the current count of the entry.
