Converting page elements
It is possible to convert a content element from one type to another. For example, you can create a ‘regular text’ content element and later convert it into a ‘text with image’ content element without losing any of your data.
This can be achieved by following these steps:
- In the modules menu click the 'Page' module link located in the 'Content' section.
- In the site tree click the title of the page containing the content element you wish to edit.
- You should now see the page-editing interface appear in the content editing window.
- Click the ‘Edit element’ icon associated with the content element you wish to change.
- The content editing form should now appear in the content editing window.
- Within ‘General’ under ‘Type’ there is a dropdown menu.
- Within ‘Type’ select the content element you wish to convert to.
- When prompted to ‘Save now in order to refresh the display’ click ‘OK’.
- Once you have finished editing the content editing form click the ‘Save’ or ‘Save and close’ button in the toolbar.
