| Mar 9, 2016 at 13:03 | comment | added | artfulrobot | OK, thanks for clarifying. So I need to make a new field type, or use field_group to group a link and a text/select field for the classes. | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 13:01 | comment | added | mradcliffe | No, there is no field schema alter hook in either Drupal 7 or Drupal 8. Edit: Actually, I guess you could alter the plugin definition, provided your own class, implement schema method, and then all link fields will have that schema from then on. This seems like a lot of behavior to change for something like a custom menu system. | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 12:52 | comment | added | artfulrobot | So there's not a sort of "alter" option where I can alter an existing field (link) to add the extra part? | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 12:47 | comment | added | mradcliffe | I think the formatter is a good idea, but it probably doesn't fit @artfulrobot's use case of having users save arbitrary styling clues for link data. You can extend the link class and give it a different annotation and change the schema method (similar to Drupal 7). This creates a new field type plugin. File and Image field type plugins work similarly. This won't do anything about your current data though and you'll need to migrate. | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 12:45 | comment | added | artfulrobot | Thanks for the hint. The field formatter seems the third thing I'd need to create. First I need somewhere to store the classes data, then I need a widget enabling user to specify classes, then I need a formatter to apply them to the HTML. | |
