Custom fieldtype: tag pair and replace_tag_catchall()

Question

I'm building a new fieldtype which should be used with:

• single tag:

  {myfield}

...which correctly calls replace_tag() method

• single tag with modifier:

  {myfield:modifier}

...which correctly calls replace_tag_catchall()

• tag pair:

  {myfield}{somedata}{/myfield}

...which correctly calls replace_tag()

• but I also need tag pair with modifier:

  {myfield:modifier}{somedata}{/myfield:modifier}

...which should call replace_tag_catchall(), but it's not calling anything.

The documentation is relatively clear that it should work.

Any idea how I can make the miracle happen?

Answer 1

Fieldtype tag pairs with modifiers SHOULD NOT contain the modifier in the closing tag.

Wrong:

{myfield:modifier}{somedata}{/myfield:modifier}

Right:

{myfield:modifier}{somedata}{/myfield}
