Permissions are fine.

Hi, iToggle only provides a field formatter for boolean fields, not a widget. This formatter is provided by the iToggle Field sub-module..

The problem is that EXISTING boolean fields cannot use this widget type.

Fundamentally there should not be a different field type for this, it should only be a widget for boolean fields. It's a needless restriction that causes module lock in.

@doublejosh you're totally right dude. The truth is that this module is in an awkward place at the moment!

I've learnt a lot since I first wrote it and the only way to truly "fix" it would be to re-write the entire thing. Not that it's terrible (although it does do some things terribly), but it was just built wrong from the ground up...

At this point though, I have no time and hardly anyone uses it, plus Drupal 8 around the corner so, yeah, I probably won't be committing anything other than patches to it :)

Sorry!
