Error on changing field type: "There is data for this field in the database. The field settings can no longer be changed."

There is data for this field in the database. The field settings can no longer be changed.

This is in Drupal 7, stock install, in a custom content type. Trying to convert from an Integer to Float. I know the appropriate MySQL statement to make the change to the column:

alter table field_data_field_bathrooms modify column field_bathrooms_value double;

That will give me the database storage I want.

But, when I try to enter a decimal/float value, Drupal gives me the following error:

Serial Tracker

Hello Everyone,

Drupal 7 Customize or change login form?

I want to remove the ability for a user to click "request new password" and also the H2 user login heading. It seems silly to me these are not options part of drupal already. How would I go about this all I've seen is coding examples and no template that can be overridden. I've searched modules but none of them that come up seem to have the functionality I'm looking for.

Oh I should mention I'm using the login in a block.

Thanks.

Panel Question

Ok I am really starting to see the light with Panels. One question that I have not been able to figure out is how to get a specific field as the title. I have tried several ways but can only get the name of the field as the title not the value. Also as a side note does anyone know how to print all the fields of a content type even if they do no have any data in them?

Thanks
