Zachary, do you want to add an additional field onto the join form? If so, you can add it via Admin Area. If I took you wrong - please provide us with more details.

The more details you will provide - the more efficient my assistance will be.

I also want to know how to apply custom attribute to the form fields

eg: {input name='identity'}  converts to <input type="text" name="......

i want to specify id, classes, placeholder etc but not able to do so because of this string conversion.

pls state a method to do so.....

Jaswinder, please explain in more details what exactly you want to do and how it should work.

in "homepath/ow_system_plugins/veiws/controllers/sign-in.html"

input field are encode, like username field is {input name='identity'}

i want to add some css classes and a placeholder to very possible field be it of sign-in form or join form

what i did is added classes and placeholder to this string {input name='identity' class="myclass" placeholder="Enter your username"}

and it produced a 500 error several times

after some tries it displayed the sign-in form but the css class and placeholder i added was missing...

i want to modify the fields with a field placeholder and some additional classes, so kindly pls let me know the doing this

important: don't stick to sign-in form fields, i want a way which can help me in customising overall fields (join,sign-in,verify,forgot forms) if i have to change multiple pages to do so i'm ready

Ok, let's take an example the Sign in form.

To add a filed onto this form first you should:

- describe this field in /ow_system_plugins/base/components/sign_in.php file. For example:

        $foo = new TextField('foo');
        $foo->setRequired(true);
        $foo->setHasInvitation(true);
        $foo->addAttribute('class', 'foo');
        $foo->setInvitation(OW::getLanguage()->text('foo', 'component_foo_login_invitation'));
        $form->addElement($foo);

- then add this field via /ow_system_plugins/veiws/controllers/sign-in.html. For example:

               <div class="foo">
                    {input name='foo'}
                </div>

Also, do not forget to add a data processing for this field. You can use the Sign in form fields as an example.

@Jaswinder, Zachary

I think Daisy doesn't really get the picture of what you are asking for. You can try this code {input name=$question.name placeholder=$question.name} in the join page.

@Daisy

The placeholder property was suppose to place the input label (question name) inside the input boxes.

The code I provided above works with password fields but the rest of the form fields are filled with some funny codes. It will be great for someone to improve on it.

@Ebenezer

Daisy is right

right way to add placeholder is using addAttribute()

if you want placeholder then just do something like this $foo->addAttribute('placeholder', 'foo');

Thanks Mohammad. Daisy, my apologies, you are a genius :)

Daisy just gave the solution !!! What you need then ?
