Hi Dw,

I think the form module are missing some features:

Make a checkbox required (e.g. when the user has to accept some conditions)
Make a dropdown required (e.g. force the user to select a category for the inquiry)
Add a "class" to the parent element of each field (e.g. if I have a field with a system name "comment", then the class could be: "form-field_comment"), so it will be possible to style a specific element
Add support for the attribute "placeholder"
Better posibility to hook into the form validation script

And of course it would be nice to be able to control the output by use of different templates.

Best regards, Anders

Hi Anders

Which of the forms modules? The 'New' one (dw7 edition) or the original version?

Hi Nicolai,

Actually I do not know... :-) I have attached a screendump of the modules view. In the modul configuration I can see Form (udvidet) is activated, but is grayed out?

Hi Anders

You should have a look at Forms for datalists. It is the new one, it is template based, you can make formsave providers and you have full freedom. Downside is, that many editors do not like the interface because it is a bit geeky.

But the new one covers your feature requests.

Thanks, Nicolai!

I will give it a try! Do you have a trick for adding the "placeholder"-tag other than rewriting the entire input field?

And at the same time give the input field a custom class - e.g. to add default bootstrap styling.

When looking at creating the fields manually I can see that the "value" for radiobuttons is not available in the template tags.

Best regards, Anders

Hi Nicolai,

How do I with the module send a confirmation mail to two different addresses which is both entered directly in the form?

Besides it seems like there is no server side validation even though a field is marked as required in the module setup?

Hi Nicolai

I have a problem with invalid output of html for radio buttons where the id's is reused which also causes problems with clicking on the labels for selecting the radio button, when the id isn't unique

Please see attached screen dump

Hi Anders

Maybe a bug. Or is it in your template?

Will have QA take a look.

Hi, Anders

1. It's unable to use several email addresses nowadays;

2. TFS #13596 has been created against the validation issues.
