Placeholder

Permalink Browser Info Environment
It seems only the "Textbox" allows for Placeholder options. Can we get this to be an option for TextArea, Select, etc..?

If this is available option, it's not working.

Hi,
Adding a placeholder is simply a matter of changing the view.php for each field type. To add a placeholder to the field text area. Go to packages/formify/elements/field_types/textarea and edit the view.php to echo the placeholder using the code below. 

<?php  defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied."); ?>
<div class="formify-field-label">
   <label>
     <?php  echo $field->label; ?> <?php  echo $field->requiredIndicator; ?>
     <div class="formify-field-description"><?php echo $field->description; ?></div>
  </label>
</div>
<div class="formify-field-input formify-textarea <?php  echo $field->fieldClass; ?>">
   <textarea id="sem-field-<?php  echo $field->ffID; ?>" name="<?php  echo $field->ffID; ?>" ><?php  echo htmlspecialchars($field->defaultValue); ?> <?php  echo htmlspecialchars($field->placeholder); ?> </textarea> 
</div>



All you are doing is adding 
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($field->placeholder); ?>


This general approach will work for most field types.

Best
Phil
