Synopsis
Create various input field using _input
Description
_input is like input in HTML, but can differ sometimes.
Parameters
All valid HTML attributes can be used, like :
name, value, class, placeholder, required etc..
For possible types you can search the FlexForm docs for all documentation that starts with _input.
Some examples for types are : text, url, phone, textarea, password, range, checkboxes, radiobutton, email and more.
There are some FlexForm specific attributes like parsepost and html.
- parsepost can be used on e.g. a hidden field where the value holds names of other fields to be switched at post processing. e.g.
This will read the form field value with name "title" and replace [title] in the value of the newtitle field
TODO: Above needs more details
- html attribute allows filtering input fields. The options are :
- "default" which is the same as not adding it at all. It will filter by the HTMLPurifier rules (see link below)
- "all" no filtering will be done (not even XSS hacks)
- "nohtml" means all HTML will be filtered out
- "custom" is used like this : "custom=b,u,i", meaning no html is allowed, except bold, italic and underline
- required attribute in FlexForm differs from the HTML variant.
When a HTML5 form field has the word "required" as an attribute, this field will always be required. Even required="no" will make the field required.
With FlexForm this needs to be required="required" for an input field to be required. Only required or required="no" or required="whatever" will not make the field a required field.
Example on how to use required in FlexForm :
<_input type="email" name="emailfield" placeholder="This is a placeholder" required="required" />
