max length on form fields 12 Jul 2013 14:20 #7939

I am using a form field of type cktext. I'd like to add a maxlength to it. Can this be done?

In the /models/forms/ xml document I have the field:

<field name="introtext"
label="RSADMINISTRATOR_FIELD_INTROTEXT"
alias="introtext"
filter="RAW"
type="cktext"/>


In the models/fields/cktext.php

public function getInput()
{

$this->input = JDom::_('html.form.input.text', array_merge(array(
'dataKey' => $this->getOption('name'),
'domClass' => $this->getOption('class'),
'domId' => $this->id,
'domName' => $this->name,
'dataValue' => $this->value,
'placeholder' => $this->getOption('placeholder'),
'responsive' => $this->getOption('responsive'),
'size' => $this->getOption('size')
), $this->jdomOptions));

return parent::getInput();
}

I'm assuming I can do something here to add ' maxlength="140" ' to the rendered html.

Any ideas?

Amazing Tool !
And only tool I know that allows complete Scaffolding in terms of component creation. It really saves loads of time (actually much more than that). Simple architecture enables quick and painless changes at any time. Code is clean and consintent. It's just... what's the word... neat! :) Great work! You should definetely try this one!
