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?

Simple as that.

  I still don't believe he can really be human to do all this ! From all of the forums that I've ever participated in this is certainly the one that most encapsulates the feeling of being truly open source where everyone's opinions and contributions can and will shape the development of the service! It's truly awesome! Hope you enjoy cooking and look forward to reading and contributing to any of the editorial work that you proposed too!! Thanks
