Please replace the ??? with your data!

  • Your URL: http://???
  • The browser used: ???
  • cforms version: 7
  • Your Wordpress version: ???

Hi,  I wish to re-locate the "require" html code to infront of "label". Currently, the require is located after the input area. Example of what I want :

Name * —Input Area—

The asterisk mark will the the require text that I am going to enter.  I understand tht I can add a HTML (ie<font….) to the label field but this will break the variable that I am going t use in the Auto confirmation.

Any advise.

Thanks in avance

Tony, you have three options, with no. 3 being the recommended one.

  1. Move the form elements around via CSS:
    1. float the required field and input field to the right and the label to left
    2. set all margins for (input, required field and label) appropriately
  2. Modify the source code to 'physically' change the order of elements
  3. Use CSS backgrounds to change the respective label ID's look
    1. Activate LABEL ID's in the Styling Menu
    2. Add specific CSS to your cforms CSS theme, e.g.
      #label—2 { background: url(req-bg.gif) no-repeat right top; }

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for your recommendation.

For Option 3, the asterisk mark is not based on my form setting but rather just to hardcode the label. I may create other forms as well so this method may not be feasible.

For Option 1, it will mess up the CSS a lot.

I would like to go for option 2 but any idea where should I make changes. I believe it is under cforms.php but can you guide me which line I need to change.

Your assistance is very very much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes it be in cforms.php, but I can't provide you any support in customizing it to your specific needs.

The only rough guide-line would be to search for <label and move that part of the code after the <input fields get added.

Considering a future upgrade path, this frankly would be the least favorable approach.

By the way why not do something like this:

Message<span class="m">*</span>

The corresponding variabel name would be:

{Message<span class="m">*</span>}

not pretty, but it works like a charm.

 

EDIT: It works in the TXT part of the (admin/confirmation) emails, not in the HTML part yet – there seems to be a tiny bug.

I'll fix it tomorrow and can send you an update per email.

Hi Oliver,

Yes, initially, I did what you have suggested and place the whole string in admin/confirmation/html and it can't work. That is why I asked whether there is any alternative way.

Glad that you are fixing it.

Thanks for such a beautiful plugin and your support.

Regards
