Adding Style!

[sidmel]

I did a quick search and couldn't find this anywhere.

 

I'm wanting to add a class name to text input boxes, i.e. "First Name" on the create an account page. I see where the input boxes are being created, but I was looking for some advice before adding something that blows up the forms. :blink:

this is a trial and error thing - so first things first, BACKUP before you start!

 

Go to stylesheet.css in your main catalog folder. create a new style - the easiest way of getting the syntax right is to copy another style, past it back in, change the names and values to what you need. Then go to your main page in catalog folder and change the item you want to show a new style to the new stylename. Repeat until desired effect is acheived.

For any other newbies, I've figured it out, and it's obious once you see it. You simply add the class name in the draw function called from catalog/includes/functions/html_ouput.php

 

I changed the following:

 

 

////

// Output a form textarea field

? function tep_draw_textarea_field($name, $wrap, $width, $height, $text = '', $parameters = '', $reinsert_value = true) {

? ? $field = '<textarea name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '" wrap="' . tep_output_string($wrap) . '" cols="' . tep_output_string($width) . '" rows="' . tep_output_string($height) . '"';

 

? ? if (tep_not_null($parameters)) $field .= ' ' . $parameters;

 

? ? $field .= '>';

 

? ? if ( (isset($GLOBALS[$name])) && ($reinsert_value == true) ) {

? ? ? $field .= stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);

? ? } elseif (tep_not_null($text)) {

? ? ? $field .= $text;

? ? }

 

? ? $field .= '</textarea>';

 

? ? return $field;

? }

 

////

 

to:

 

 

////

// Output a form textarea field

  function tep_draw_textarea_field($name, $wrap, $width, $height, $text = '', $parameters = '', $reinsert_value = true) {

    $field = '<textarea class=form_box name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '" wrap="' . tep_output_string($wrap) . '" cols="' . tep_output_string($width) . '" rows="' . tep_output_string($height) . '"';

 

    if (tep_not_null($parameters)) $field .= ' ' . $parameters;

 

    $field .= '>';

 

    if ( (isset($GLOBALS[$name])) && ($reinsert_value == true) ) {

      $field .= stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);

    } elseif (tep_not_null($text)) {

      $field .= $text;

    }

 

    $field .= '</textarea>';

 

    return $field;

  }

Eric - you may want to take a look at the Form Controller contribution (see my signature). It already does this and more.
