Each form would have its own id number and the text field also having its own id number. All we need to do is to add the conditions. So let say you have three forms, you can change this code: <pre><code>if($_REQUEST['id'] == 40 and $element->id == 1){ $field_type = 'password'; }</code></pre> to become like this: <pre><code>if( ($_REQUEST['id'] == 40 and $element->id == 1) or ($_REQUEST['id'] == 41 and $element->id == 3) or ($_REQUEST['id'] == 42 and $element->id == 4) ){ $field_type = 'password'; }</code></pre> simply change the above form id number and element id number based on your own forms.

What if I want to run this on multiple forms? How would I change the code so it wasent just doing it with the one field on the one form?

Worked first time! MachForms is better than I could have possibly hoped! I keep thinking of different ways to use it. You rock! yuniar on "new password field" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/new-password-field#post-11681 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 13:20:10 +0000 yuniar 11681@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi Ed, It's quite simple indeed. Let's take a look an example with this form: <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/forms/view.php?id=40" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/forms/view.php?id=40</a> The form above is having id number = 40 Our goal is to change the "My Password Field" textbox into a password field. First, right click on that form and view the HTML source of the form. You'll see that "My Password Field" is having this code: <pre><code><input id="element_1" name="element_1" class="element text medium" type="text" value="" /></code></pre> this means that the field is having element id = 1 Now, you need to edit your "includes/view-functions.php" file. Search around line 40 for this block of code: <pre><code>$element_markup = <<<EOT <li id="li_{$element->id}" {$error_class}> <label class="description" for="element_{$element->id}">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label> <div> <input id="element_{$element->id}" name="element_{$element->id}" class="element text {$element->size}" type="text" value="{$element->default_value}" /> </div>{$guidelines} {$error_message} </li> EOT;</code></pre> You need to change it to become like this: <pre><code>$field_type = 'text'; if($_REQUEST['id'] == 40 and $element->id == 1){ $field_type = 'password'; } $element_markup = <<<EOT <li id="li_{$element->id}" {$error_class}> <label class="description" for="element_{$element->id}">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label> <div> <input id="element_{$element->id}" name="element_{$element->id}" class="element text {$element->size}" type="{$field_type}" value="{$element->default_value}" /> </div>{$guidelines} {$error_message} </li> EOT;</code></pre> Just make sure to change the form id number and element id number above with your own id numbers.

Just to be clear, I know I can password protect an entire form, but I want to just have one of the fields in a form obscured as a password box should be. I am told its a "simple hack" but if someone could post the steps and code needed I would be very grateful.

I have already modified display_text() function, it displays an input field as a password field if its title is "Password" or "password". That takes care of the issue for now. As to the additional validation, I'll see if I can manage to make it work in process_form(). Thanks again, and congratulations on a very nice piece of software.

Nice work (-: It would be great to have a password field added to the forms. I read that about 11 months ago you had added this to the feature requests here: <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/password-field?replies=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/password-field?replies=3</a> What is the time line for adding this feature to your product? yuniar on "new password field" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/new-password-field#post-4777 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 18:49:18 +0000 yuniar 4777@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I'm afraid it would be quite difficult to add a new field type. It requires a lot of code across multiple files. I suggest to just hack the current function which display the text field to display password field based on certain condition. You need to modify "includes/view-functions.php" file, at the top you will find "display_text()" function. Adjust this function to display as password field. Regarding additional validation, if you need to compare two fields, you need to modify "process_form()" function in "includes/post-functions.php". Add the code which do the checking there. You can access the value of your form fields by using the "$input" array. Try dumping the content of this array to see what inside of it. souda on "new password field" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/new-password-field#post-4767 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:43:19 +0000 souda 4767@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi, I have two questions: (1) I would like to add a new field type to the form which is not available in the form editor. This field is supposed to be password, so it should have type="password" in the final form (entry replaced with dots when typed). And also, I would like it to have a unique field name in the table created for the form (I'm going to use it later, so it would be easier if it had a unique name). Could you please give me some advice where to start and which scripts to modify? (2) Is it possible to add additional validations for certain fields? For example, if I have a password field (see above) I would like to have a second password field next to the first one so a user is asked to retype the password. Then these two fields should match before the form is submited. Thanks a lot in advance...
