Adding a new field type correctly is quite major modification. You'll need to modify almost every part of the script, since it's related with the processing code, entries code, notification code, chart code, etc. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/html-5-input-types#post-23625 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 00:22:13 +0000 offcourse 23625@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Question: How difficult would it be to create a range form field type? Would it be as easy as copying the number section in view_functions.php, name it differently and tweak accordingly? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/html-5-input-types#post-17797 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 00:36:05 +0000 colinrood 17797@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi<br /> Has this changed in the latest v3.4? Is there a list of lines to change available? As I am working on mobile devices this would make good sense. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/html-5-input-types#post-13869 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 06:27:56 +0000 alecd4 13869@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I was able to implement HTML5 date type for date input fields with small modifications in view_functions.php and post_functions.php So now when the form is displayed in iPhone/iPad with iOS 4.x and up, an iOS date wheel pops up otherwise normal machorm triplets is displayed</p> <p>Additionaly I set type='tel' in html markup for numeric fields and type='email' for email fields and type='url' for website fields - all in view_functions.php. Now ipad provides an appropriate keyboard. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/html-5-input-types#post-13853 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:15:18 +0000 alecd4 13853@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>We got your product today and love it. I noticed that it doesn't support HTML5 input types like number, date, datetime. I know that our target audience will mostly use ipads. The date control that comes with machforms looks a bit odd on ipad when users expect native ipad date picker wheel. I know HTML5 support is not yest implemented. How do you recommend to retrofit php to bring HTML5 input types, at least for date? </p>
