Thanks Dazmond. This worked for me. In v4.5 my code started @ 3944 - 3983.</p> <p>Definitely looks a lot better and people are less confused about it. </p> Dazmond on "Address Field Names above fields" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/address-field-names-above-fields#post-16829 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:55:14 +0000 Dazmond 16829@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Here is the reply I received from tech support, may be of use:</p> <p>You can edit "includes/view-functions.php" file for this.<br /> Go to around line 3348 ~ 3386 and you will see this code :</p> <pre><code>$element_markup = <<<EOT <li id="li_{$element->id}" {$li_class}> <label class="description">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label> <div> <span id="li_{$element->id}_span_1"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text large" value="{$default_value_1}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$mf_lang['address_street']}</label> </span> <span id="li_{$element->id}_span_2" {$address_line2_style}> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text lar ge" value="{$default_value_2}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$mf_lang['address_street2']}</label> </span> <span id="li_{$element->id}_span_3" class="left state_list"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text large" value="{$default_value_3}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$mf_lang['address_city']}</label> </span> <span id="li_{$element->id}_span_4" class="right state_list"> {$state_markup} <label for="element_{$element->id}_4">{$mf_lang['address_state']}</label> </span> <span id="li_{$element->id}_span_5" class="left"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_5" name="element_{$element->id}_5" class="element text large" maxlength="15" value="{$default_value_5}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_5">{$mf_lang['address_zip']}</label> </span> <span id="li_{$element->id}_span_6" class="right"> <select class="element select large" id="element_{$element->id}_6" name="element_{$element->id}_6"> {$country_markup} </select> <label for="element_{$element->id}_6">{$mf_lang['address_country']}</label> </span> </div>{$guidelines} {$error_message} </li> EOT;</code></pre> <p>Then change <label> tag position to be above <input> tag. </p> DaveVoss on "Address Field Names above fields" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/address-field-names-above-fields#post-16823 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 02:34:17 +0000 DaveVoss 16823@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Yes, I agree that that would be nice. I don't know why it seems confusing with the labels below. I guess it's becuase alll the other fields have their labels above. </p> Dazmond on "Address Field Names above fields" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/address-field-names-above-fields#post-16819 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 00:07:01 +0000 Dazmond 16819@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi There,</p> <p>Is it possible to have the field names for the address section to be above the fields rather than below?</p> <p>Some users are becoming confused with the postcode section and entering information required in the field above instead.</p> <p>I've seen a fix for this in the forums but the post is 2 years old, it no longer works as I assume the code has changed a lot since then?</p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>Darren. </p>
