Attribute to an <input> element.

[ituxxl]

The Fabrikar element is a field ... so i need to add my own attribute to an input element.
In this case i need to put
data-uk-datepicker="{format:'DD.MM.YYYY'}" into the renderd <input> tag from the fabrikar field.
I know it exist an datefield in fabrikar, i don't want to use it.

I searched hours but couldnt find a solution. I tried to rewrite

/plugins/fabrik_element/field/field.php

and

/plugins/fabrik_element/field/forms/field.xml

but also i hang up in code.

Solved otherwise! I take now chronoform5 to edit the table-record.
I use in the list the php-plugin to create a button, wich open a chronoform in db-read mode.
So everything is perfect an powerfull now.

You could just use an element layout override.

... which allows you to very simply and easily provide your own markup for the element.

Hugh - that would be a site-wide change affecting all instances.

What would be nice would be an easy way to add an attribute to the input field rendered by a single instance of a plug-in, similar to the way you might add a module class suffix to just one instance of a module. This could be used to add the HTML5 autofocus attribute to a first element of a form as well as to set data- attributes that enhance accessibility. So far, I'm not seeing an easy way to generically append attribute content inside the <input> tag.

Yeah, we're looking at adding per-form and per-template layout overrides, but we're not quite there yet.

I'll look at adding attributes on a per-element basis.

Hi Hugh
was this ever added to the input fields ?

Nope, not yet.

At this point in Fabrik's life cycle, we're really only adding new features if a) 90% of users need them, or b) someone pays us to add it.
