(NE) Custom Field Placeholders

Installed only a few hours ago – and already a feature request!

It would be helpful to be able to put in a custom title for each placeholder so that we can tell exactly what it is – and also that the list should be alphabetically arranged at least on that custom topic title.

It seems to me that there is space for another column - and it would be helpful to have it in the leftmost column position.

In fact – another feature request – is it possible to have placeholders display in colour??? Or bold? Or both?

Thanks

I've got a few ideas already in this area, but I will add in a "Notes" field to allow you to put some information in. But this...

I am keeping the field id as the first column.

Placeholders are text only - no html. There are CSS tricks out there though, and I will have a think about how they can be implemented (there are NO promises that this will be implemented)

v1.0.1 has been submitted for approval:

• FIX: minor language string modifications
• NEW: addition of a 'Notes' field for placeholders, allowing you to place reference information about the placeholder itself
• NEW: addition of custom CSS functionality, per-placeholder, to allow you to style the placeholder text
• NEW: display settings added to allow truncation of the 'Placeholder text' and 'Notes' content in the ACP
• CHANGE: 'How to use' information updated

I'm surprised there hasn't been a greater take-up of this plug-in because it's excellent and easy to configure.

However, I'm trying to put a placeholder into the reported posts and I can't find the input ID.

Could you help please

Thanks - you cannot put a placeholder into a rich text editor field, which is what the reported post functionality uses (refer to 'Notes' section on the file listing)

Are you aiming to change the "Optionally enter a message with your report" information already displayed there? If so, the language string is 'report_message_placeholder'

Thank you very much for this information. That's very helpful.

Can you please stop shaking your head around. I don't know about you but it is making me very dizzy!
