com_connect - form and contact mailer

Thanks all…I’ve just gone with an inline class label.comRequired for now. Seems a bit strange that the class attribute for the input tag is also applied to the label tag, or maybe its just me :)

Well it’d require extra attributes (like labelclass or something) which adds complexity. And as phiw13 says, you can easily target them individually if required by using a compound selector, so we decided this was an acceptable tradeoff.

If anyone can come up with an alternative method for class naming that is better/simpler/more flexible, by all means suggest it.

There’s no reason why you can’t use:

<div class="myclass1">
    <txp:com_connect_text class="" name="name" size="32" label="Name" />
</div>
<div class="myclass2">
    <txp:com_connect_email class="" name="email" size="32" />
</div>

And then use CSS like this:

.myclass1 label { *declarations here* }
.myclass1 input { *declarations here* }

So I feel the current plugin behaviour is OK.

Bloody css/js frameworks, gentlemen, with their proprietary classnames.

Oh. Yes I can see why you’d want to have more directly applied classnames now.

Yes…this is for an updated website using Tachyons which is really nice to use but requires classes to be placed on individual elements which can be a pain…but I do think it is unintuitive to have a class applied to the Textpattern tag which relates to an input element also apply to a label element. I’m not sure what to suggest – it is an easy workaround I know.

placeholder text doesn’t show up. :( what i should check?

my form:

<txp:com_connect to="john@example.com" label="" subject="Message" thanks="Your message has been sent, thank You!" lang="en-gb">
  <txp:com_connect_text label=" " placeholder="Name" break="" />
  <txp:com_connect_email name="email" type="email" label=" " placeholder="Email" break="" />
  <txp:com_connect_textarea rows="4" cols="25" label=" " placeholder="Message" break="" />
  <txp:com_connect_submit label="Send" />
</txp:com_connect>

Edit: Replaced email, textilised code. Uli

What is the Doctype of your site (Amin > Preferences > Site)? That attribute is only applied if it is set to HTML5.
