Need a "Clear ALL" button

As I work on my form, I realize that we need a "Clear All" button. Perhaps the person no longer wants to register, or wants to start over? Right now there is no way to clear out all of the entries. Can this be added?

Thanks

Daryl

Hi Daryl

We don't have this button on the form. However, I think you can edit the form layout you are using (for example E:\www\cmsdev\components\com_pmform\view\form\tmpl\default.php), add a reset button to the form, something like this:

That should allow users to click on to reset the input of all form fields which the person just entered so that he can start over.

This should work. I'll give it a try, and let you know if it works for me.

Thank you.

Daryl

Tuan,

I looked at the form in question, but I don't know where to add the reset button. Any suggestions on where I would add this bit of code?

Thanks

Daryl

Hi

You can try to get this file, unzip it, upload the file to components/com_pmform/views/form/tmpl folder. After that, it should work as expected

Tuan,

That's a slightly different path than what you told me before. Should it be "view" or "views"?

Thanks

Daryl

Sorry, "view", not "views". From version 3.5, I changed the all folder to singular to use Joomla PHP auto-loader feature. The views folder is there now just for backward compatible with Joomla 2.5. It will be removed when we drop support for Joomla 2.5

I found default.php in two different locations:

components/com_pmform/view/forms/tmpl/default.php
components/com_pmform/view/form/tmpl/default.php

Which one should I put this fix in?

Thanks

Daryl

components/com_pmform/view/form/tmpl/default.php

Tuan,

I put the new default.php file in place, but the "reset" button does not appear on the form.

Thank you.
