TOPIC: Removing asterisks from the form.

Removing asterisks from the form. 17 years 5 months ago #1589

I know this sounds a little nitpicky, but I am wondering what file I need to edit in order to remove the asterisks from the form titles.

Example... instead of it showing:

Name*

Address*

I'd prefer it just read

Name:

Address:

I would rather have a : in place of an *, or nothing at all.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Craig,

I believe the asterisks are added because you have labeled the fields \"mandatory.\" I suspect changing the \"mandatory\" character to some other symbol could be done, maybe in the language file? (Guessing).

That makes sense. Thanks for the reply. :)

If you want to remove the asterisk altogether, just remove {validationsign} from the field style (on the \"Form Style\" pane of the admin controls, or in the field style section of the specific form field setting). No messing with the PHP is necessary.

If you want to replace the asterisk with some other text or symbol, I think you could tinker with line 234 of admin.forme.html.php. I don't know how you'd change the styling though (e.g. change it to bold face).<br><br>Post edited by: Heart Sutra, at: 2008/05/15 20:48

On further reflection, I realized you could manually bold the required fields by putting <b> tags in the Field Title. Kind of obvious, I realize, but it took me a few rounds to get there myself :blush:
