CSS Class for Field

[wcmanuel]

Hi guys,

I'm terrible at "coding", so i need some advice please.

Creating the fields is easy, and perfect, the component is awesome in that sense, but if i wanted to shorten a field where a client needed to add information into.

How do i do that I'm not winning here, i duno what to do to shorten the field, its the whole length of the CMS page.

Help me please please.

Thank you

I have the same problem. I have tried to enter some text for the class and then saved and generated the form. Then looked at the source code for the created from all I see is

html > body #page_bg .color_blue bg_blue width_fmax > div .center > div #wrapper > div #wrapper_r > div #whitebox > div #whitebox_m > div #area > div #maincolumn > table .nopad > tbody > tr > td > table #ckformcontainer .contentpaneopen > tbody > tr > td > form #ckform .form-validate ckform > input #FirstName .inputbox ckrequired ckCSSinputnormal ckCSSTip

so question is do we create a new class in the style sheet, if so lets say is it is class foobar

do we enter into the layout fields the value ".foobar" with out the quotes?

Still not successful hey, my only pain is this problem. The component is awsome, and really perfect, so i think this should be part of the application when creating a field. I can't understand why that was not considered when updating ckforms ... then there'll be no beating it.

Agreed?

Hi,

to change the length of the fields :

- give a value to the field property : "CSS class for field" in CKForms backend.
- go in the CSS files (CKForms home in joomla Backend)
- give "width" value for the CSS class you set like :

.mycssclass {
width: 100px;
}
