TOPIC: V2.0.1 Problems with field tips

The text in the field tips (templates and events) is cut after 120 characters. Is there any possibility to change this?

Hi Patrik,

sorry i don't understand which field you are referring to - could you please provide a screenshot?

Yves

See screenshot.

Ah okay got it. You could change the input fields code (administrator/components/com_matukio/helper/util_events.php on line 1425 - maxlength=\"120\" to 250 for example), no idea why this is limited to 120.

Yves

P.S. These event fields are a bit deprecated, if possible you should use the new booking form with the new booking fields manager

Ok. Thank you. The only reason why I use these fields (I'm using only two of these, all others I'm doing with the new fields manager) is the possibility to add tooltips. As far as I can see there is no possibility to do this with the new fields manager.

Hi Patrik,

when you mouse over the new booking fields there is an fieldname_DESC displayed as tooltip. If you copy this one into the translation file of matukio (/language/de-DE/de-DE.com_matukio.ini) you have some sort of tooltip.

For example:

COM_MATUKIO_FIELDS_SURNAME = "Surname"
COM_MATUKIO_FIELDS_SURNAME_DESC="Please enter your surname here"

Yves

Perhaps we make an extra optional tooltip field with the next version (any hints on this?)

Ok. I tried this. BTW it was hard to understand it because the correct (or may be wrong) string is:

COM_MATUKIO_COM_MATUKIO_FIELDS_SURNAME_DESC="Please enter your surname here"

Seems to be a little bug in all fields, because of the double COM_MATUKIO

I will try it with the select options. But I also would appreciate it very much if you would add this feature in a future version.

Aye already fixed that in the current dev. version, if you add your own fields with the current version you have to use COM_MATUKIO_fieldname_DESC = "xyz". COM_MATUKIO_ prefix will be removed with the next version.

I'm using now the new booking fields option. This works fine. But there is a new problem now:

When I'm adding a required textfield and forget to fill in I get as expected the message "Error: This field is required" underneath the field.
When I'm adding a select field (also required) I'm redirected instead of the message to the course details page and get the info "Your booking was not successfull! Please fill out all required fields."

I have to fill out then the whole form again. It doesn't matter which required field I have forgotten to fill in, wether the new created select field or any other required text field. As soon as I disable the select field it works correctly.

Additionaly when filling in the form correctly I will not be directed to the second page. Instead I'm told that my booking was successfull! This also only happens this way when I'm using a new created select field (It doesn't matter wether this is required or not).

Hi Patrik,

please install version 2.0.2, there was a bug in 2.0.1 which caused this behavior in some browsers.

Best regards,

Yves

Just have found the problem: I have used a special character (-) in the first field (fieldname). After deleting this it works fine now. ("panchmitgliedschaft" instead of "panch-mitgliedschaft")

I'm using 2.0.2. But now I have found an other bug. Though the field "title" is requested I will be guided to the second page even if I did not make a selection. This happens also with all other select fields on the first page. It seems to work on the second page with the payment method. There I get an error message when I'm not selcting any method.

Hi Patrik,

this is a known bug, the "please choose" field needs to have an empty value (currently it's choose..), will be fixed in the next version, but you can fix it manually meanwhile.
