[solved]$extra param for Form

[rhamej]

Why does this not work?

Code: Select all

$this->CreateFormStart($id, 'add_event', $returnid, $method='post', $enctype='', $extra='whoa')

The form is not adding anything I define for $extra.

Ok, I just had the syntax wrong. Here it is correct for anyone interested

Code: Select all

 $this->CreateFormStart($id, 'add_event', $returnid, $method='post', $enctype='', false, $idsuffix, $params, $extra='onsubmit="return validate_form(this)"') .

Also, and I'm not sure why this was done. But the $extra is defined with cms_htmlentities. Which means when the quotes were getting parsed, the browser was showing them as

Code: Select all

"

To fix this, open up lib/classes/module_support/modform.inc.php and find this on line 43.

Code: Select all

$extra = cms_htmlentities($extra);

And delete

Code: Select all

cms_htmlentities
