This field item is used for blocks of text that act as headlines, due to the large font size and applied 'bold' style.
none.
This field is WYSIWYG enabled. Click the [Toggle WYSIWYG] link to activate this functionality. If you leave the element or click the [Toggle WYSIWYG] link again, you will notice your text is now surrounded by a <p> tag. This tag is set in the movefiles/formpage.css as having 0 margin and 0 padding, thus these elements behave like <br /> tags.
Basic Attributes
Label
The text your element displays.
As of Build 701, this field accepts the standard RackForms 2 token set for field labels. Please see the in-app tooltip for exact values to use.
As of Build 705, this field now accepts the standard RackForms 2 token set for Section/Headline Text and Body Copy elements. That is, we used to only be able to use the @{value} token, as can now use F{}, S{} and so on.
The 'new' RackForms standard tokens will, by default, transform line breaks into HTML br tags. This is very handy when we want to display a text area to a user where such line breaks have been added. This ensures the typed value matches, as closely as possible, the display.
Also in Build 705 is the 'raw' field token: FR{field_name}. This token was created because by default, when we use a F{} token for say, text1, we are actually creating the following code:
<?php if(isset($_SESSION['qs']["{$_SESSION['entry_key']}"]['text1'])) { echo "{$_SESSION['qs']["{$_SESSION['entry_key']}"]['text1']}"; }?>
That is, a full (but inline) PHP block. This makes it impossible to create custom logic in a Body Copy or Section Text block, as the open and close PHP blocks break any such custom code.
Thus, the raw token only places the raw field value into the text data, nothing more. The same text1 item now looks like:
$_SESSION['qs']["{$_SESSION['entry_key']}"]['text1']
That is, no PHP block, and no isset().
Name/Value
This element is set by RackForms automatically, though it is recommended to change this value if you decide to display Javascript validation messages, as the text of the error is the value of this field. This value is displayed by default if no Label attribute is assigned to the element. For technical users, this element name is in fact the same as the Name/Value html form attribute of this element.
id
By default is assigned the same value as the Name/Value element, though you can change this to a more field specific value. Not necessary for most applications. For technical users, this is the id attribute of the field item.
Wrapper Class Name
Every field element in RackForms is wrapped in either a LI or DIV element for Sortable or Free Form page types, respectively. When you place a value in this box it becomes the
class="" attribute for that wrapper. Because a wrapper encompass both the input element and wrapper, you can use this value to show and hide sections of your form.
Field Style Properties
Element z-index
New to Build 697, this feature allows us to set the z-index of most items. This property is reflected in the editor as well, making positioning items much more streamlines than in previous versions.
By default most items, with the exception of calendar fields, have a base index of 1. This means so long as your form fields to not overlap you will not need to set this property. However, some fields, such as images or those with popup's (like the calendar field), benefit from setting a different layering order.
Text Color
Click into the box to load the color selector. Drag your cursor over the saturation in the main box to select the color intensity, or drag the hue slider to change color.
Font Size(px)
Type a number in this box to change the font size of the element.
Label Font Weight
New to Build 685, this option lets us set the font weight of the forms field label or main text block.
Element Position
Use this control to position an element to the right of the page, as opposed to the default left.
Label Position
Has no effect for this field. Might be implemented in later versions.
