Web Forms For Marketters (WFFM) Html input tag with placeholder attribute

Question

I have a requirement in which I\'m implementing sitecore WFFM to create a form. The page has HTML input tags with Placeholder attribute. I have to render the WFFM SingleLine

Answer 1

I used the following code to create a Custom Field. And It works fine :)

internal class CustomType : SingleLineText
{
    [VisualProperty("Placeholder", 100)]
    [VisualCategory("Appearance")]
    public string placeholderText
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
    protected override void DoRender(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        this.textbox.Attributes.Add("placeholder", this.PlaceholderText );

        base.DoRender(writer);
    }

}

Then i just created an Field Type Item under /sitecore/system/Modules/Web Forms for Marketers/Settings/Field Types/Custom and entered assembly and class details in the item.

Works like a charm...!!
