Custom Types

HTML Form includes several types (listed below). You can also add any type by simply creating a helper function to render it.

The helper function must be named input_{$type}, and must take these arguments:

* $object: The DataMapper object being rendered.
* $field: The field, related field, or id to be rendered.
* $value: The current value for the field. This is updated automatically based on what was submitted.
* $options: An associative array of options for the field.

Example

Code:

// Render a JavaScript Calendar
function input_calendar($object, $field, $value, $options)
{
    return "<input type=\"text\" id=\"$field\" name=\"$field\" value=\"$value\">";
}

Then simply set the type of any object to calendar to use this input type.

In the example code, $object is being passed for what purpose?
Is it in case you need to use it? Don't see any magical way... 8-/

btw, I have created my custom type as input_hidepreset
