HTML5 Options

[Dave]

Hi,
I'm attempting to add new options to the Form handler for cakephp
1.2.5.

So far i've been able to edit cake/libs/view/helpers/form.php

Adding

function email($fieldName, $options = array()) {
$options = $this-_initInputField($fieldName, array_merge(
array('type' = 'email'), $options
));
return $this-output(sprintf(
$this-Html-tags['input'],
$options['name'],
$this-_parseAttributes($options, array('name'), null, 
' ')
));
}
function url($fieldName, $options = array()) {
$options = $this-_initInputField($fieldName, array_merge(
array('type' = 'url'), $options
));
return $this-output(sprintf(
$this-Html-tags['input'],
$options['name'],
$this-_parseAttributes($options, array('name'), null, 
' ')
));
}


At line 970 just below the text input box.

I also added
,
'url' = 'text', 'email'
 = 'text'
To the end of the map array on line 608


Finally

case 'email':
case 'url':
To line 776.

I'm curious if this was the correct way or there would be a method to
add this to an extended help handler?
Although after doing this, it does display the url/email input boxes
however it comes with an error.
Notice (8): Array to string conversion [CORE/cake/libs/view/
helper.php, line 330]

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Dave

Well you SHOULD NOT edit the core files. If you want to extend that
form helper, create your own form helper and have it extend the
original.

class MyFormHelper extends FormHelper {
}

Also we dont know what your talking about when you mention line
numbers, because you edited the file and moved the content around to
different lines.
