Excuse if this is not the right forum to post this, but I am trying to modify a form that came with a module and have got a bit stuck.

I can see how I can tweak the language file to change the form labels and have found a 'submit.php' where I can remove unwanted fields (e.g. I have successfully removed the 'state' field as this is a non-US website). However, I really need to add a textarea field - but *without* the DHTML editor and image manager buttons. It is just for a simple list, e.g.

Item one
item two
etc...

I found this line in the submit.php file which I gather creates a DHTML text area:

Can anyone tell me how I could add a non-DHTML textarea, or point me at a suitable FAQ for hackers & tinkerers? I was thinking of utilising my redundant 'state' field definition so the back-end form tied in with the one submitted by the user, but maybe it isn't quite as simple as that.

Or should I just stick to drinking beer?

Maybe this:

from here:

will help

Thx stefan88. I'll try to add the field based on the info in those links.

I just plucked up courage to mess with this and pleased to report that simply replacing:

with:

seems to do the job, in the application I am modifying anyway. Users can still use xoops-code to format text.

Why can't we have a DHTML editor like WordPress?
