I want to add a 'placeholder' attribute to the search input field (without using javascript), but I cannot seem to get this filter, located in custom.php, to take:
/*
Filtering Omeka's Simple Search function to display default message
Uses HTML5 'placeholder' attribute
Browser support will vary
*/
add_filter('simple_search','my_simple_search');
function my_simple_search($html,$buttonText = "Search", $formProperties=array('id'=>'simple-search'), $uri = null)
{
// Always post the 'items/browse' page by default (though can be overridden).
if (!$uri) {
$uri = uri('items/browse');
}
$searchQuery = array_key_exists('search', $_GET) ? $_GET['search'] : '';
$formProperties['action'] = $uri;
$formProperties['method'] = 'get';
$html = '<form ' . _tag_attributes($formProperties) . '>' . "\n";
$html .= '<fieldset>' . "\n\n";
$html .= __v()->formText('search', $searchQuery, array('name'=>'textinput','class'=>'textinput','placeholder'=>'Login to Search Items'));
$html .= __v()->formSubmit('submit_search', $buttonText);
$html .= '</fieldset>' . "\n\n";
// add hidden fields for the get parameters passed in uri
$parsedUri = parse_url($uri);
if (array_key_exists('query', $parsedUri)) {
parse_str($parsedUri['query'], $getParams);
foreach($getParams as $getParamName => $getParamValue) {
$html .= __v()->formHidden($getParamName, $getParamValue);
}
}
$html .= '</form>';
return $html;
}I also tried removing all but the $html vars, but I think the issue is that the filter is just not registering at all for some reason.
What's missing here?
Thanks -- E
