Upload form: additional explanations below the textfields

[AK_CCM]

Hello all,

our mushroom club manages pictures with CPG in the future. For that I want to give the uploaders some little instructions how to arrange the content in the file-information-textfields of the upload form as is to be seen at the screenshot. I think that the changes are to be made in upload.php, but I don't know, how I can do this.

Could anyone help me please, to insert the explanations below the textfields?

Thanks before!

Regards, AK

Edit upload.php

Add

Code Select Expand


function form_textfield_desc($text) {
    echo <<<EOT
        <tr>
                <td class="tableb">
                        &nbsp;
                </td>
                <td class="tableb" colspan="2">
                        $text
                </td>
        </tr>

EOT;
}


just before

Code Select Expand


// The form statement creation function. Takes a non-array element form $data as its argument.
function form_statement($text) {


then Add

Code Select Expand


                case 5 :
                    form_textfield_desc($element[0]);
                    break;


just before

Code Select Expand


                // If the type is not present, kill the script.
                default:
                    cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_upload_php['reg_instr_1'], __FILE__, __LINE__);


then Add

Code Select Expand


array("description for pic title", "", 5),


just before

Code Select Expand


array($captionLabel, 'caption', 3, $CONFIG['max_img_desc_length'], (isset($iptc['Caption'])) ? $iptc['Caption'] : ''),


and lastly Replace

Code Select Expand


    if(!empty($CONFIG['user_field1_name'])) {
        $form_array[] = array($CONFIG['user_field1_name'], 'user1', 0, 255, 1);
    }


with

Code Select Expand


    if(!empty($CONFIG['user_field1_name'])) {
        $form_array[] = array($CONFIG['user_field1_name'], 'user1', 0, 255, 1);
        $form_array[] = array("description for first user field", "", 5);
    }


There are 4 blocks for 4 user fields. You can add

Code Select Expand


$form_array[] = array("description for first user field", "", 5);

in all 4 blocks to show descriptions for all 4 user fields.

Also change the descriptions as per you need in above code. The text strings can also go in lang file if you intend to use more than one language.
