Password field - where the div code is located?

By trk_ on 13 Sep 2016 at 22:56 UTC

Please, where the HTML is located?

<div class="form-item form-type-password form-item-pass">
  <label class="element-invisible" for="edit-pass--3">Password <span class="form-required" title="This field is required.">*</span></label>
 <input placeholder="Password" id="edit-pass--3" name="pass" size="15" maxlength="128" class="form-text required" type="password">
</div>

I need to insert a link a href after the password field:

<input placeholder="Password" id="edit-pass--3" name="pass" size="15" maxlength="128" class="form-text required" type="password"><a href="password-reset">Password reset</a>

and I do not understand where it is located.
I look at user.module file but can not see it there.

Thank you

may aid to understand what you are trying to do as hacking user.module may not be the way you want to interact.

I would like to insert a link

trk_ commented 14 September 2016 at 00:06

I would like to insert a link. Nothing more.

I think this is possible to hard code in?
But I can not find the place (file) where it should be done.

Thank you :)

hacking core/contrib files is always possible. the question should be is it warranted. In your situation (most situations) hacking core/contrib files isn't warranted as one can utilize hooks and preprocessing function interact with core. Hacking core files creates a tedious update/upgrade process for no reason.

Sure, I know this situation.

Sure, I know this situation.
But I work this way many years.

You need to implement hook

Jaypan commented 13 September 2016 at 23:44

You need to implement hook_form_alter() and add your link as a #markup element to that.

I know the above does not make sense to you, so you'll need to spend some time learning how Drupal hooks work and module development works: https://www.drupal.org/documentation/develop

Jaypan, thank you but it is

trk_ commented 14 September 2016 at 00:08

Jaypan, thank you but it is not what I need.

I have this code:

trk_ commented 14 September 2016 at 00:33

I have this code:

function bartik_form_alter( &$form, &$form_state, $form_id )
{
        if($form_id == 'user_login_block')
    {
        $form['links']['#markup'] = '';
    }
    if (in_array( $form_id, array( 'user_login', 'user_login_block', 'user_register_form')))
    {
        $form['name']['#attributes']['placeholder'] = t( 'Username' );
        $form['pass']['#attributes']['placeholder'] = t( 'Password' );
		$form['account']['name']['#attributes']['placeholder'] = t( 'Pick a username' );
		$form['account']['pass']['#attributes']['placeholder'] = t( 'Create a password' );
		$form['name']['#title_display'] = 'invisible';
		$form['pass']['#title_display'] = 'invisible';
		$form['account']['name']['#title_display'] = 'invisible';
		$form['account']['pass']['#title_display'] = 'invisible';
		$form['account']['pass']['#description'] = '';
		$form['account']['name']['#description'] = '';
    }
}

If I place a link in

trk_ commented 14 September 2016 at 00:44

If I place a link in

    {
        $form['links']['#markup'] = '<a href="reset-password">Reset password</a>';
    }

then it is placed in wrong place, out off the div

<div class="form-item form-type-password form-item-pass">
  <label class="element-invisible" for="edit-pass--3">Password <span class="form-required" title="This field is required.">*</span></label>
 <input placeholder="Password" id="edit-pass--3" name="pass" size="15" maxlength="128" class="form-text required" type="password">
</div>

<a href="reset-password">Reset password</a>

It should be inside the div:

<div class="form-item form-type-password form-item-pass">
  <label class="element-invisible" for="edit-pass--3">Password <span class="form-required" title="This field is required.">*</span></label>
 <input placeholder="Password" id="edit-pass--3" name="pass" size="15" maxlength="128" class="form-text required" type="password">

<a href="reset-password">Reset password</a>
</div>

form should be altered

nitin.k commented 14 September 2016 at 07:47

You need to use hook_form_BASE_FORM_ID_alter() function. Put the below function in template.php


/**
 * Implements hook_form_BASE_FORM_ID_alter().
 */
function themename_form_user_login_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {

  // Method - 1

  $form['pass']['#prefix'] = '<div class="pass_wrapper">';
  $form['pass']['#suffix'] = '</div><a href="#">Click the link ..</a><h1>';

// Method - 2
  $markup = l(t('Link'), '#', array('attributes' => array('title' => t('Link'))));
  $markup = '<div class="clearfix">' . $markup . '</div>';
  $form['links']['#markup'] = $markup;
}

Thank you but your code does

trk_ commented 14 September 2016 at 18:55

Thank you but your code does not work the way I need.

I need to add a link after the password input (inside div wrapper) and your code adds a link outside of it:

<input></div><a>link</a>

Should be:

<input><a>link</a></div>

function bartik_form_user

trk_ commented 14 September 2016 at 19:12

This does not work

function bartik_form_user_login_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {

  $form['pass']['#prefix'] = '<div class="pass_wrapper">';
  $form['pass']['#suffix'] = '<a href="#">link</a></div>';

}

This adds a link outside of the password input div wrapper.
Should be inside.

This code does not change my login box it should be.
It changes only admins login at user/login - I do not need it.

Thank you for help

If you need it to be inside,

Jaypan commented 14 September 2016 at 23:13

If you need it to be inside, you'll need to instead override theme_password() in your theme.

Too difficult to understand

trk_ commented 15 September 2016 at 00:51

Too difficult to understand for me.

Very simple question - where is the place I could directly put my link in. (without any hook codings - I do not need this additional problem)

Thank you

Thank you very much

trk_ commented 15 September 2016 at 00:55

Thank you very much

I do understand now - it is form.inc file.
This is exactly what I need

If that worked for you, that

Jaypan commented 15 September 2016 at 02:14

If that worked for you, that's great.

For anyone else who may stumble across this thread however, this is one of the biggest no-no's in Drupal - shouldn't hack core files. Your changes will be overwritten on the next core update, or you'll have to remember to go in and make the change again.
