Creating a customized "reduced" report form?


#1

I wish to have my report form include (in this order):

category

subject

and the other fields bellow subject


I want to remove the title field. And I want subject to accept no input.


This is in order to have a checkin like feature, but one that includes categories.


How might I go about creating such a report form?

(one for both the website and the smartphone apps)


Thanks.

The report submission page is driven by your theme's files. eg

Code:
themes/default/views/reports/submit.php
To move Category up top, it seems you can grab the entire
that begins around line 106 (of the default theme):

Code:

<?php echo Kohana::lang('ui_main.reports_categories'); ?> ...


and move it to line 48 just above:


Code:

<?php echo Kohana::lang('ui_main.reports_title'); ?>...


This should put the categories at the top of the page (play around with it ... no guarantee)


As for making the title not-required... it seems like that is a more core Ushahidi setting. Since title is used in displaying results around the site, it would lead to unexpected results. It seems you might have better luck using the title as the "meat" of the report...

Hi LBell,

Thank you for the reply :)

I think it is a great idea.


I guess the next step will be how possible to change the required length of the "content"?


Thanks again :)
