Proper keyboard layouts for fields on mobile

Often on the mobile when filling out a telephone field, or postcode, or credit card numbers, the keyboard layout will change to having only numbers, or numbers and dashes - whatever is actually required. An email field would have the @ symbol prominent.

It would be great to have this feature on all Hikashop fields. I tried to implement it using some code like pattern="[0-9]*" in the input, but it didn't work. Anyway, this should be a core feature.

Hi,

This could be a good thing indeed, we have to see how to improve this part for mobile devices and see if a good compatibility can be found. Because it don't seem to be working the same way for iOS or Android...

For the moment I suggest you to try this kind of things for numbers:

<input type="number" step="0.01">

Okay thanks for this. I added the above 'pattern' attribute via ReReplacer but it's a bit hard changing the type="text" to "number". Can I change these values somewhere in the back-end of hikashop? I can't find the appropriate 'view'

Hi,

That's because it's not managed by a view, but it's in the class "field" in "administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/field.php".
