    Hi devs,

    This is almost the last question on the Cookbook for a while :-)

    The chapter 'General form elements and functions' contains the following
    example:

    {{ camp_edit object="user"
    attribute="name"
    html_code="id=\"userNameInput\"" }}

    will output:

    <input type="text" name="f_user_name" size="50" maxlength="255"
    id="userNameInput">

    I don't see how that follows, the code does not specify the input field
    size. Also, it's not clear how the field name "f_user_name" is generated
    from object="user" and attribute="name".

    Cheers!

    Daniel

    The size and max length are hard-coded. The field "f_user_name" is needed in
    the form, the template engine reads this field from the form to perform the
    login operation. This is just an example of what is generated from this
    code, but the user doesn't care about this HTML.

    Hi Mugur, thanks for the clarification, I'll leave that example as it is.

    Cheers!
