i find character counter text input a very useful extension, i also have the cc text area extension.

i added it to my extensions, i activated it, i created a new section, added the cc text input field but when i tried to save the section i get this error.

Fatal error: Class 'fieldInput' not found in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/symphony/extensions/charactercounter_textinput/fields/field.charactercounter_textinput.php on line 6

anyone know what is this? and how to solve it?

This field extends the core Input Field, but if you’ve not got a normal text Input Field in your section already then the required files won’t have been included.

The field.charactercounter_textinput.php file needs another include at the top:

require_once(TOOLKIT . '/fields/field.input.php');

I have opened this as a Issue #1 on Github.

Hi guys, yeah, I’ve fixed this issue on my own repo last week but I recently installed snow leopard which nuked my git installation, I’ll get that done this evening but in the interim nickdunn’s post will do the trick.

Character Counter: Text Input updated on Github, go get it! :)
