(Solved) Default title on new item form...how? was created by alitogata

Hello,

Is there any way since I can't get rid of title in Item Creation Form (frontend) to at least have a default value through triggering (e.g. item id) when someone creates an article?

The triggering shows but only after form is saved and won't let me save any form without putting a title and there is no default option like in other fields

at first you can override form.php in your template

Hello

every content type have parameters to add JS to the item form:

for example, the following code checks if the form field is empty, and if it is, then it adds some default text:

Code:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
	if (jQuery('#jform_title').val() == '') {
	  jQuery('#jform_title').val('This is the default title');
	}
});

--> , you may try[/to use language stringsu]:

1. add your index.php:

Code:

JText::script("MY_DEFAULT_TITLE", true);

2. Add the language "MY_DEFAULT_TITLE" string via Joomla language overrides manager (google this to find how to use it)

3.
replace line:

Code:

jQuery('#jform_title').val('This is the default title');

with:

Code:

jQuery('#jform_title').val(Joomla.JText._('MY_DEFAULT_TITLE'));

As I am way more than a newbie on this :lol:

I tried to add the code

Code:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
   if (jQuery('#jform_title').val() == '') {
     jQuery('#jform_title').val('This is the default title');
   }
});

on one of my types to the field "Add JS to edit form" (tried on all Frontend, Backend, Frontend and Backend)but when I save the type it keeps only the following code:

Code:
