Uppercase field input

[dwr]

Hi. I'm a new user but up and running. I have a requirement to force uppercase input on certain fields (e.g. Customer Code, Post Code, etc). I'm surprised there is no tick box available against a field to force uppercase. How can I convert key strokes to uppercase?

Cheers
Dave

Hello Dave,
at the moment there is no built-in function to force uppercase.

You can, however, check if the input is uppercase using a custom validation function.

You can also force a conversion to uppercase before the actual insertion working on the insert_record() function in /include/business_logic.php (you have to hack the code, though). Another option is probably the use of a MySQL trigger to launch before insertion.

Best,

Thank you for the swift response.

I'll investigate and try the options you've suggested. Shame though as it's a relatively easy option to add. I use it in manually coded PHP solutions.
