JEvents Search field triggers accessibility issue: "Ensures every form element has a label"

Hello,

You can override the layout and customise it as you see fit.

Many thanks

Tony,

Thanks for the suggestion to override the layout. We have done that and it works. Example:

https://irw.rutgers.edu/news-events/calendar/search.form/2019/07/26/

Here is how we fixed it:

1. Created these directories in our template folder:

        html/com_jevents

        html/com_jevents/flatplus

        html/com_jevents/flatplus/search

2. Created this file:

html/com_jevents/flatplus/search/form_body.php

3. The code of the above file is:

<?php 

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

?>



<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

    <tr>

        <td align="center" width="100%">

            <form action="<?php echo JRoute::_("index.php?option=".JEV_COM_COMPONENT."&task=search.results&Itemid=".$this->Itemid);?>" method="post" style="font-size:1;">

                <label for="keyword"><?php echo "Enter your search terms:";?></label>

                <input type="text" id="keyword" name="keyword" size="30" maxlength="50" class="inputbox" value="<?php echo $this->keyword;?>" />

                <label for="showpast"><?php echo JText::_("JEV_SHOW_PAST");?></label>

                <input type="checkbox" id="showpast" name="showpast" value="1" <?php echo JFactory::getApplication()->input->getInt('showpast',0)?'checked="checked"':''?> />

                <input class="button" type="submit" name="push" value="<?php echo JText::_('JEV_SEARCH_TITLE'); ?>" />

            </form>

        </td>

    </tr>

</table>

We recommend that the corresponding file:

components/com_jevents/views/flatplus/search/tmpl/form_body.php

be modified accordingly in future versions of JEvents Flatplus for conformance with accessibility standards.

Best regards,
Eddie

Tony,
Hi, in regards with this issue with flatplus. althouhg we can create an override, when will jevents become accessible so the extension can pass all of our accessibility tests?

thanks,
Laura
