New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

The Display element is used to display (normally) fixed text. It. It simply displays the element label (if set to show) and the "Default" text without any associated input field.
Settings
Tip: If you need HTML formatted text in the label then go to Fabrik "Options" -> Forms and select 'yes' for the 'Use WYSIWYG editor for element labels' option (Attention: this will enable a WYSIWYG editor field for the labels of ALL Elements).
Options:
- Default - The text to populate the element with. If the eval option is selected then this should contain a PHP statement. It's shown in new and in existing records (never pulled from the database).
Caution: If the display field is part of a repeating group, Placeholders will not work as expected in evals. The placeholder will return an array with the values of all rows and not just the value of the current row.
As an alternative the calc element may be used. - Eval - evaluate the default value as a PHP function. Element default examples
- Show label - Should the form show the label as well as the display text
