Silverstripe FieldCounter

Shows a field counter on specified fields in the SilverStripe CMS

Usage

To add the field counter to a Silverstripe field in the CMS you need to add:

TextField::('myfield')->setAttribute('data-fieldcounter', 140);

If you require different limits change the 140.
Note: Adding this to a TextareaField prevents new lines.

If you want to prevent more text than your limit, use the built in HTML attribute maxlength e.g.

TextField::('myfield')->setAttribute('maxlength', 140);
