Phone and Fax field formatting

Right you are! Do you know a script that can do it? Or we can convert the numbers in the backend? But the philosophy of drupal (and input filters) is to save values as they are entered and only format the output. Any other opinions on that?

Wouldn't support of a Phone field be better?

Integrate HTML5-ness to incorporate the markup.

It's important for on-screen keyboards.

As the phone field is still in dev mode, we decided not to use it for the first release. We will check how to integrate HTML5-ness to support on screen keybords, thanks for the link

Sorry, my comment was not clear. - It's not just about "phone field", but "input type": http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.number.html
This is quite a while feature of the HTML5.

See for example "input type": "NUMBERS AS SPINBOXES"

<input type="number"
       min="0"
       max="10"
       step="2"
       value="6">

"Reduce" the keyboard to the optimum:

During a new installation of version "7.x-2.x-dev" I got an error message while installing "Contact information":
"Please enter only numbers as phone number.".

My typed phone number was like "+49 0000 0000-00".

As shown on http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufnummer#Schreibweisen or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_conventions_for_writing_telephone_num... the phone number should be edited like "+49 30 12345-67".

It should be possible to put in "+" and "-" and space, too.

Yersterday, because of http://drupal.org/node/2049077 , I made a fresh install of version 7.x-2.0-alpha2+96-dev - Last updated: July 24, 2013 - 19:07 of http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/erpal-7.x-2.x-dev-core.zip. I had no problems on XAMPP 1.7.7 on windows 7 64-bit.

During the installation I have to type in the telephone number of my company.

On the install-screen there shoud be a help, how this field is formatted. My input was wrong. :-(

Thanks.

The Number Field for the fone numbers is something, we want to change in the future, so that we can add those numbers. A description about how the numers are now formated would be usefull. Going to have a look at it.

I am using the 7.x-2.x version of the Phone module in a project. It is not production ready yet and not supported by the maintainers. However it does a good job formatting the numbers. I didn't face any big problems using it, though I needed to do some little tweaks.

Please take a look at the new fields of the beta. We changed the fields.

there is no beta to look at yet
