dmCharCountPlugin turns your textarea into char countable field.

You can use this widget in booth Admin, Front and for your forms:

- To have this field in admin, for your field, add in schema.yml: `extra: charcount`

Example:

```
Testobj:
  actAs:
    DmSortable:
  columns:
    title:            { type: string(255), notnull: true }
    is_active:        { type: boolean, notnull: true, default: false }
    meta_keywords:    { type: string(255), notnull: true }
    meta_description: { type: string(255), notnull: true, extra: charcount }

```

In base form of your class the form widget will be used: `new sfWidgetFormDmCharCountTextarea()`.

You can configure this widget on several different ways, via `config.yml` and in constructor of the class passing the options.

Available options for configuration
-----------------------------------

[](#available-options-for-configuration)

- `allowed`, int, default 255, maximum allowed chars.
- `warning`, int or percentage, default is 10%, on which number of chars to warn about possible exceeding of maximum number of chars. You can enter exact number of chars when you want for user to be warn.
- `counterText`, string, default is 'Characters left:'. The string is translated before it is rendered.

In `config.yml` are default settings for the widget:

```
default:
  dmCharCountPlugin:
    all:
      allowed: 255
      warning: 10%
      counterText: 'Characters left:'

```

`all` is for all form widgets - the default configuration. You can add the name of the form field for extra configuration options.

Example for `config.yml`:

```
default:
  dmCharCountPlugin:
    all:
      allowed: 255
      warning: 10%
      counterText: 'Characters left:'
    my_form[my_field]:
      allowed: 500

```

Of course, you can pass options into constructor of the widget as well:

```
new sfWidgetFormDmCharCountTextarea(array(
    'allowed' => 255,
    'warning' => '10%',
    'counterText' => 'Characters left:'
))

```

Importance of configuration:
----------------------------

[](#importance-of-configuration)

1. Constructor
2. Config for specific form widget by its name
3. Config for all form widgets
