Shows a field counter on specified fields in the SilverStripe CMS
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);SilverStripe 3
