I'm trying with DisplayGroups in my form. I'm sure it is a css understanding problem.
This is how my form looks like:
Now I would love to make it nicer:
How can I move the legend of the Displaygroup onto the border?
How can I make the distance smaller between my labels an the fields?
Here is my formclass:
$this->setName('Schwestern');
$this->setMethod('post');
$vorname=$this->addElement('TextBox','vorname',array(
'label' => 'Vorname:',
));
$nachname=$this->addElement('TextBox','nachname',array(
'label' => 'Nachname:',
));
$strasse=$this->addElement('TextBox','strasse',array(
'label' => 'Strasse:',
));
$plz=$this->addElement('TextBox','plz',array(
'label' => 'PLZ:',
));
$ort=$this->addElement('TextBox','ort',array(
'label' => 'Ort:',
));
$telefon=$this->addElement('TextBox','telefon',array(
'label' => 'Telefon:',
));
$handy=$this->addElement('TextBox','handy',array(
'label' => 'Handy:',
));
$email=$this->addElement('TextBox','email',array(
'label' => 'Email:',
));
$geburtsdatum = $this->addElement('DateTextBox','geburtsdatum',array(
'label' => 'Geburtsdatum:',
'datePattern' => 'dd-MM-yyyy'
));
$this->addDisplayGroup(array(
'vorname',
'nachname',
'strasse',
'plz',
'ort',
'geburtsdatum'
),'contact',array('legend' => 'Name und Anschrift'));
$contact = $this->getDisplayGroup('contact');
$contact->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
'Fieldset',
array('HtmlTag',array('tag'=>'div','style'=>'width:200px;;float:left;border-style:solid; margin:5px;padding:5px;border-width:1px;border-color: grey;'))
));
$this->addDisplayGroup(array('telefon','handy','email'), 'kontaktdaten',array('legend'=>'Kontaktdaten'));
$this->getDisplayGroup('kontaktdaten')->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
'Fieldset',
array('HtmlTag',array('tag'=>'div','style'=>'width:200px;;float:left;border-style:solid; margin:5px;padding:5px;border-width:1px;border-color: grey;'))
));
$this->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
array(array('data'=>'HtmlTag'),
array('tag'=>'table','cellspacing'=>'6')),
'DijitForm'
));
EDIT 22/10/2015:
HTML Output of this part of the form:
Before I tried to use the fieldsets I decorated my forms like this:
$vorname=$this->addElement('TextBox','vorname',array(
'label' => 'Vorname:',
));
$vorname->setDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
'Description',
'Errors',
array(array('data'=>'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'td')),
array('Label', array('tag' => 'td')),
array(array('row'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'tr'))
));
So can I use the decorators, or what would be the best solution to get this form nicer like I described above?

I am adding a consent checkbox to an existing form. I am not able to render the label to the right of the checkbox. What am I doing wrong?
Please note that the check box has created using $this->addElement( because the rest of the form was created this way.
I thank you in advance.
$this->addElement('checkbox', 'isUserConsent', array(
'options' => array(array('placement' => 'APPEND')),
'label' => 'Plz activate',
'validators' => array(
array('InArray', false, array(
'hay' => array(1),
'messages' => 'Please check the consent box'),
)
),
'decorators' => array('ViewHelper','Errors','Label'),
));
The default is to prepend the label, but you can change this by modifying the decorator's 'placement' option:
$this->getElement('isUserConsent')->getDecorator('label')->setOption('placement', 'append');
Edit: I never use this syntax for decorators but it should be something like this:
$this->addElement('checkbox', 'isUserConsent', array(
'options' => array(array('placement' => 'APPEND')),
'label' => 'Plz activate',
'validators' => array(
array('InArray', false, array(
'hay' => array(1),
'messages' => 'Please check the consent box'),
)
),
'decorators' => array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
'Label' => array(
'placement' => 'append'
)
),
));
This is the code for rendering lable of a form element.
$this->form->name->renderLabel() ;
I have the following piece of code,
Under myClass , i have set decorators variable,
public $testDecorators = array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
array('Description', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => '', 'placement' => 'append')),
array(array('data' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'itemR')),
array('Label', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'itemL')
),
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'itemcontent'))
);
Under CreateForm function,
....
$cover_image = new Zend_Form_Element_File('cover_test', array(
'label' => 'Cover Test:',
'value' => '',
'class' => 'test',
'tabindex' => '5',
'required' => false,
'filters' => array('StringTrim'),
'decorators' => $this->testDecorators,
));
....
When i use this decorators, nothing is displaying in my form, if commented that 'decorators' => $this->testDecorators, form is coming fine with default dd tag, Kindly help me
The file element must include the 'File' decorator, usually in place of the ViewHelper decorator. So try this instead:
public $testDecorators = array(
'File',
'Errors',
array('Description', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => '', 'placement' => 'append')),
array(array('data' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'itemR')),
array('Label', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'itemL'),
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'itemcontent'))
);
Have you looked at what $cover_image->getDecorators() shows?
Also, is this one in the middle correct:
array(array('data' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'itemR')),
should it not be:
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'itemR')),
as the last one is?
i currently set my default decorators for my Zend_Form using a class extending from Zend_Form ...
class Application_Form_Abstract extends Zend_Form {
...
function loadDefaultDecorators() {
if ($this->loadDefaultDecoratorsIsDisabled()) {
return $this;
}
// ... for elements
$decorators = $this->_elementDecorators;
if (empty($decorators)) {
$this->setElementDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
array('Description', array('tag' => 'p', 'escape' => false)),
'Label',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'p'))
));
but i soon realize that that way, i cannot define specific element decorators like
$this->addElement('textarea', 'bio', array(
'decorators' => array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
array('Description', array('tag' => 'p', 'escape' => false)),
'Label',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'p')),
new Application_Form_Decorator_WmdPreview,
)
));
as they will be over-written by my custom loadDefaultDecorators() function. i wonder if there is any way i can set default decorators for element only if they have no set decorators
You can disable the default decorator for 'bio' element by adding a call to setDisableLoadDefaultDecorators()
$this->addElement('textarea', 'bio', array(
'disableLoadDefaultDecorators' => true,
'decorators' => array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
array('Description', array('tag' => 'p', 'escape' => false)),
'Label',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'p')),
new Application_Form_Decorator_WmdPreview,
)
));
Also to you save you a headache, displaygroups cannot have the same name as any element that they contain
I'm aming to make use of the ZendX_JQuery dialogContainer view helper, in order to produce a modal window, were users can input specified information(for example send a message). I'm trying to use the dialogContainer view helper in this fashion.
First of, include the ZendX library in the applications library folder.
Secondly, include the following row in the initViewHelper method within the Bootstrap.php file
"$view->addHelperPath('ZendX/JQuery/View/Helper/', 'ZendX_JQuery_View_Helper');"
third, adding the following conditional enabling of js in the layout.phtml
"<?php if($this->jQuery()->isEnabled()){
$this->jQuery()->setLocalPath($this->baseUrl()
.'/js/jquery/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js')
->setUiLocalPath($this->baseUrl()
.'/js/jquery/js/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js')
->addStylesheet($this->baseUrl()
.'/js/jquery/css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.css');
echo $this->jQuery();
}
?>"
fourth, creating my Application_Form_JQueryForm extending ZendX_JQuery_Form
"<?php
class Application_Form_JQueryForm extends ZendX_JQuery_Form
{
private $form;
public function init()
{
$this->form = $this->setAction(Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getBaseUrl() . '/index/index')
->setMethod('post');
$this->form->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
'Form',
array ('DialogContainer', array(
'id' => 'tabContainer',
'style' => 'width: 600px;',
'title' => 'Send a private message to Kalle',
'JQueryParams' => array(
'tabPosition' => 'top',
),
)),
));
$topic = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('topic');
$topic->setValue('topic')
->setRequired(true)
->setValidators(array('validators' => array(
'validator' => 'StringLength',
'options' => array(1,15)
)))
->setDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
'Description',
'Errors',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dl'))));
$textarea = new Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('textarea');
$textarea->setValue('post a comment')
->setAttribs(array(
'rows' => 4,
'cols' => 20
))
->setRequired(true)
->setValidators(array('validators' => array(
'validator' => 'StringLength',
'options' => array(1,15)
)))
->setDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
'Description',
'Errors',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dl'))));
$submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('submit');
$submit->setLabel('Send your comment')
->setDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
'Description',
'Errors',
array('Description', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => 'span')),
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dl'))))
->setDescription('or Cancel');
$this->form->addElements(array($topic, $textarea, $submit));
}
}"
This form is then instanciated in the controllers action method, and called in the view.
And so to the problem of mine, no matter what i try, in order to for instance set, the width of the dialogContainer or any other parameter (color, css, height, so on and so forth), this being in the JQueryForm's setDecorator part for the form, i can't seem to get any change whatsoever in the resulting modal when called in the view, any help in the proper direction would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance, Kalle Johansson
A late answer for sure - but lots of views - so figured I would answer. The parameters you want to set for the modal should be set from the JQueryParams array. So - for example:
$this->form->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
'Form',
array ('DialogContainer', array(
'id' => 'tabContainer',
'style' => 'width: 600px;',
'title' => 'Send a private message to Kalle',
'JQueryParams' => array(
'tabPosition' => 'top',
'width' => '600',
'height' => '450'
),
)),
));
You can find these param options on the jQuery UI site.

i created a form that it decorates as table form
its my code for decorates
$this->setElementDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors'
array(array('data'=>'HtmlTag'),
array('tag'=>'td','class'=>'element')),
array('Label',array('tag'=>'td')),
array(array('row'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'tr')),
));
$this->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
array('HtmlTag',array('tag'=>'table')),
'Form'
));
it works correctly,
now i wana errors message decorates too
what do i change my code?
Here is a rather complex way of doing it. I have added classes to the decorators too so you can style them unlike your example.
// To be assigned at the beginning of your form class.
public $elementDecorators = array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
array(array('data' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'td', 'class' => 'col2')),
array('Label', array('tag' => 'td','class'=>'taR')),
array(array('row' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'tr','class' => 'rowA')),
);
$this->addElement('ValidationTextBox', 'name', array(
'decorators' => $this->elementDecorators,
'validators' => array(
array('regex', false,'/^[a-zA-Z ]+$/')
),
'label' => $this->translator->translate ( 'Name' ) . ' : ',
'required' => true,
'trim' => true,
'propercase' => true,
'regExp' => '[a-zA-Z ]+',
'invalidMessage' => $this->translator->translate ( 'Name - Must be alpha numeric.' )
)
);
If you want to show all erros grouped in one place you should remove the Error decorator from each element and then add to you form the formErrors decorator. Here is an example from How to remove Zend Form error messages?
$form->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
new Zend_Form_Decorator_FormErrors(array
(
'ignoreSubForms' => true,
'markupElementLabelEnd' => '</b>',
'markupElementLabelStart' => '<b>',
'markupListEnd' => '</div>',
'markupListItemEnd' => '</span>',
'markupListItemStart' => '<span>',
'markupListStart' => '<div id="Form_Errors">'
)
),
'Form'
));
