Working on a bunch of forms at the moment and I'm finding that I want to be able to split a form into sections with some text in between. Is there a Zend_Form_Element that simply allows me to place some text mixed in with my form (not as a label or description linked to an individual input)?
Thanks!
I think there's not.
Although, you can do one of the following things:
If the text inbetween is more like a title, you can group them in display groups.
If you want to put a lot of text then you'll have to write your own custom form element.
If you choose the second option beware of your form decorations. If you want the text to be from side to side of the page (ie. without the labels space to the left and not aligned to the rest of the input forms) you'll probably have to disable default decorators and set new ones.

I have a typo3 server and using the mask extension. When an editor creates a new mask element, there isnt a title in the list view. Its always "no title":
I checked the database and found the titles in the db in the field: tt_content.header but no way to set them automatically oder manually by an editor. Anyone have an idea how the title can be set automatically? Oder manually by an editor?
ext:mask has the option to reuse existing fields of tt_content for new kinds of content elements (CEs). use it to get the bonus of better interoperability with TYPO3.
TYPO3 has a logic how to show records (content elements) in the backend. one of it is the usage of the fields header and description. if you reuse these fields your CEs will look like others automatically.
If you use other fields you need to declare your fields for usage AND in case you change the kind of a CE from your kind to e.g. TEXT with Media the header stays.
Especially header is handled in the layout/partial of FSC or CSC global for any kind of CE. if the handling/rendering is changed (e.g. special layout) in an installation your CEs need special effort if they have their own building of the header.
Try to use the same fields as existing CEs and your life can be easier.
I'm having the same issue, but I found a way around it for the meantime. I edit the mask element and chenge its type to something elseโlike Textโwhere I can set the title. After typing the title I save it, then change back to mask element and save again. This works by me without losing the content of the mask element. This way I can see the title in typo3 backend when I view as list or page or add content from another page. As I said, it doesn't solve the problem, but can help until there is a proper solution.
EDIT
I've just found another solution. You can add the title field to en existing mask element. To do it, go to ADMIN TOOLS > Mask, click your mask element to edit it. Add a new item by dragging the ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด item (the one on top of the list of available items) to the right where your items are. Then in General under ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ dropdown choose an ๐๐
๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด named:
๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ: (๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ)
Save, close, go to your page to add your title. This still doesn't add the title field automatically to all mask elements, but it is a step forward.
If anywhere, you should be able to set a static title automatically in your page tsconfig. You could to something like
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.elements.[title of your mask element].tt_content_defValues {
header = My Awesome title
}
Personally, I usually give every mask element a header field and ask content editors to fill it in.

Hope, this helps.
I have created a large Access Form that spans the form header, all of the detail section 22" and form footer. When viewing the form it will not allow scrolling.
I have copied elements into a fresh database and a new form with the same results. I can send a zip file with this single form to anyone interested in helping.
Ensure that you have the Scroll Bars property set to Both or Vertical Only in the Form Properties:
Seems I figured it out. My Form Header Section was too long. Seems once it gets past 10" it disables the scroll bar on my screen as I was trying to use it improperly to extend the length of my form which is limited to just the 22" . Makes sense that the Header section is not designed to be scrolled, but I had some large images with text boxes between them. Just met a limit of Access
I am working on a SAPUI5 app in which we do not want to add custom css to. Currently we are displaying text in a form which does not have the same height and styling as the inputs.
I'd prefer to change the text to an input with a pre-filled value so everything in the form has consistent styling but I need to differentiate that this should be treated as text.
The easiest way to do this is to remove the border but I cannot find away of doing this without creating custom css.
I tried borderDesign="None" but this does not affect inputs.
The other day I stumbled on the Pure project - a set of CSS modules released by the YUI team. I wanted to standardize the forms across my website and I liked the look of their forms module. Especially the style of form they call the Aligned Form. I added the CSS to my site and added the needed styles to my form and it all worked well except for my group of radio buttons. In the Aligned Form each input has a label on the left side and the input to the right of it's label. But individual Radio Buttons have individual labels - which get styled to the right of the button. What I'm looking for is a way to add an overall label for the group of buttons that is styled to the left and centered.
I did find a workaround, but I'm looking more for a dedicate "Pure" way of doing it.
My workaround was to include the radios within a fieldset, and use the legend of the fieldset as the label for the radio group.
I'd enjoy hearing from others who work with Pure Aligned Forms to see how you handled this.
Your question is a little vague I think. If what you are trying to achieve is something like this,
Label
radio
radio
radio
then the way you did it (what you call your "workaround") is actually the best way to do this. Fieldsets are meant for grouping items together and you can use the legend as the label.
However, if you are trying to do something like this,
radio
Label radio
radio
then you are going to want to use floating divs (one to hold your label and another to group your radio buttons).
I can't really get more specific without knowing what your code looks like and what you are specifically going for...
drupal_render($form) works fine for my purposes in general, but there are cases where I'd like a form to have a different layout style
(specifically I'd like all the fields and submit button to appear in one horizontal row)
Is there a way to specify a different rendering for a specific form, and leave the rest with the default rendering for the theme?
If it's the layout you want to change, most likely, you'd want to change the CSS, not the markup.
If you want to display all the fields and submit button in a row, you could change them into blocks and "float: left;" them.
