templating inside a generated form helps creating complex form layouts
template
An element type to reorganize your form layout.
It's a template (or a container) for displaying any other form elements grouped together. A great way to
- group together title - first name - lastname fields in one form row (by removing table tags from the rowlayout of these elements and display them in a template)
- build special layouts like this:
As this element only affects form layout, there's no returned value by $clonefish->getElementValues() or other getter methods.
<php
$config = Array(
'id' => Array(
'type' => 'template',
'value' =>
'<table>' .
'%newslettercheckbox%' .
'%confirmcheckbox%' .
'%marketingcheckbox%' .
'</table>' .
)
);
// This setting assumes that the elements called
// newslettercheckbox,
// confirmcheckbox,
// marketingcheckbox are already defined,
// and they have inherited the form 'element' layout setting
// of a tabular form layout, which is a table row.
?>
