I am using deform 2 together with Bootstrap 3, to render some forms, and I want to create a Horizontal form as shown here, but all of the examples on the demo-site, is not examples of horizontal forms( with the label next to the input element).
I have tried using form_class="form-horizontal"
, and bootstrap_form_style="form-horizontal"
(deform_bootstrap). When using the above, it does add the class form-horizontal
, however I dont just want to add a class to the form element.
How do I add the rest of the class names to the rest of the form to make it a horizontal form as is on the the bootstrap site?
I figured it out, in the deform templates(I over write them) I did:
mapping_item.pt:
<div tal:define="error_class error_class|field.widget.error_class;
description description|field.description;
title title|field.title;
oid oid|field.oid;
hidden hidden|field.widget.hidden;
category category|field.widget.category;
structural hidden or category == 'structural';
required required|field.required;"
class="form-group ${field.error and 'has-error' or ''} ${field.widget.item_css_class or ''}"
title="${description}"
id="item-${oid}"
tal:omit-tag="structural"
i18n:domain="deform">
<!-- <div class="col-sm-12"> -->
<label for="${oid}"
class="control-label col-sm-3 col-md-3 ${required and 'required' or ''}"
tal:condition="not structural"
id="req-${oid}"
>
${title}
</label>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-9">
<div tal:define="input_prepend field.widget.input_prepend | None;
input_append field.widget.input_append | None"
tal:omit-tag="not (input_prepend or input_append)"
class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"
tal:condition="input_prepend">${input_prepend}</span
><span tal:replace="structure field.serialize(cstruct).strip()"
/><span class="input-group-addon"
tal:condition="input_append">${input_append}</span>
</div>
<p class="help-block"
tal:define="errstr 'error-%s' % field.oid"
tal:repeat="msg field.error.messages()"
i18n:translate=""
tal:attributes="id repeat.msg.index==0 and errstr or
('%s-%s' % (errstr, repeat.msg.index))"
tal:condition="field.error and not field.widget.hidden and not field.typ.__class__.__name__=='Mapping'">
${msg}
</p>
<p tal:condition="field.description and not field.widget.hidden"
class="help-block" >
${field.description}
</p>
</div>
</div>
Notice in the label
I added col-sm-3 col-md-3
Also I added a <div>
with a class: class="col-sm-9 col-md-9"
This makes the item i.e. label + input 'horizontal'(displays in the same line):
In form.pt
, in the form tag I added:
class="deform ${field.bootstrap_form_style | 'form-horizontal'}
I also do when define the form layout:
agent = colander.SchemaNode(
colander.String(),
validator=agent_validator,
widget=widget.AutocompleteInputWidget(
size=40,
style="width: 300px",
min_length=3,
values=url,
css_class="form-control"
),
title="Agent*")
I hope this is helpful.
