CssFormBuilder
=============
A little plugin containing a form builder that uses css to produce
tableless, lined-up forms.
Features:
- Each field label is automatically added at the top of the input
control.
- Each input control appears at the right of the last control (unless
there is not enough space).
- To force a control in a new row, use <br /> before adding it.
- Use html option {:class=>''half-size'' } or
{:class=>''double-size'' }
for changing control size.
- Use class ''half-size'', ''normal-size'' or
''double-size'' to force select
tags size.
- Use <% fieldset tag ''legend'' %> [block] <% end
%> to produce fieldset
tags.
- By default, a fieldset expands to the right form margin; use html
option {:class=>''continue''} to compact the fieldset. Next
fieldset
will be added to the right.
- Support translation of labels and legends using _() function (by
first calling CssBuilder.translate_as_gettext) or String.t method
(by first calling CssBuilder.translate_as_globalize)
- Support both standard html form (css_form_for) and remote form
(remote_css_form_for)
- Also contains a show builder (css_show_for) that produces output that
looks like new/edit forms, using the same template file (_form.rhtml).
Fields values are displayed as html text, without form and input
objects.
Sample usage:
File app/views/customers/_form.rhtml:
<%= error_messages_for ''customer'' %>
<!--[form:customer]-->
<% fieldset_tag ''General data'' do %>
<%= @f.text_field :code, :class=>''half-size''
%>
<%= @f.text_field :name, :class=>''double-size''
%>
<br />
<%= @f.select(:bank_id, Bank.to_select, {:include_blank => true},
{:class=>''normal-size''} ) %>
<%= @f.check_box :option1 %>
<%= @f.hidden_field :field1 %>
<% end %>
<!--[eoform:customer]-->
File app/views/customers/new.rhtml:
<% css_form_for :customer, @customer, :url => { :action =>
"create" }
do |@f| %>
<%= render :partial => ''form'' %>
<%= submit_tag ''Create'' %>
<% end %>
File app/views/customers/edit.rhtml:
<% css_form_for :customer, @customer, :url => { :action =>
''update'',
:id => @customer } do |@f| %>
<%= render :partial=> ''form'' %>
<%= submit_tag ''Edit'' %>
<% end %>
File app/views/customers/show.rhtml:
<% css_show_for :customer, @customer, do |@f| %>
<%= render :partial=> ''form'' %>
<% end %>
