Hi Steve,

is there an easy way to have the fields of one table in two columns in view/edit mode?

I see that the fields are listed in a table and every field is enclosed by an own div-Tag.

It seems to be quite a bit of work to do changing the plone.css which I don’t want if I don’t need it because it seems to be very perfect.

Can I do changes somewhere else to have a two column view / edit mode?

And why are all the textfields of database rendered as <td colspan=”2” …

as I saw in Dataface_QuickForm_element.html?

Which templates do I have to change to get the desired two-column layout without destroying something else?

Thank you

Markus

There are 2 templates that deal with form rendering.

You’ll probably want to override the second one if you want to make changes across the board.

For doing this I have add to Dataface_Form_Section_Template.html

from line 11

Code: Select all: {foreach from=$elements item=element name=CicloPrincipale} {* #04 - Render Element ------------------------------ This section is used to render an element to be displayed. *} {block name="before_`$element.field.name`_row" table=$element.field.tablename} {define_slot name="`$element.field.name`_row" table=$element.field.tablename} {if $smarty.foreach.CicloPrincipale.iteration % 2 == 1} <tr id="{$element.field.name}_form_row" > {/if}

and at line 176

Code: Select all: {if $smarty.foreach.CicloPrincipale.iteration % 2 == 0} </tr> {/if}

Add name for main cicle and if for put or not put tr tag, for more of two column

change % 2 to % number of column…

Sorry for my wast ItalianEnglish!!
