Searching a clean/simpler form template

Hi

I spent more than 8 hours uncluttering the default form template.

there is a tabberscript, tags, languages, very deep styling with legends, fieldsets, user permisssions etcetera by default in the theme. why?

it would be really cool if you could provide a clean theme with only the obligatory fields. So we could start doing our own styling without spending hours uncluttering the hardcoded style you chose. its impossible without knowing the whole script to unclutter the form template in decent time.

Files to be found:
components/com_flexicontent/views/items/tmpl/form.php
copy them to:
templates/mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/items/form.php

thanks for any help
Maybe we could include from nowon a theme form_raw.php within
components/com_flexicontent/views/items/tmpl/form.php

what do you think?
Regards and thanks

Hello

1. the form is built to avoid need for build the form yourself

and provide validation and styling that will work in frontend with different frontend extensions and different joomla templates

(and you can add custom HTML(groupmarker) and custom JS/CSS (see below) without creating a form override)



2. please don't forget that this is a form that is meant to edit the Content Records of com_content !!

3. there are parameters to customize the frontend item form in Component settings , under TAB "item form"
(you can override most of these setting per content Type)
(you can also add custom JS and custom CSS which is different per content type)

4. use group marker field:
Using the group marker field, to add field group and tab set in your item forms

Hi ggppdk

Thanks for answering.

Really?

and you can add custom HTML(groupmarker) and custom JS/CSS (see below) without creating a form override.use group marker field.

Than how can we delete the default fieldset you did with "Categories/Tags", "Languages" and "Manage Permissions"?

And how can we delete the tabs "Basic" and "Content Type:..."? Hoooow ?

How can we do this without a form override ggppdk?

Thanks for your tyme

Hello

these are displayed because they are a part of joomla article system that we extend !

about hiding,

1. we added CSS class to the containers for this purpose.

- e.g. if you only have one language, then just use CSS to hide the language

- same for permissions, you can use CSS

- also for categories you can force submitting to a specific category(ies)

also if you disable multi-category permission and if you disable tags the basic TAB will be removed

also with some CSS skill you manage to hide the first TAB title and first TAB container

anyway if you feel more comfortable then create a joomla template override for form.php

Regards

Please could you give me some more information on how to hide the language and permissions on the item submission form using CSS.

Specifically, which file must I modify and what lines of code must I enter?

Thanks very much for your help.
