RE: [PEAR] FormBuilder subforms

That's not how they appear on my forms. The processing works, ie the div is displayed and new records are created but the fields are grouped one after another with only the select field's label displayed. Refer DB\DataObject\FormBuilder\QuickForm.php function &_createSelectBox <code> if (isset($links[$fieldName])) { list($table,) = explode(':', $links[$fieldName]); require_once('DB/DataObject/FormBuilder/QuickForm/SubFormFB.php'); $element->addOption($this->linkNewValueText, $this->linkNewValueText); $element->updateAttributes(array('onchange' => 'db_do_fb_'.$this->_fb->getFieldName($fieldName).'__subForm_display(this)')) ; $element->updateAttributes(array('id' => $element->getName())); $this->_prepareForLinkNewValue($fieldName, $table); $subFormElement =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement($this->_getQFType('subForm'), $this->_fb->getFieldName($fieldName).'__subForm', '', $this->_linkNewValueForms[$fieldName]); $subFormElement->setPreValidationCallback(array(&$subFormElement, 'preValidationCallback')); $subFormElement->linkNewValueText = $this->linkNewValueText; $subFormElement->selectName = $this->_fb->getFieldName($fieldName); $el =& $this->_form->addElement('hidden', $this->_fb->getFieldName($fieldName).'__subForm__displayed'); $el->updateAttributes(array('id' => $el->getName())); $element =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('group', $this->_fb->getFieldName($fieldName), $this->_fb->getFieldLabel($fieldName), array($element, $subFormElement), '<br/>', false); } } } return $element; </code> The HTML returned is an unformatted group element. The originating form is rendered by Array_Smarty however the SubForm should be rendered directly toHTML in the div and appear as a standard FB form. It doesn't. Do you have any suggestions for troubleshooting this problem?

SubForms, such as those for linkNewValue, normally have the same formatting as a normal form, with all of their own labels. For an example, see the following link and choose "--New Value--" for Genre. http://pear.reversefold.com/EditRecord.html SubForms are not groups; they're SubForms. They only have groups within them if that's the way you set up that DO's form. If you want to limit the fields in a FormBuilder form you do it the same way whether or not it's a form or a SubForm, you set the options in the DO class (such as fieldsToRender). If want it different when it's a SubForm use the prepareLinkedDataObject callback on the main form's DO. -- Justin Patrin
