Layout and other modifications

Congratulations on a great Joomla extension. Very easy to work with.

I do have a few questions.

Can I add some text between fields in the layout ? For example "Contact Information" as a section header followed by the contact fields (name, address, etc.) another section header "Education" followed by name of school field and year(s) attended field. All in the same form.

Is there a way to add a space in the field name ? I'm using Birthdate with "Date of Birth" as custom text below the field but it would take up less space and may be less confusing for the end user to use "Date of Birth" as the field name. Can this be done ?

Also, can I use a layout that is 2 columns wide ?

Thanks. Again, great job on the extension.

Hi,

thank so much for the compliment!

In my opinion a field of type "fieldseparator" is the best way to accomplish the task you describe.

You can tick the checkbox for the field option "Border not visible" and use the Custom text in the fields "Advanced" tab to create the section headers and description texts between section.

The text that is displayed as field label in frontend is the called "Label" in Backend not "Name". You can use space (blanks) in the label field and can type in ther "Date of Birth" and this label will show up in frontend. The field "Name" in backend is used a database field name (therefore the character restictions) and will not show up in frontend.

To create a 2 columns layout you would have to change the source code. Visforms works with floats and clears for a nice and stable layout of forms. I've already looked into this and it's difficult to change this layout to a two columns layout.

Kind Regards,
