How to add a custom style / form theme

Question

Hello Bob,

in the generated wizard code it says:

echo \GCore\Helpers\Html::formLine($field["name"], $field);

for the output of my dropdown. In the called function, several containers and classes are added to the html output.
I saw, that there are "themes" and I would like to add a theme to fit my needs.

How can I do that? I added my theme class to the helpers/themes folder, but it is not recognised...
Could you provide a short example?

Thank you for your help,
Anne

Hi Anne,

You can build entirely custom HTML for your form using the Code tab and setting the Form Type to Custom. I don't usually recommend this but it is entirely practical. As a half-way house you can add chunks of HTML - including inputs - in Custom Code elements in the Designer tab.

There is no direct support for Themes, but you could hack an existing theme to meet your needs (keep a backup as it may be over-written if you upgrade CF). Or you can load snippets or files from a Load CSS action in the form On Load event.
