Multiple fields on one line?

Hi,

Just a quickie: Using CFV4, is it possible to have multiple fields displayed on one line USING THE WIZARD to create the form?

I understand I can convert my form to "custom" and then edit the HTML. I was just wondering if the wizard allowed it?

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

In the latest version the Wizard elements have 'Start a Multi field row' and 'Add to a Multi field row' options on the Other tab. I haven't tested but I think that these will do what you want.

Works perfectly!

Thanks,

Adam

hi, i'm new and i've been scouring the forum looking for an answer to this.

This is the latest post so i'm optimistic.

i am currently using V4 of chronoforms and cannot find an "other" tab nor a multi holder anywhere.

can you guys please help me navigate?

thank you!

In your Joomla Admin area:

Go to components -> Chronoforms -> Forms Manager
Click the Wizard Edit for the form you want to edit
On the right, find the field you want the multifield line to start, and click Edit
Next the the General tab you'll see the Other tab - click it
There you'll find two click boxes:
Start a multifield row
Addto a multifield row
Click the first one to start a row and the second one to add to the row

Give it a shot!

Adam

hi, I have another question. I used the options to start multi field rows and to add other fields to the multi field row. But there is something wrong! What I want to have is:

1st row: field1 field2
2nd row: field3 field4

so the options on the "Other" configuration tab is set to:
field1: start a multi field row
field2: add to a multi field row
field3: start a multi field row
field4: add to a multi field row

I hat the configuration set up as said above and it seemed to work but then I scaled up the monitor resolution and all of a sudden the form turned out to be like:

1st row: field1 field2 field3
2nd row: field4

does anyone know how to change it? Does coding help? is it some windows feature? and sorry for shitty english, i'm german :-)

Hi jhanikel,

There seem to be some odd CSS effects if you have a multi-field row immediately follwed by another multi-field row. I had some success by using a Custom element between the two rows with the code

<div style='clear:both;'></div>

You can try and see if this works for your form.

Hi,

I clicked on the multi row field and nothing happens. Can someone tell me what I missing?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

I think that:[list=a]

your template needs to be wide enough to allow the two input side by side

you need to have at least one 'Add to multi-field row' element after the 'Start a new multi-field row' element.

I sometimes remove the labels from the later elements (label over might also work)

I make the size of the multi-row inputs smaller if possible either with CSS or the Size option.

Hi Bob,

I will check out your suggestions. I did post something about using the custom HTML and your reply to that question seems to be working.

Would you say that using the custom HTML would be better or is there really not much of a difference.

Thanks,

John

hey Bob,

your suggestion with the custom field worked perfectly. Thank you!
