Form Position Configuration?

Hi Everyone,

I am now to chronoforms and not amazing with joomla so I would like to know if there is a tutorial on how to configure the position of elements on the form.

For example i would like to have my form horizontal and not vertical and the input boxes larger as well as align certain check boxes.

Is there a video that would help me with this. If not can you please give me an idea how to start and where to insert the code.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi amberb,

Sorry there isn't much help with this.

You can edit the CSS used to layout the form as much as you like - that will take you a long way.

You can use the new 'Add multi-item row' options in CFv4 RC3.11 to go more horizonatal.

You can edit the Form HTML or use custom HTM if you like.

Thank you for your help.

This may be a stupid question but if I edit the CSS used to layout the form can I go to Form Wizzard - Code - Load CSS or if I edit the HTML part do i go to Forms Manager - New Form - Code - HTML Code

Or do I have to do a hack and go in the back end in my file Manager HTML Directory.

Hi amberb,

Start out with the Load CSS action. You can make most changes from there if you are familiar with CSS selectors. You may need to use !important to over-ride some template settings.

You can edit the Form HTML either by using the Custom element to add in extra code (I use this to add fieldsets or tables). OR you can click the 'form name' link in the Forms Manager to edit the whole of the Form HTML. If you do this then set the type to Custom to lock out the Preview window.

Use the first approach for minor changes and the second for major re-coding.
