jLayouts overrides for element just dont seem to work.

[BodgeIT]

Hi trying to override radiobutton with jLayout.

I have created folder /mytemplate/html/layouts/com_fabrik/element/myfullelementname/
Then copied in the layout file from the radiobutton plugin and added code.

Override not being picked up.

Any suggestions...is this working yet fully?
I see there are no Bootstrap3 layouts available for radiobutton yet.

No, the radiobutton doesn't use that layout, it was something I started doing, but turns out it's so tightly bound up with the generic grid() and gridItem() helpers, it's a big task to extract it into it's own layout.

Hi Hugh,
OK thanks for the update. Might clear things up by removing it from the list of elements that can use jLayouts.

If I wanted to override it, and add some text after the radiobutton button group, is that possible using some other method?

Not really, no. I'd have to move some code into that layout file and actually use it.

Looking forward to when all elements are overridable in jLayouts, will be powerful feature.

They pretty much all are. The radio button is one of the last (at least of the commonly used ones) that aren't.
