List and another form within a form

[mariluzrm]

Hello.
I need to know if it is possible to have a list within a form (list of hobbies in the student form).
Second, if it is possible to have the form below your list (on the same page). That is, the hobby detail (hobby form) below the list of hobbies.
I have attached a jpg.
Thank you!!

Yes, you can use the content plugin to display (filtered) list above or under the form. You must use form intro or outro (or create a custom list template without any form tag, list actions etc).
Similar with a form under/above a list.

Thank you very much.
You say: "you can use the content plugin to display (filtered) list above or under the form", but, is it possible to display the list inside the form (ie between two fields of the form)?
Thanks!!

You can (e.g in a group intro or anywhere in a custom form template), but then you need a custom list template without any HTML form tag, no list actions etc., pure display, doing {fabrik view=list ... layout=your-custom-list-layout}
Because you can't have nested HTML form tags.

Thanks. But two questions:

When you say "pure display", then the list can't be updated? (you say"no list actions, etc")

How can I learn how to do a custom form template and custom list template? Is it explain in wiki?

Thanks !!!

Yes, if you have it inside the form's HTML form tag (i.e. not in intro or outro).

I don't understand it well, could I see some example?

Ok:
Default list in default form's intro or outro (full functionality of list actions)

<div>
    form intro
    <form>
        list
    </form>
</div>

<form>
    form fields
</form>

<div>
    form outro
    <form>
        list
    </form>
</div>

Also ok:
Custom list template (<form> tags removed) in default form's group intro or outro (no list actions functional)

<form>
    form fields

    <div>
        group intro or outro

        <div>
            custom list template without form tags
        </div>
     
    </div>

    form fields
</form>

Not ok:
Default list with <form> tags somehow inserted inside another form (nested <form> = HTML violation = nothing at all working anymore)

<form>
    form fields

    <form>
        list
    </form>

    form fields
</form>
