Arrange Elements

[rene.brodmuehler@gmail.com]

Dear All

is there a way to arrange elements on a form in a horizontal way? What I mean is, that by default, elements are arranged one below the other -> vertically. I would like to arrange elements side by side in one row.

E.g. I have elements for Net, Gross and VAT values. Rather than these fields appearing one below the other I would like to show these three elements in one row.

Is that possible?

Thanks and best regards
René

In group settings, layout tab, set "Columns" to something else than 1.

Hello,
If you go into Groups and select the group that corresponds to your form, you can go to layout and change the ammount of elements that are gonna be shown in that line.

If you chose 4 per example, your form would look something like this.

Hallo

these are my settings ... but it is not working. No idea what is wrong. Is there something I have to set in the general Fabrik settings?

Thanks Rene

You'll need a Bootstrap Joomla template. Joomla's standard is still Protostar (Bootstrap2), for Bootstrap3/4 templates you have to add the layout override

Hallo troester

thanks a lot for your response. I have a Bootstrap 4 template, generated with TemplateToaster. Would that work with the JLayout bootstrap 3 override?

I think so.
If something is missing you can always add custom CSS and/or modify the overrides.

Ok .... will try.

Since HTML and CSS and Overrides are not my world .... this is what I am gonna do now (from github ....): correct?
Thanks
René

Yes. Instead of purity_iii it's your Joomla template folder.

 

[rene.brodmuehler@gmail.com]

Sorry that I ask ..... but where do I find my Joomla template folder. There is one template folder in my root directory and another one in administrator ...

 

[juuser]

For front-end templates it's the one in the root folder.

Many thanks for your help and patience. Assuming I got it right now then this should be the right folder, isn't it?

 

[juuser]

Yes!

 

[rene.brodmuehler@gmail.com]

Many many thanks .... I give this a try now. Let's see what happens ...

Appreciate all your help!!

Still not working .... sh....

com_fabrik should contain the folders + files from the
Fabrik-Joomla-alt-layouts/bootstrap3/ folder
etc

 

[rene.brodmuehler@gmail.com]

My folder is now looking like this


These are my settings:

And this is the result:


I can see that the override creates the columns but unfortunately the elements are not re-arranged. At the same time, the overrides is impacting the button appearance and positioning.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Is there another source for the overrides files? Or does someone have a set of files that works for him. That would help determining that there is something wrong with my environment.

Many thanks for your help.

Ddo you have a link to your form?

 

[rene.brodmuehler@gmail.com]

Here we go ...

https://daec-lv-berlin.rbr-fly-sail.de/index.php/verwaltung/rechnungen/form/14/

I also created a guest account. With GuestGuest for UID and PW you can logon. When you then go to "Verwaltung" -> "Rechnungen" you find the form as well. Please be careful. This is a live website with real data and users.

Many thanks and best regards
René

As far as I can see for Bootstrap3/4 it needs additional custom CSS, e.g.
.rowfluid {display:flex;width:100%} and some for labels etc.

The override is switching icons to font-awesome, it seems you don't have them.
You can modify fabrik-icon.php.

BTW:
For repeat groups you can select Template=table. Then you'll get the element labels in a table header, all repeated values below and the group outro is working.
There seems to be a bug nobody found until now (group outro always displaying after the first repeat group).
