Standard joomla 3.x form layout 12 Jun 2013 06:56 #7444

Summary:
Why don't integrate the following options by default in the jcook-builder?
example of functionalities needed:
  1. option to have nested bricks in layouts
  2. class autocomplete feature in the brick options ("span1" to "span12" these classes give the width of the dom element.)
  3. option to add extra empty FIELDS as spacer between fields.
  4. tabs functionalities in layout.


Even just as options without a real wysiwyg functionality in the j-cook builder would improve a lot the overall layout of the components generated.

To have a standard joomla layout, let's analize the joomla article form:

  1. element 1
    <div class="span10">
    ...........
    </div>

  2. element 2
    <div class="span2">
    ...........
    </div>

  3. nested element INSIDE the element 1)
    <div class="row-fluid">
    ...........
    </div>


  4. nested element INSIDE the element 3)
    <div class="span6">
    ...........
    </div>

  5. the same like the previous, nested element INSIDE the element 3)
    <div class="span6">
    ...........
    </div>

  6. div used as spacer between fields
    <div class="control-group">
    	<span class="spacer">
    		<span class="before"></span>
    		<span>
    			<hr>
    		</span>
    		<span class="after"></span>
    	</span>
    	<div class="controls"> </div>
    </div>

  7. joomla bootstrap tabs, example code:
    <!-- start tabs set -->
    <?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.startTabSet', 'myTab', array('active' => 'tab1')); ?>
    	
    	<!-- start tab1 -->
    	<?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.addTab', 'myTab', 'tab1', JText::_('MYTEXTVARIABLE', true)); ?>
    ..............................
    	<!-- end tab1 -->
    	<?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.endTab'); ?>
    
    
    	<!-- start tab2 -->
    	<?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.addTab', 'myTab', 'tab2', JText::_('MYTEXTVARIABLE2', true)); ?>
    ..............................
    	<!-- end tab2 -->
    	<?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.endTab'); ?>
    
    	
    	<!-- start tabN -->
    	<?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.addTab', 'myTab', 'tabN', JText::_('MYTEXTVARIABLE_N', true)); ?>
    ..............................
    	<!-- end tabN -->
    	<?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.endTab'); ?>
    
    <!-- end tabs set -->
    <?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.endTabSet'); ?>

Freakin' Awesome!!! J-Cook is simply awesome - whether you're a highly experienced developer or complete novice whether you're building a small inventory component or a complete community solution! The beauty comes from a fast slick and reliable platform that readily provides developers with everything they'll need to build the backbone of a solid and secure component with wizards for authoring access publishing aliasing created/modified by dates... you name it COOK provides it! J-Cook really surpasses all of the 'competition' as far as MVC tools are concerned! Try love it and get cooking!
