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'); ?>

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
