Re: Drupal form library and wizard form updates
Just a heads up – I have just checked in quite a few changes to the data entry helper stuff as well as the Drupal iForm module. The changes relate to the following:
1) Ability to use the tabbed interface support to do a “wizard” interface, with hidden tab strip and next/previous buttons. See data_entry_helper::enable_tabs and data_entry_helper::wizard_buttons. Also I updated http://code.google.com/p/indicia/wiki/TutorialTabs.
2) Ability to attach validation to the controls “client side” using the jQuery validation plugin, so you can do an initial validation before they leave a page without postback. See data_entry_helper::enable_validation. Also see the tutorial http://code.google.com/p/indicia/wiki/T … Validation.
3) Drupal “prebuilt forms” can now have custom css files, automatically linked in if they are in the prebuilt_forms/css folder with the same name as the form php file.
4) Drupal “prebuilt forms” can now have custom language files, automatically linked in if they are in the prebuilt_forms/lang folder with the same name as the form php file but with en.php as the extension (replacing en with other languages as required).
If you look in the prebuilt forms library using Subversion you will see a form starting with mnhnl in the name, this has examples of all of this.
