[html-formfu] [patch] reverse order of labels and fields, new patch

Ronald J Kimball rkimball+formfu at pangeamedia.com
Mon Nov 17 16:45:31 GMT 2008


Back in July, I sent a proposed patch against 0.03001 that allowed more =

control over reversing the order of labels and fields:

http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/html-formfu/2008-July/001249.html

I still have a need for both of these options, so I have created a new =

patch against 0.03005 (attached).


This patch does the following:

Adds a reverse attribute to _Field, which defaults to false.  If reverse =

is true, the label will follow the field; otherwise it will precede the =

field.  (If the label tag is 'legend', then reverse is ignored; the =

legend always appears as the first tag within the container tag.)

Adds a reverse_group attribute to Checkboxgroup and Radiogroup, which =

defaults to true.  If reverse_group is true, the labels will follow the =

fields; otherwise they will precede the fields.

Adds tests for the new behavior.  Tests pass for string and template =

rendering.


For all three reverse attributes (reverse, reverse_multi, reverse_group) =

a true value means the label should follow the field.  The default =

values for reverse and reverse_group in this patch preserve the existing =

behavior of FormFu.

thanks,
Ronald
