hello, all,
I have just looked into the HTML::FORMFU template files located in
root/formfu.
i was wondering if anyone has done customisations of their template
files and how about to do it ?
i can figure out how to do it but the method may not be as elegant as
compared to someone who has done it before.
I have looked at the 'advanced customisation' page in the HTML::FORMFU
manual cookbook
(http://search.cpan.org/~cfranks/HTML-FormFu-0.03002/lib/HTML/FormFu/Manual/Cookbook.pod#Installing_the_TT_templates).
Seems a little to brief :(
Are there any other examples or tutorials you can point me to?
thank you

ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION ^
Installing the TT templates
It only makes sense to use the template files if you plan on customising
them, as the default string render-method is faster.
If you're using the Catalyst web framework, install
Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu and run the following command:
$ script/myapp_create.pl HTML::FormFu
This will create a directory, root/formfu, containing the HTML::FormFu
template files.
If you use Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu as a base class and you
don't set HTML::FormFu's INCLUDE_PATH yourself, it will automatically be
set to root/formfu if that directory exists.
If you're not using Catalyst, you can create the template files by
running the following command:
$ html_formfu_deploy.pl <target-directory>
Take note that if you choose to customise your own copy of
HTML::FormFu's template files, you'll need to keep track of the Changes
file, when updating HTML::FormFu, so that you can update your own
templates if the core templates are updated.
