Indent dependant fields

Tuan,
I would like to be able to indent my dependant custom fields. For example:



I can do it by putting a whole bunch of nbsp; at the beginning of the field title, but I would like to be able to just do it via CSS. Where in the code can I find the helper/function/etc. that handles fields and decided if they are dependant or not? I would like to tag them with a "dependant_field" class so that I can target them in CSS.

or I'm wondering can you not just use the CSS field in the custom fields config.?

I just came to the same conclusion myself! Thanks for confirming what I should have thought of before :whistle:

Well, I tried to add the class via the Custom Field -> Class box, only to discover that the class only applies to the form element (eg. the text box), and not the label text or wrapping div.




So the question of HOW TO APPLY TO THE LABEL still stands -- @Tuan: any suggestions?

I think you will need to edit the code. Try to look at administrator/components/com_eventbooking/libraries\rad\form/field.php, look at getControlGroup method and try to customize it to meet your need

To check that it is a depend field, just use

if ($this->depend_on_field_id > 0)
{
}

Please try to look at it and let me know if you need further assist

Many thanks, @Tuan! That was exactly what I needed: file, function and variable.

In case anyone else ever digs us this thread, here's what I did.
Just before the getControlGroup's return statement, I added a simple:
This tags the entire field row. To target the label portion,I used the following CSS: I decided to tag the entire row in case I ever decide to do something with background color / etc. to further differentiate the dependant fields.
