Override RadFormField

Hi Tuan,

Is there an easy way to override the output of the RADFormFields getInput function? For example, the Radio output is rendered in a fieldset within an unordered list, which is not really the correct semantics (administrator/components/com_eventbooking/libraries/rad/form/field/radio.php).

We would like to change that, but not by hacking your extension

Thanks!

Hello Sander

Unfortunately, it's not possible to customize it without hacking the extension core code at the moment.

I guess I can support it in the next release by introducing layout for each field type. Just wanted to know what should be the recommend code for output?

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

Thanks for your quick response. I do think it would be great if something like a JLayout could be used. In that way, we can always override it if needed.

I will discuss this with our frontend developers next week and propose a proper output/solution.

Thanks!

We won't use JLayout as we have something similar (but simpler). Anyway, Yes, I agree sometime we should be allowed to customize the output and I will support it (in 3.8.1). I will release version 3.8.0 with some nice improvements on Monday next week, so it's too late for this option

Hi Sander

I just updated download package on server which support this option. Now, you can override layout of any custom field + field label + field output. You can:

1. Get the the related layout file from components/com_eventbooking/themes/default/fieldlayout

2. Do the modification. One the modification is done, upload it to PATH_TO_TEMPLATE/html/com_eventbooking/fieldlayout folder

Then this modification won't be lost when you update to future releases of the extension
