[solved] Where is css for form builder?

Post by billandsonia »

I'm probably missing something, but there are a bunch of css classes in the form builder templates. Is there a style sheet somewhere that goes with these?

Hi

This is what you have to do :
Go to Formbuilder menu
next select the form you 're working on  it
next In the list of the fields(name, email,subject...)  click on the 'CSS' field and you see the usual CMSMS editor box.
next click the 'HTML' button in the menu of the editor  you will see all your CSS

Voila

Is this a default form, if so it should be there, if not try to find a default form and look for it there...

I use the tick box "Turn WYSIWYG on/off"...

Tannos - you must be using an older, newer, or otherwise different release of FormBuilder. There is no CSS button anywhere near the form listings on the one I have (0.5.1) There is a field for CSS Class for this Form immediately after you open the form, but that just references a class for the form element, so far as I can tell. Most of the child elements have class names referenced in the included templates, but they're nowhere to be found.

There is some CSS attributed to Paul Noone provided in the help docs (thank you Paul), but all the classes that are used in the other supplied templates are not included on this stylesheet. I guess I was hoping there was another stylesheet that provided the rest of the CSS that maybe, accidently got left out of the module. I can and will build my own if I have to, but it would of course be a lot easier to benefit from someone else's hard work!! :) Actually, this module is working beautifully right now, and kudos to Samuel Goldstein for a great job, and thanks to Paul.

If I make a stylesheet that actually references all the classes used, I'll contribute that myself. But I'm still holding out hope that there's one floating around somewhere...  someone made those class labels to go with something, didn't they?...   anyone... ?

Shot of it...

What is in it...

THIS IS NO LONGER IN THE FORM...
THERE IS A DEFAULT STYLE SHEET THAT COMES WITH FORMBUILDER NOW...
ATTACH THAT TO YOUR FORM PAGE TEMPLATE...
MAKE CHANGES IN IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE LOOK...


There is also a CSS etc. on the forum here that I read about just a couple of days ago, some one offered a screen shot and the form and the CSS...

Here it is, just did a search...

Thanks Mark for the shot.

All they have to do now is to click on the css fields and edit the style in the editor

Doesn't work for me... I click on Turn WYSIWYG, but then , when I click on Update, the text comes out in the Tiny Editor WYSIWYG window and the CSS is embedded like a normal text...

You should move it out of the form and into a stylesheet as it throws an error in html validation...
