[Plugin: Custom Field Template] display several options side by side?

Yes there is.

You will need to wrap your field in fieldsets.

here’s an example of one fieldset

[accordion_fieldset]
type = fieldset_open
class=accordion

[accordion_title]
type = textfield
label = Accodion Title
class = text
blank = true

[accordion_introtext]
type = textfield
label = Teaser text for the Accordion
class = text
blank = true

[accordion_content]
type = textarea
hideKey = true
label = Content for the Accordion
blank = true
class = sharedescription

[accordion_fieldset]
type = fieldset_close

Then using CSS you can float the fieldset left.

#cftdiv .accordion {
width:45%
float:left;
margin-right:4%
}

Just add 2 fieldsets that encloses your fields

Ah, thanks for that! I will give it a try and report back.

It’s not working completely. Probably styles issue. I have added the fieldset to the options; the fieldset is floated and wraps, but the select and radio options take up the full width of the fieldset, and so cannot float next to each other.

[date_fieldset]
type = fieldset_open
class = fieldGroup

[Month]
type = select
value = Jan # Feb # Mar # Apr # May # Jun # Jul # Aug # Sep # Oct # Nov # Dec

[Day]
type = select
value = 1 # 2 # 3 # 4 # 5 # 6 # 7 # 8 # 9 # 10 # 11 # 12 # 13 # 14 # 15 # 16 # 17 # 18 # 19 # 20 # 21 # 22 # 23 # 24 # 25 # 26 # 27 # 28 # 29 # 30 # 31

[Year]
type = radio
value = 2010 # 2011 # 2012

[date_fieldset]
type = fieldset_close

I’ve tried setting a width for each one using the ID for each option (#dl_month1_0, #dl_day2_0, #dl_year3_0), nested classes, nothing affects the width of the select and radio button areas. Apparently I’m not overriding the plugin styles.

I also tried, using the ID for each option, setting display:inline-block to shrink-wrap them, but no effect either.

Currently have this in my stylesheet, trying for just the 2 select options:

#cftdiv .fieldGroup .select #dl_month1_0, #cftdiv .fieldGroup .select #dl_day2_0 {
	width:45%;
	margin-right:5%;
	float:left;
	}

Note for developer: the fieldset options are listed in the installation remarks,

* Adds the fieldset type. (type = fieldset_open, type = fieldset_close)

but don’t show in the plugin option list in the settings/admin.

I think the width is actually the dl/dd but not able to over-ride that either… about to give up as this is not that important. I just wanted to make using the form as easy as possible for non-coder types.

Hello,

I’ve got something similar and it works except for one problem.

It seems there is an issue with using type = file in the multiple fieldsets. If you hit Add New, it seems to copy (in this case) the image to the new item you are creating. It shows a thumbnail with the delete checkbox next to it. If you hit browse and select another file then update, it deletes the image on the fieldset above.

It only seems to happen to the type= file field, all text is fine.

proximity2008, do you have any ideas?

[thumbnails_item_fieldset]
type = fieldset_open
legend = Thumbnail
multiple = true
multipleButton = true

[thumbnails_item_title]
type = text
size = 90
label = Title
hideKey = true
blank = true
before = Title

[thumbnails_item_image]
type=file
relation=true
class=file
label = Image
hideKey = true
blank = true
before = Image: 590x240px

[thumbnails_item_link]
type = text
size = 90
label = Thumbnails Link
Before = Link
hideKey = true
blank = true

[thumbnails_item_order]
type = text
size = 5
label = Thumbnails Order
hideKey = true
blank = true

[thumbnails_item_fieldset]
type = fieldset_close

FYI, in prox’s initial post, the CSS code has a typo — it’s missing a semicolon after 45% (and after 4% as well, but that might not matter).
