SID-01490: Formatting form fields

Hi,

I have setup a contact database application based upon the ContactDbAddOn. I have added extra fields and would like to use some basic formatting to split the form fields into different groups. I have done this using standard Twiki formatting for the new contact page, but can't figure out how to get the formatting to work for the view/edit pages. Any formatting I add, no matter where I add it, all appears before the form and its corresponding fields.

Example: I want something like:

Personal Details

Business Contact Details

However, if I put the relevant header code between the various META:FIELD commands in my contact template file the output is:

Personal Details

Business Contact Details

How do I add formatting such as headers when using forms and META fields?

Thanks, Lee

Discussion and Answer

If I understand correctly you'd like to have more control over the form when editing the form. Read "Field Name Notes" in TWikiForms - you can use type label and leave the name empty.

There is no control over viewing a form in terms of sections with headings. However, you can define a custom layout using form fields, like done in the ContactHeader.

Creo debes de verificar los meta datos para poder editar los campos con raw=debug
