Form to Table

Category:Helper Category:Form Category:Table

How about not having to create any tables around forms anymore?

How to use it: [code] This will create a row with a single iten and the key will be the heading: $form['Title'] = 'Title input filed goes here'; [/code] This will create a row with two itens and the second keys will be the headings: [code] $form[1]['slug'] = '<input type="text" name="slug" />'; $form[1]['Group'] = '<input type="text" name="group" />'; [/code] This will create the form and the table: [code] function addPage() { $data = form_open('admin/addPage', $attributes); $form['Title'] = '<input type="text" name="Title" value="" maxlength="200" size="50" />'; $form[1]['slug'] = '<input type="text" name="slug" />'; $form[1]['Group'] = form_dropdown('groups', user_groups(), 'User'); $form['Body'] = '<textarea name="Body" rows="20" cols="80" /></textarea>'; $form[''] = '<input type="submit" name="submit_page" value="Submit" />'; $data .= form_table($form); $data .= '</form>'; $this->load->view('layout/blank', $data); } [/code]

Form to Table Just save this in a helper file: [code] function form_table($form) { $return = '

'; $this->load->library('table'); $this->table->set_template(table_form()); foreach($form as $k=>$v){ if(is_numeric($k)){ $head = array_keys($v); $this->table->set_heading($head); $return .= $this->table->generate($v); }else{ $this->table->set_heading($k); $this->table->add_row($v); $return .= $this->table->generate(); } $this->table->clear(); } $return .= '</td></tr></table>'; return $return; } [/code] Add this to your css file [code] table.form { width: 100%; } [/code] This is the template, which only adds the class="form" value: [code] function table_form() { return array ( 'table_open' => ' ', 'heading_row_start' => '<tr class="form">', 'heading_row_end' => '</tr>', 'heading_cell_start' => '<th class="form">', 'heading_cell_end' => '</th>', 'row_start' => '<tr class="form">', 'row_end' => '</tr>', 'cell_start' => '<td class="form">', 'cell_end' => '</td>', 'row_alt_start' => '<tr class="form">', 'row_alt_end' => '</tr>', 'cell_alt_start' => '<td class="form">', 'cell_alt_end' => '</td>', 'table_close' => '</table>' ); } [/code] If you need help or even better have improvements let me know, please.
