FuelPHP Forums

If I look at http://docs.fuelphp.com/classes/validation/validation.html, I don't see any mention of a fieldset class. Forge a validation object, add the fields, run it. Job done. As to your fieldset remark, the fieldset form is generated using a template defined in your config/form.php. If you want to change the template, copy it from core/config to app/config and modify it. You can also pass a custom config to the fieldset when you forge it, or use the set_config() method to define a custom form at runtime. I've got apps that have several definitions in a config file, which I pass on to the fieldset using \Config::get('forms.formname') which will return an array similar to the one below. Remember, the power of FuelPHP is that everything is configurable and extendable. Including this. I have an app with a template that looks like this

return array(
 'prep_value'   => true,
 'auto_id'    => true,
 'auto_id_prefix'  => 'form_',
 'form_method'   => 'post',
 'form_template'   => "\t\t{form_open}\n<dl>{fields}</dl>\n\t\t{form_close}\n",
 'field_template'  => "\t\t\t<dt>{label}</dt> <dd>{field} {error_msg}</dd>\n",
 'multi_field_template' => "\t\t\t{group_label}{required}\n {fields}\t\t\t<dt>{label}</dt> <dd>{field}</dd>{fields}",
 'required_mark'   => '*',
 'inline_errors'   => true,
 'error_template'  => '<div class="error">{error_msg}</div>'
);

and using css I can position the labels, fields and error messages exactly where I want them (which is label above the field, error message behind it.
