Forum Index / General / viewmode()

Hi, The function viewmode() currently shows the values of a field only. Would it be possible to extend that to also use labels? A grid of checkboxes currently looks like this in viewmode: - 1 - 2 - 3 Where it would be more logical when it reads: - Group 1 - Group 2 - Group 3 Thus, the array values (that's the same you see when you see the checkboxes when not in viewmode)

Could you post some code where it goed wrong?

It's not really wrong.
When you have multiple checkboxes like this:

<?php
$animals = array('dg' => 'dog', 'ct' => 'cat');

$form->checkBox("Favorite animal(s)", "animal", $animals);

?>

A normal form then shows checkboxes with labels. (so you don't see the actual values). When you show a form in viewmode(), you'll see a list with the values:

- dg
- ct

It would be more logical for the user to see the labels instead of the values.

Cheers.

Could it be that you are still using an older version of FormHandler?

When I use this:

<?php

$animals = array('dg' => 'dog', 'ct' => 'cat');

$form->checkBox("Favorite animal(s)", "animal", $animals);

$form -> setValue('animal', 'dg, ct');

$form -> setFieldViewMode('animal');

?>

I get to see:
* dog
* cat

whoops, that could be. A was using viewmode() for the whole form. Let's see I if can update without problems. :)

If you use enableViewMode, the effect is the same on the fields...
