ViewScript and looping through individual elements 1. My suggestion is to take the string output of $multiCheckbox->renderViewHelper(), explode it using the separator, then loop through each line. e.g. $form->addElement('multiCheckbox', 'foo', array( 'multiOptions' => $options, 'separator' => '__SEPARATOR__' ));// view script $output = $this->element->renderViewHelper();$lines = explode('__SEPARATOR__', $output); $c = 0; foreach ($lines as $line) { echo $line . (++$c % 3 == 0 ? '<br />' : ''); }Just make sure that you use a unique separator that won't cause the string to split incorrectly. 2. If it's for rendering the form tag, <?php echo $form->renderForm(false) ?> would output the opening <form> tag complete with the form attributes. -- Mon Hi Mon, 1) Good suggestion, seems like this is the way to go, yes. Thanks. 2) Yes! I was looking for something like that. But couldn't find it in de apidoc nor in the Zend_Form class itself. Now I realize it is a decorator being called through the magic __call() method. So I tried it just now, but couldn't get it to work at first, but now I realize this was due to the fact that I had overwritten the standard decorators with: $this->setDecorators( array( 'PrepareElements', array( 'ViewScript', array( 'viewScript' => 'offer/partials/form.phtml' ) ); Now that I added 'Form' as the first element in the argument array all works fine. Once again thank you for your valuable input. Zend Frameworks community is ace! :-) Cheers On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 5:19 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: Hi y'all, I'm using a ViewScript decorator for my Zend_Form. In this form I'ld like each third checkbox in a collection of checkboxes to start on a newline, or in a new block element or something similar. I tried it with a MultiCheckbox. I wish I could do something similar as beneath in my forms ViewScript: <? $c = 1; foreach( $this->element->myMultiCheckbox as $checkbox ) { $separator = $c % 2 == 0 ? '<br>' : ''; echo $checkbox->renderViewHelper() . $separator; $c++; } ?> But sadly this doesn't seem possible. My next option I think would be to use seperate Checkbox elements with the multiple [] indicator in their names. But I have no idea how I would be able to loop through them in my ViewScript either. Do you perhaps have any hints on how I could achieve this? Also, with the Zend_Form ViewScript decorator, I thought I would be able to access the form object with something like $this->form from within the view. But I'm not able to access it. How would I be able to access for instance Zend_Form::getMethod(), Zend_Form::getEncType() and other (userland) attributes from within the ViewScript? Thank you for your pointers.
