Matt thanks for the reply, I have used the methods as per this tutorial as well - I guess my point with over-engineer is just that, a lot of classes, options etc. etc. to accomplish something really trivial, maybe I'm just lazy
Anyway sometimes true genius lies in simplicity, I consider myself very proficient with ZF and I struggle with decorators and every single ZF developer I've worked with feels the same... I'm not referring to simple form layouts as you'll find in 80% of all the tutorials - then there is also the obvious potholes as well, file fields and belongsTo array issues etc. bottom line is most of the time front-end developers/designers design the form layouts, which in a counter argument makes the decorators sort of redundant anyway, unless we use view scripts and hand code the render() of 1000 fields. long story short, the decorators does not help us with RAD, its frustrating and makes us miss deadlines...history has proven that the more complex something gets, the more prone to error, the trend these days are anyway "simpler is better" -- View this message in context: http://zend-framework-community.634137.n4.nabble.com/Over-engineered-Zend-Form-Decorators-help-tp3850650p3853282.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- List: [email protected] Info: http://framework.zend.com/archives Unsubscribe: [email protected]
