Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Correct way to append / prepend HTML on FormHelper
I understand your point of view as well and I know what the default helper
does. It is a pain but you are writing a custom helper - you can freely do
what you want :)
Why not override the templates in the config of your helper as Jose
suggested and have additional methods in your helper which create
input-groups? You may need to implement a widget for it...

Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Correct way to append / prepend HTML on FormHelper
Thanks for you answer, I understand your point of view.
Unfortunately the 'input' method does not generate only the HTML input tag
(even when not using a custom helper):
$this->Form->input('mail') ;
Mail
It is almost like the default CakePHP helper, I just changed the div class
from 'input' to 'form-group'. So, now the problem with 'prepend' is that I
need to insert HTML inside the HTML generated by the 'input' method:
Mail

The problem is still the same with 'inputContainer', I need to make
a temporary update if I want to prepend / append something.
I will look at custom widget but I am not sure it's match what I
want... The prepend / append options should be available with most
type of
input, it's not really a widget itself.

Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Correct way to append / prepend HTML on FormHelper
@ This part of the input
group is NOT a part of the form element thus as a best compromise I
would put it in a separate helper method with options - so something
like
$this->Form->inputGroup([class=>'input-group-addon', 'text'=>'@']);
$this->Form->input('field',[moreoptions]);
but then IMHO it is plain abuse of CPU cycles

Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Correct way to append / prepend HTML on FormHelper
How would you do that?
I can't do this:
echo $htmlBefore.$this->Form->input().$htmlAfter ;
because I need to include it inside the generated HTML. Of course, I could
create the whole HTML outside the helper and use the "direct" method
('text' for example) to get only the input tag, but it would be more
complicated and I would lose every advantage of using a custom helper.
Actually, this is a plugin, so I just want it to be easy to use, even if
it's not easy to write (well, my code is currently working so it is not
that hard). I think it's easier to write:
echo $this->Form->input('field', ['prepend' => '@']) ;
than to write the whole bootstrap HTML.

What I'm doing is inheriting standard CakePHP FormHelper to generate
HTML form with bootstrap templates. It's currently working well, but in
the
'input' method overload, I'm doing a temporary change to the 'input'
template as shown in my first post.
My question is: Is that a 'good' way of doing what I want? I mean,
using temporary template changes.
I don't want people to have to change the template manually when
calling the 'input' method, it should be transparent for users.

Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Correct way to append / prepend HTML on FormHelper
Thanks for the link! Unfortunately it doesn't help since it does not allow
user to create bootstrap 'input-group', it is only template for default
input, which I've already done even if it's look better written this way.

The problem is still the same with 'inputContainer', I need to make a
temporary update if I want to prepend / append something.
I will look at custom widget but I am not sure it's match what I
want... The prepend / append options should be available with most type of
input, it's not really a widget itself.

Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Correct way to append / prepend HTML on FormHelper
I think my question was not clear actually...
What I'm doing is inheriting standard CakePHP FormHelper to generate HTML
form with bootstrap templates. It's currently working well, but in the
'input' method overload, I'm doing a temporary change to the 'input'
template as shown in my first post.
My question is: Is that a 'good' way of doing what I want? I mean, using
temporary template changes.
I don't want people to have to change the template manually when calling
the 'input' method, it should be transparent for users.
Thanks for your answer,

Re: CakePHP 3.0 - Correct way to append / prepend HTML on FormHelper
You can make temporary changes to the templates both with Form->create()
and Form->input()
$this->From-input('foo', ['templates' => ['inputContainer' => $template]]);
An alternative is not using input(); but just build the html yourself in
the template and call $this->Form->text('foo') , for example
