Hi Francisco,
happy to help you, as I've gone a 4 day intensive bootstrap 3 integration
to web2py and learned a lot about customizing the views and forms. This
might not be the best (or only) solution, but has worked well for me:
- Web2py form includes classes based on their type, which I recommend to
keep, if you want any added web2py functionality.
- You need to use custom form style (form.custom.begin) and then manipulate
each widget separately (or all of them in a for loop)
Here's my form code in a view (controller is not modified). In this form I
have added "form-control" class of bootstrap 3 and kept the original class
as well. For textarea you can do "form.custom.widget.textfield['_rows'] =
3" if you want to make a smaller textarea.
<<<
<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
{{form.custom.widget.campaign['_class'] =
'generic-widget form-control'}}
{{form.custom.widget.topic['_class'] = 'string
form-control'}}
{{form.custom.widget.topic['_placeholder'] = 'Idea
topic'}}
{{form.custom.widget.description['_class'] = 'text
form-control'}}
{{form.custom.widget.description['_placeholder'] =
'Idea description'}}
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleSelect">Select a campaign</label>
{{=form.custom.widget.campaign}}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputTopic">Input idea topic and
description</label>
{{=form.custom.widget.topic}}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{=form.custom.widget.description}}
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit
your idea</button>
</div>
{{=form.custom.end}}
