I noticed the how-to on adding a login form to any template. I'm curious, can this be applied to any module, given that the fields match up?

For the project I'm beginning, I'm not a fan of having a separated 'admin' page for each add/update of my items (basically trying to make a single-page app here).

These top three lines seem to say that I could theoretically point it to whatever module I want and to that modules save/update url and have it work out okay:

{jrCore_form_create_session module="jrUser" option="login" assign="token"}

Seems I can't add html to my post but I was referring also to the form tag with it's action attribute pointed at: {$jamroom_url}/user/login_save

The forms have their own layout. That layout is all done via templates, so there's no reason that I can think of that would prevent them from being presented in a different way.

The question can only really be answered by doing it though, then seeing what issues you run into along the way.

Make sure and put any HTML in code tags - i.e. [ code ] html here [ /code ] (no spaces before/after square brackets) so it looks like:

<b>This is some bold HTML!</b>

Hope this helps!

Forgive me if I'm being dense here. Are you referring to some global form templates as a part of the core?

I looked through some of a modules and the only one I could see that was related to forms was a button (on the actions module) that did an AJAX call to a module URL (where I assume a view was setup to return data).

The modules never seem to have form templates, at least not the ones sold as a bundle before launch.

Is there some take-precedence practice where I can put modName_create_form.tpl, or are you referring to doing something custom?

All the forms are created using core templates - located in modules/jrCore/templates - you'll see the main one is "form_field_elements.tpl" - you can override this with your own custom version by creating a file called:

jrCore_form_field_elements.tpl

in your active skin directory.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! Can this be done on a per-module basis?

Yes - any module that provides a template can have it's templates "overridden" by the skin.

Hope this helps!
