How to create a Horizontal form with deform 2?

[renierdbruyn]

I am using deform 2 together with Bootstrap 3, to render some forms, and I want to create a Horizontal form as shown here, but all of the examples on the demo-site, is not examples of horizontal forms( with the label next to the input element).

I have tried using form_class="form-horizontal", and bootstrap_form_style="form-horizontal"(deform_bootstrap). When using the above, it does add the class form-horizontal, however I dont just want to add a class to the form element.

How do I add the rest of the class names to the rest of the form to make it a horizontal form as is on the the bootstrap site?

You probably know this, but it's not just a matter of setting appropriate CSS classes, the HTML structure of horizontal forms is different that that of vertical forms (e.g. need an extra <div> around the text <input>.) This requires changes, I think, to (at least) the form.pt and mapping-item.pt templates.

I did some work on this in PR #187. The patches there are probably stale now.

Thanks for your response. I have managed to modify the files: form.pt and mapping-item.pt and I got now a horizontal form 😄 ...
