Question: how to control where a collection is rendered

[rabol-teetrack]

Hi

I'm trying to figure out how to get a few collections rendered in the correct place

I have 5 fields that I would like to have in the beginning and then two collections as two rows

But I can figure out hw to get the non collection fields rendered an then the collections - the first entry of the collection is in the right place, but then when 'adding' to the collection the new entries gets added to the top of the form

I'm using the sample from the documentation

Code please. Which sample from the docs?

Maybe you just mean templates? Use templates to rearrange form fields.

As mentioned i'm using the the code from the docs: https://kristijanhusak.github.io/laravel-form-builder/field/collection.html
in the prototype section.

as you can see in the screenshot, the 'tags' is at the top and the 'add collection' is at the bottom. Pressing the add collection add to the top. I would have assumed that one could control where the collection is rendered, including the button

You can. It's a template. The tags field is part of the form: {!! form_row($form->tags) !!}. The button is a custom button: <button type="button" class="add-to-collection">Add to collection</button>. You decide where everything goes... I don't get it. Change the template?

My point is more that it is difficult to figure out how it works, and the example in the doc does not work very well

[rudiedirkx]

Ah. I've never used or tried the docs example, so I don't know. How it works isn't so difficult, is it? You use JS to add more rows to submit. When you get it working, you're very welcome to improve the docs example.

prefer_input isn't explained very well either. Maybe the whole collection page needs an update. It's a super super useful and powerful field after all. But first your prototype example. Did you get it working? Will you PR the docs page? https://github.com/kristijanhusak/laravel-form-builder/blob/gh-pages/_posts/2015-05-24-collection.md
