As you can see i'd like to divide my form into a 2 column form, i can't find html source to customize it. I would like to transfer form's fields 4 5 6 to right column and message field / captcha and the rest centered to the bottom of those 2 columns.
I've read many posts in faq about layout customization but i really cant reach to customize it.
You need to apply proper CSS (see Styling->CSS editor) to format your form. Typically you'd apply to the individual input fields (using their ID's) either a float attribute or a clear: both; attribute.
Sorry, I meant to say that the floats and clears need to be added to the individual <LI> items (using their ID), e.g. (add to the bottom of the CSS file)
Something in the Ajax module causes the server to throw an error:
500 Internal Server Error
Try disabling Ajax for the form and see if that works. You may also want to contact your provider to see if they can tell you what is causing the "500 error" in lib_ajax.php.
I've activated all structures forms and add the structure mail for each form.
Forms seems to work
but css style i'm using is set back to default…
When i go in styles from admin css, it displays my modified form, but online it displays its layout as default.. (non modified layout) and i really can't understand why..
You could (and should) create cforms-custom (see Help page/CSS) and put your own modified files (CSS and all images the CSS references) in there, then select anew from the theme drop down and update settings.
1. I've created a cforms-custom folder under plugin foldet
2. Gone trough the admin into styling, selected my custom form
3. Deactivated style and reactivate
Now it looks the same and i have a strange issue on header source.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.agriturismiitalia.com/wp-content/plugins/cforms/styling/../../cforms-custom/wide_brown_light_2.css" />
why does not correspond to the layout i specified!?
Hey Oliver, just downloaded the cforms plug-in today and it is amazing! Thank you! I saw that this thread is older but I also am trying to have a multi column form for my page just to be able to squeeze the form into as small of a space as possible, i tried to use a float left attribute and clear all but I can't seem to make two columns. I used the code you placed earlier in this thread but that didn't do the trick. I have the width of my input boxes set to 250px. Do you have any suggestions as to what I could do?
