As a continuing part of my MVC series, I've posted a new article on
Form Decorators
up on the DevZone.
I'm hoping this will be the definitive guide to using form decorators. I
cover the design decisions behind them, basics of operation, how to
customize output by mixing and matching standard decorators, and how to
create your own custom decorators. Among the examples are how to create a
table-based layout for your forms (instead of the dynamic list layout used
by default), and how to use a View Script as your form decorator in order to
have full control over your form layout.
So, if you've been playing with Zend_Form and having trouble wrapping your
head around decorators, give it a read!
