@macigniter : Another consideration is to include jQuery validate plugins into Form library! I thought about this lastnight. Although Form_Validation and File_Upload class in CI is quite good, it will take extra routine to validate the data across client and server. I just think about add some jQuery magic into Form Gen too.
Also, when implement the populate($data) function, I see the $form->set_value() can only set value for text, password and hidden fields, not for checkbox, radio and select. I changed:
Code:
function set_value($name = '', $value = '')
{
if ($this->_last_accessed && !$value) {
if (!$name) show_error(FGL_ERR . 'set_value: No value specified');
$value = $name;
$el = $this->_last_accessed;
} else {
if (!$name) show_error(FGL_ERR . 'set_value: No element name specified');
if (!$value) show_error(FGL_ERR . 'set_value: No value specified');
$el = $this->_el_get_unique($name);
}
if ($el) {
switch ($this->$el->atts['type']){
case 'select':
$this->$el->selected = $this->_make_array($value);
break;
case 'checkbox':
case 'radio':
$this->$el->atts['checked'] = (in_array($this->$el->atts['value'], $this->_make_array($value))) ? TRUE : FALSE;
break;
case 'submit':
case 'reset':
$this->$el->atts['value'] = $value;
break;
case 'password':
$this->$el->atts['value'] = '';
break;
default:
$this->$el->atts['value'] = $value;
break;
}

I have to say again the library is awsome. I've alredy used it on a couple project without any problems. Soon it's gonna be used on the slovenian Cesar and Sheeba sites
Integration with the jQuery validation plugin would be very nice. It would eliminate 1 step for my every form, since I'm using the plugin everywhere.

Although I personally use jQuery and love it I don't want to add anything more besides reCaptcha that makes users force to use any tool or script. I'm sure there's tons of people out there that use other JavaScript frameworks and you simply cannot respect everybody's preferences.
I'm sure that the Form Generation Library gives developers enough to work with and implement JS validation easily without any core modifications to the library.

I like to hear that you have succesfully implemented the library into your commercial projects. Have you considered giving back by buying the author a beer? ;-)
About the jQuery plugin... I'll think about it...

@everyone
Guys, lots of you are using the library for a while now and since I am terribly busy I would love you to help me out in completing the user guide. Please feel free to create the missing pages as good as you can and send them to my private email address [info at frankmichel dot com]. You can download the template here.
Please please please help me to finally finish the user guide so everyone can take good use of it!!

Thanks for noticing. It'll be changed with the next version. I have implemented all changes now and am testing the new features before I'll release the new version along with the change notes.
Again I would LOOOOOOOOVE if someone would help me with the user guide :-)

@macigniter: Sorry, but my writing is not good enough to help you with the user guide.
I add populate() function to help fill in the data automatically. This is very useful in modify() function in CRUD based controller.
Code:
function populate($values)
{
if (is_array($values))
foreach($values as $el => $value) {
if ($value && ! empty($this->$el)) {
switch ($this->$el->atts['type']){
case 'select':
$this->$el->selected = $this->_make_array($value);
break;
case 'checkbox':
case 'radio':
$this->$el->atts['checked'] = (in_array($this->$el->atts['value'], $this->_make_array($value))) ? TRUE : FALSE;
break;
case 'submit':
case 'reset':
$this->$el->atts['value'] = $value;
break;
case 'password':
$this->$el->atts['value'] = '';
break;
default:
$this->$el->atts['value'] = $value;
break;
}
}
}
return $this;

What bit do you need help with? I'm really behind with some stuff at the moment but would love to help back as a donation.
