Form Generation Library

[eluser]macigniter[/eluser]
I just finished the next big version change of the library. There are lots of fixed and new features included in this major upgrade.

The config setting for $break_after was completely substituted by a smart and easy to configure prefix/suffix templating system which I am sure meets everyone's requirements for integrating the library with scripting languages or CSS frameworks.

I also added the support for calling multiple models.

Also, rules can now be pre-defined in the configuration file and can even be wrapped around other rules called later in the hierarchy.

Code:

// this config setting would always wrap 'trim|required' and 'xss_clean' around any other rules supplied with the ->text() method

$config['defaults'] = array(
   'text' => array(
      'rules' => 'trim|required^xss_clean'    // ^ will be substituted with rules defined later in the hierarchy
   )
);

// default rules will be wrapped like this:
// 'trim|required|callback_valid_zip|xss_clean'
$this->form->text('zip', 'Zip Code', 'callback_valid_zip');

Oh and whoever struggled with checkgroups/checkboxes or radiogroups will now finally have the chance to precisely configure the behaviour of these elements regarding label positioning and label attributes (for CSS).

More soon... gotta get some sleep now. Will do some testing tomorrow and then hopefully releasing the next version before christmas!
