I can't seem to download the latest tute file. Do you have another link or has it been updated in another thread?
Thanks,

Which latest tute file?

concerning the above post: I think he meant the second file on the first site.

my enquiry: I like rsform and therefore your tutorial is highly appreciated.
unfortunately, although i read all the posts in this thread and spent hours
in trying to make i work, it wont.
here you can see how it looks:
www.fureader.com
(i made the rsform_css file and included it into the template_css.css by using
@import url(\"rsform_css.css\") - also i changed the formstyle like descripted and included the tabIndex=\"1\" and the additional information code in every field. i made no wrong spelling. Strange!

Would be helpful if you could give me a clue in which direction to go. I assume its on the css field.

Is your tutorial really JOOMLA 1.5 combatible?

thx for all

From post #2015, \"Styling your RSForms\". The post contains a link to download the updated tutorial for styling forms. I downloaded the original and viewed the remaining posts in the thread and was able to understand what the update was.


What other tutes are there? Would it be possible to download them from somewhere?
I need all the styling help I can get.

Thanks,

Thanks Dave, nice tutorial. I think I may have shot myself in the foot though as I have just bought in to RSForms! Pro. I am struggling to understand why there are a set of predefined templates for the forms, but no provision to customise the layout of a form. I can understand the concept of the predefined forms but to only be able to over ride them through phpmyadmin is a bit of a pain.

The forms that are included cannot be changed in any way for column width to take account of longer captions, for instance, most would use email: but if you wanted to use Email address: and add validation markings to the equation, you are looking at double lines instead on a single line of text. If I have missed something along the way, through my search of this forum, I would welcome some input on this if it is available.

Don't get me wrong, I am impressed with RSForms! Pro overall, I just find this a niggle that perhaps we could do without.

I use the Pro version as well. Though, I have to check out what you're talking about in regards to \"templates\" for forms.

You have included forms?

ok, this is getting annoying now. I have posted a long explanation with files to this post 3 times today in order to get support for a paid for application and all I get is an error message each time. Each time I am logged in so there should not be any problem at all

error message returned is


Warning: fopen(/var/www/vhosts/rsjoomla.com/htdocs/administrator/components/com_sef/logs/2008-06-sh404SEF_security_log.102.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/rsjoomla.com/htdocs/components/com_sef/sef.php on line 290

Hi Dave

I have managed to solve this problem now.

RSForm!Pro templates are in fact able to be over riden by unticking the auto generate button which in turn allows you to add custom code to the text area where the template code resides.

For some reason I can't post files or add BB code on this board without getting an error message so I am unable to share this with other users at present.

I will troubleshoot this at a later date as I am up against a deadline to get this site live.

www.fuelstat.com/devsite/contact/general-enquiries.html is the finished article though

Thanks for your potential help though, it is much appreciated.

I just downloaded RSFormPro, so perhaps something is different now, but this tutorial doesn't seem to work.

I noticed this tutorial was posted in February, so perhaps that is the case as to why it doesn't work for me. Very frustrating trying to customize the form.

Does this still work for the latest version of RSformPro? I tried everything an no matter what, I could not get it to work.

RSformPro makers. You guys should produce an up-to-date tutorial showing how easy it is to customize the look-and-feel of a form. You might sell more entensions. I'm frustrated with it at this point and ready to look at other Form enxtensions.

Pro is a new release. I just downloaded it myself.

I don't know if it works with the new version. From the looks of the features, I would say no, it won't work with Pro. Just guessing though as it seems that styling is included.

Great style guide, thanks for your time writting it up, works great for me apart from in IE7

textarea,radio,checkboxes all dont behave the way they should,

works great in firefox though!

Hi there Dniezby
I have followed your tutorial but having some issues with IE7
For some reason the help boxes are making my text input boxes jump up and down

If you can assist, would be most grateful!!

This tutorial has long expired. The new version of RSForm has styling built in.
I wish I could help more but the new version of RSForms doesn't work with my methods.

thank you for your great tutorial. it worked almost instantly!

i am hoping, though, to add an image like the one here if you can see it. an image added to the side of the form for some artistic flair.



thank you for any help!

Is it really still working? I just told someone that it wouldn't work because of the new version of RSForms.
Well...I'm glad that it did work for you.

Since it IS working for you (I'm assuming your using an older versions of RSForms) you could simply create a new set of attributes.

.formimage {
float:right;
z-index: 100;
margin-top: 100px;
}

Try something like that. Where you want the image you just use that class for the image.
<img class=\"formimage:\" src=\"yourimageurl\"></img>

thanks, bud. yes, i am still using the old version. is that OK???
take a peek:
My Form

thanks for helping. it's people like you that make this world a better place to live!

Found this thread and do understand some of the css that I need to change/edit to get my forms to look how we want. Questions is, where exactly do I go in RSForms to edit this and will it apply to all my forms as I'd like them to look uniform.

Thanks

Wouldn't it be nice to have a "tab" widget on the form creation page, as an alternative to the pagebreak, which writes the CSS for you...?

Hi

I did what you are explaining in your documentation, however my form style was not changed at all.

You wrote there :

#myform legend {....}

If my form name is : nmozjform , so instead myform I should write nmozjform ??
what does legend mean??

I also imported the css file , however nothing changed.

I need someone to give me an example of their css and tell me where to put it.
Some of these posts are 3 years old and none of the links work.
HEEELLLP!!!

Thank you.

Hello, would love to have a look at your tutorial, but the data (zip) file is not there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
