For handbook: Theming flexinode at all levels: possible solutions

this is for phptemplate!

-----------------------------------------

to theme flexinode at the node level:

--use this patch first (although i'm not entirely sure if it is needed....)

--create in you theme directory node-flexinode-x.tpl.php files where x is the id of the flexinode type. copy the contents of node.tpl.php, insert into your new file(s) and modify to you liking.

------------------------------------------

to theme the different types of fields: (=> all fields of the same type will look the same)

--use this tutorial

--note that this involves creating in your theme directory flexinode_fieldtype.tpl.php fles, where fieldtype is e.g. textfield

------------------------------------------

to theme all the fields separately, by field id:

--after you created your flexinode_fieldtype.tpl.php file, create if statements for each field you want to theme separately

e.g. my flexinode_textfield.tpl.php looks something like this

<div class="flexinode-textfield-<?php print $field_id; ?>">
<span class="form-item">
<?php if ($field_id == 29): ?>(<?php print $formatted_value; ?>)
<?php elseif ($field_id == 51): ?><label><?php print $label; ?>:</label><?php print $formatted_value; ?>
...etc.
<?php endif; ?>
</span>
</div>
