Hi,

I have a page generated by views with many exposed forms. These forms allowed users to search for users by age, sex, height, weight etc by using Views Relationships.

The form works great however, they look quite messy. While I think I can use CSS to make it look nicer, I wonder if there is a way to group the forms within Views or with help of some related modules. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thank you.

You could write now a exposed form plugin, which does this.

Title: How to organize views exposed forms » Any plugin documentation

I've seen this response a few times -- 'you could write your own form plugin' (eg. http://drupal.org/node/548332)

A plugin, ok, but no reference to any helpful information beyond that.

I see the plugin development thread here : http://drupal.org/node/535868

Does that mean it's just for 7.x ? Or if it's also available in 6.x is it only in the -dev ? Is there any starter documentation about this at all ?

Any tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise it's a useless and frustrating pointer.

It's like suggesting someone take the subway to get somewhere, but not answering how to get to the subway from here.
Or you can get ___ at this location x. Where's x?? >silence<

Silence without the suggestion would be a lot less frustrating.

The problem is, that there is no real documentation currently, beside the documentation in code. The pluggable exposed form exists in 3.x, for drupal6 and drupal7.

I suggest you to have a look at the existing plugins: views_plugin_exposed_form_basic.inc for example.
