Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Manipulates the order of form description and input elements, and optionally make the description collapsible. This is useful to unclutter node forms with a lot of long descriptions.

This module is two-fold:

  • Fields and fieldgroup has options for changing the input/description order, and making the description toggable
  • The Form API is extended with two new attributes
    #description_above
    Move the description before the input element
    #toggle_description
    Makes the description collapsible using a button to toggle it

    Use these whenever you're altering or creating forms and want to manipulate the descriptions.

Usage

Enable the module and configure fields and fieldgroups in the content type field management interface. Add a nice, long description for the fields and make the description toggable in the Element Shuffle fieldgroup of the field.
