join form html location

Can anyone tell me where the html is called for the join form? I basically want to combine the div's of the label and text box into one, the posted image shows them split.

Thanks jay, but that's not quite what I am looking for...

I want to apply css that would highlight both the label and the text box when the user has focus on it. I have the css code, just need to pull out a couple div's from the join form and I can't find where it is stored.

It may not be as easy as I am thinking though, tried to apply the same code to the login form, but my changes to login_form.html are not taking effect for some reason??

Back to top - anyone happen to have additional insight for me?

Thanks,

Shawn

I can already tell you it will not be as easy as editing an html file.

Dolphin has the flexibility of allowing you to set up additional join form fields. As such there is no static page for a join form. In order to allow for that kind of flexibility to be able to add and remove join form fields from a config page in admin, the join form must be dynamically generated from the form field information stored in the database, thus the form is generated by code on the fly, so source code changes will most likely be required to achieve what you want.

But off the top of my head, i have no idea what script generates the join form, so i will have to find it.

Thanks for some clarification deano, it makes a lot more sense now as far as the join form goes. I might just have to find a new way to manipulate the template i've been building to get the effect I'm looking for.

I am still stuck on the login form however, as this one does appear to have an editable .html template. I made my changes, flushed the caches (local, server, databases, etc) and can't get the changes to take :(. I have tried to just add some additional text as a test, but can't even get that to display. The file I am trying to work with is templatesbaselogin_form.html. Tried adding it to my custom template and changing it under the base folder with no luck.

Its the templates/base/page_81.html

If that's true, then it appears i'm even more SOL than I thoght! :)

I've been going through a lot of these page_##.html files trying to figure out what each one belongs to. Do they have a more descriptive mapping for these files anywhere?

In response to locating the HTML pages that are used by each template, it generally works like this.

For non-module pages, open the main php file.  For this example, let's open the file named help.php

At the top of this file, you will see a line of code that says something like:

$_page['name_index']     = 17;

This means that this template uses the template file:

templates/base/page_17.html

But for the sake of being devil's advocate, let's say that when you go to this particular file in the templates/base directory, the html file that it wants to use doesn't exist.  Well, then in all likelihood, the help.php file will simply default to using the file named "templates/base/default.html"

Now, since I don't advise editing the default file because several other pages will ultimately have to default to this page and will reflect your changes to it, I would actually create a page named "page_17.html" and place it in the templates/yourtemplatename/page_17.html directory.   At this point when the help.php file looks for it, it will be there and it will use this file instead of the default.html file.  Be sure to copy the code from the default.html file and place it in this particular file.  This will bring in the necessary elements to make the file actual work with the language keys.

An interesting thing that you may have noticed is that I didn't say put it in the templates/base directory.  Although you CAN do this and it WILL work, I generally make it a habit to put all of my custom/customized template files in the folder of my actual template.  Dolphin is designed to use this file instead of the ones in the templates/base folder if they exist.  This works the same way for the css files.

If you decided that you would like to do this same type of thing to the module files (sounds, photos, videos, etc).  Go to modules/boonex/modulename such as modules/boonex/photos and the template file will be modules/boonex/photos/templates/base/page_49.html.  Most of the modules pretty much have this same structure.  The CSS directory/files for the module pages are also located in the this templates directory.

Hope this helps.
