It lets the admin drag-and-drop the fields of any CCK content type into a desired position.

This makes it super simple to have forms with inline fields, which the admin can change at any point.

Tab indexing is also updated, so no matter how the fields are arranged, the users can still tab through them easily.

Installation:

Unpack in your modules folder (usually '/sites/all/modules/')
Enable under Administer > Site Building > Modules
To begin arranging fields, visit Administer -> Content Types (the link "Arrange form fields" is at the top of the page, as a tab). You can also select "manage fields" for a content type, and then there will be a new tab at the top of this page as well.

Features:

  • Drag and drop fields into any arrangement you want. Makes web-forms look more like pen-and-paper forms.
  • Resize textfields and textareas by dragging.
  • Edit CCK configurations for each field (required, help text, allowed values, etc) in a popup without having to leave the page.

What is new in this release:

  • Added in some extra per-form CSS, so you may have more than one webform block on the screen at a time. In reference to issue #1010044: Multiple forms on a page.

Requirements:

  • Drupal 6.x

Limitations:

  • This module does not work so well with fields with "unlimited" as their number of values.
  • Fields within fieldsets cannot be arranged (yet). But, the fieldset itself can be re-arranged.
  • jQuery is used to properly specify the height of the container div on the node/edit page, after you have arranged fields. As such, the person editing the form will need javascript enabled in order for it to show up correctly. (If anyone out there knows a better way to do this, please open an issue!)
  • Field positions will not change the node view page for the created content. That information will still be displayed the traditional way (straight down the page). This may be something that gets fixed in the future.
