Customising form helper

gistfile1.php

<?php

// Default
<?=$this->form->text('email'); ?>
<input type="text" name="email" id="MemberEmail" value="[email protected]" />

// Custom wrapper class
<?=$this->form->field('name', array(
	'wrap' => array('class' => 'wrapper')
)); ?>

<div class="wrapper">
    <label for="MemberName">Name</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" id="MemberName" />
    <div class="error">You don't have a name?</div>
</div>

// Custom field template
<?=$this->form->field('name', array(
    'wrap' => array('class' => 'item'),
    'template' => '<li{:wrap}>{:error}{:label}{:input}</li>'
)); ?>

<li class="item">
    <div class="error">You don't have a name?</div>
    <label for="MemberName">Name</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" id="MemberName" />
</li>

// Or you can configure the helper
$this->form->config(array('templates' => array(
    'field' => "<li{:wrap}>{:error}{:label}{:input}</li>"
)));

// Customising the field id
<?
$form = $this->form;
$this->form->config(array('attributes' => array(
	'id' => function($method, $name, $options) use (&$form) {
		if ($method != 'text' && $method != 'select') {
			return;
		}
		$model = null;
		if ($binding = $form->binding()) {
			$model = basename(str_replace('\\', '/', $binding->model())) . '_';
		}
		return Inflector::underscore($model . $name);
	}
)));

<input type="text" name="email" id="member_email" value="[email protected]" />
