Section: Form data display (simple)
| « Displaying the form in a template | ^ jForms: automatic forms | 
− Table of content
With jForms, you can also display not the form but only its data. It can be useful as a reporting of input steps for example.
Automatic or default display ¶
For you in hurry, this template plugin will fully display your form data. its name: formfull. With it, you won't control how each controls labels and values are displayed. Just pass it your form object.
Here is an example, in a controller :
    $form = jForms::get('myform');
    $tpl = new jTpl();
    $tpl->assign('form', $form);
Et dans le template :
   <h1>Your form</h1>
   <p>Your inputs:</p>
   {formdatafull $form}
Form labels and values are displayed in a table.
Note : you can use formdatafull in a text response template.
Customized display ¶
As for form display, you can control how your form data are displayed and precisely in which markup labels and values are wrapped.
Use {formcontrols} and {ctrl_label} plugins similarly to form display and also {ctrl_value} :
   <h1>Your form</h1>
   <p>Your inputs:</p>
   <table>
    {formcontrols $form}
       <tr>
           <th scope="row">{ctrl_label}</th>
           <td>{ctrl_value}</td>
       </tr>
    {/formcontrols}
    </table>
Note: {form} is not needed here as oppposed to complete form display .
You are also free to not use {formcontrols} loops, and display only your labels and values of choice, in which ever order. To achieve this, use {ctrl_label} and {ctrl_value} and call them with your selected control names. But they msut be used inside a {formdata} plugin:
   <h1>Your form</h1>
   <p>Your inputs:</p>
   <table>
    {formdata $form}
       <tr>
           <th>{ctrl_label 'name'}</th>
           <td>{ctrl_value 'name'}</td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
           <th>{ctrl_label 'address'}</th>
           <td>{ctrl_value 'address'}</td>
       </tr>
    {/formdata}
    </table>
