[jira] [Created] (WW-3749) Extend form tag to support multiple
column span
Extend form tag to support multiple column span
-----------------------------------------------
Key: WW-3749
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3749
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin - Tags
Affects Versions: 2.3.1.1, 2.3.1
Reporter: Daniele Armellini
Priority: Minor
It would be nice to support forms with input elements that have multiple column span.
A good starting point can be this very nice tutorial by Mark Menard: [http://www.vitarara.org/cms/struts_2_cookbook/creating_a_theme]
I know that this can be achieved by template creation and tweaking but I think that supporting this feature by default could be really useful.

Ciao Daniele,
as you pointed out there are different ways to achieve what you're looking for (in addition to template, you can use the simple theme and build the form as you prefer).
Let's see the other comments.

Dave Newton commented on WW-3749:
---------------------------------
FWIW, I have maybe 3-6 large-ish S2 apps, all use either the default theme or the simple theme w/ only trivial modifications to support forms with more a more horizontally-oriented layout.
The needs of "non-trivial" projects vary wildly. Capturing that in a generic way is problematic.
Patches welcome.

---------------------------------
I'm not sure this should be in the core distro.
It might make sense to have a sample app that shows some theming possibilities, though, perhaps as part of showcase or a standalone demo. (I think showcase is too big.)

---------------------------------------
Thank you for your comments,
My point in opening this request is that I think that a form layout with only two columns (with label-input in every row) is totally useless in any non trivial project.
Keeping this layout as the only one available in Struts 2 is like forcing users to implements their own layout since the standard xhtml can't display decently more than three or four fields.
I think that a basic multi-column layout should be available out-of-the-box.
