[web2py] Re: changing the look of a form

[Paolo Caruccio]

Login form like all web2py forms has an argument 'formstyle' that can take 
following values

'table3cols', 'table2cols', 'divs', 'ul' and 'bootstrap'

Latter is not documented.
Therefore, for login form simply apply in your controller (or also in 
model) but before auth.form call

auth.settings.formstyle = 'bootstrap'

and web2py will render the html of the form as bootstrap one without 
manually adding any code.

In order to change the form's look a simple way is:

# in controller
form = SQLFORM(...)

if isinstance(form, FORM):
 form['_class'] = 'new-look'

return dict(form=form)

 Now you are able to change the look via new-look css class

somersaults ? Login form is just a normal form containing 2 fields, 
username (or email) and password, and an optional "remember me". Edit the 
default/user.html and you're good to go.
Anyway, the part on custom forms is a little later on the chapter.

You're going to have to change the style via CSS. If it's an inbuilt form 
in web2py like the login one, good luck :P you will have to use the custom 
form widgets and do a bunch of somersaults. Try following this guide, it 
may help:
