Subform Requirements

All subforms have a number of required settings. A list of the current required settings for subforms follows:

• view_state - the default view state (min or max)
• edit_state - the default edit state (edit or entry or view)
• sf_nav_type - how to display the navigation in the subform (none, full, name, nmedit, nmmm, nmeditmm) - see below for details
• sf_title - this is the nickname of markup to display in the title bar of the sf
• sf_html_id - the form id tag (must be unique)
• script - the script to use on this subform

It is important when creating subforms to also insert the corresponding markup into ARK (the sf_title). This can be accomplished using the Markup Administration tools.

sf_nav_type

This variable controls how the navigation bar for each subform will be displayed. These are as follows:

• none - Nothing will be displayed, no div will be used
• full - Uses a div containing: The Title (h4) (markup), Edit options, Min Max options, arrows to move the sf around
• name - Uses a div containing only the title (h4)
• nmedit - Uses a div containing the title of the sf (h4) plus edit options
• nmmm - Uses a div containing the title of the sf (h4) plus min-max options
• nmeditmm - Uses a div containing the title of the sf (h4) plus edit options plus min-max options

Example

'view_state' => 'max',
'edit_state' => 'edit',
'sf_nav_type' => 'none',
'sf_title' => 'projection', //appears in the titlebar of the subform (mk nname)
'sf_html_id' => 'fst_cd_projection', //the form id tag (must be unique)
'script' => 'php/mod_fst/subforms/monument.php',
