Overview -------- Webform supports theming similar to the Flexinode or Views modules. Any webform may be themed on the server side, though doing so may require a reasonable amount of knowledge about the Drupal Forms API. More information about the Forms API may be found at http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/topics/forms_api.html Theme submission emails ----------------------- The default emails sent by webform are fairly basic. If you like, you may customize the display of emails sent by each individual webform. This tutorial assumes use of the phptemplate engine. - Open your template.php file located in your theme's directory. - Add the following lines of php code: function phptemplate_webform_mail_message_[node id here]($form_values, $node, $sid, $cid) { return _phptemplate_callback('webform-mail-[node id here]', array('form_values' => $form_values, 'node' => $node, 'sid' => $sid, 'cid' => $cid)); } - Create a new file in your theme's directory named "webform-mail-[node id here].tpl.php", once again replacing [node id here] with the node ID of the webform. - Open up your new file and customize the webform email. Here's a simple template to get you started: Company X Official Website Submission Message was submitted From the IP address The user's favorite color is The user's problem is below: - To get a better idea of what variables are available to you, you can include the print_r function in your email. Simply include the line: to get a listing of all the available fields you can use in your mail. - An Important Note for Webform Themers: When webform added support for fieldsets (i.e. nested fields), it became necessary to increase the complexity of themed emails. Previously, the $form_values variable only sent the values of the form in a flat array. Now, $form_values contains two arrays of information: $form_values['submitted'] => An array of fields and their submitted values (identical to the previous value of $form_values) $form_values['submitted_tree'] => An array of fields and their values structured in a recursive array - Advanced Webform e-mail Theming: Theming the e-mail headers may also be done by overriding the theme_webform_mail_headers() function from webform.module. Just copy the code out of webform.module and change as necessary in your template.php file. This allows you to customize the e-mail headers. Theme the confirmation page --------------------------- After a user submits a webform, they are directed to a page that contains the confirmation message set in the webform node settings (assuming the form doesn't direct to a complete URL). These instructions let you customize the format of the confirmation page of a single node or all webforms on your site. - Open your template.php file located in your theme's directory. - Add the following lines of php code: function phptemplate_webform_confirmation_[node id here]($node, $sid) { return _phptemplate_callback('webform-confirmation-[node id here]', array('node' => $node, 'sid' => $sid)); } - Create a new file in your theme's directory named "webform-confirmation-[node id here].tpl.php", once again replacing [node id here] with the node ID of the webform. - Open the new file and change it's contents to the your liking. Here's an example that inserts some additional HTML around the confirmation message and gives links to edit the submission.
- You can make this apply to all webforms by using this function in template.php function phptemplate_webform_confirmation($node, $sid) { return _phptemplate_callback('webform-confirmation', array('node' => $node, 'sid' => $sid)); } - Note that the [node id here] has simply been removed to make it work with all webform nodes. Theme display of an entire webform ---------------------------------- Theming a webform can be useful for rearranging elements or customizing the appearance of multiple components at once. This tutorial assumes usage of the phptemplate engine. - Open your template.php file located in your theme's directory. - Add the following lines of php code: function phptemplate_webform_form_[node id here] ($form) { return _phptemplate_callback('webform_form_[node id here]', array('form' => $form)); } - Replace "[node id here]" with the node ID of the form. - Create a new file in your theme's directory named "webform-form-[node id here].tpl.php", once again replacing [node id here] with the node ID of the webform. - Open up your new file and customize the webform however you like. Here's an example putting a field with the "email" key inside of another fieldset. 'fieldset', ); // Move the form field labeled "email" to the new fieldset $form['submitted']['newfieldset']['email'] = $form['submitted']['email']; unset($form['submitted']['email']); print drupal_render($form); ?> - All webform forms have 2 main fieldsets: "submitted", and "details". Although you may move things around as you wish, keep all your components within the "submitted" fieldset. Only the "submitted" fieldset is displayed and webform depends on the other two to operate properly, so don't mess with them unless you have good reason to do so (like you're forwarding your webform to a custom PHP or PERL script). $Id: THEMING.txt,v 1.8.2.4.2.7 2008-09-06 06:07:54 quicksketch Exp $
