hi there,

I have this function to generate a registration form:

public function getFrontendFields() {
	$fields = $this->scaffoldFormFields(array(
		'restrictFields' => array(
			'Anrede',
			'FirstName',
			'Surname',
			'Email',
			'Geburtsdatum',
		),
		'fieldClasses' => array(
			'Email' => 'EmailField',
		)
	));
	
	return $fields;
	
}

so, first problem:
on the page the ordering of the fields is not the same, the ordering is:

FirstName,
Surname,
Email,
Anrede (Salutation in German),
Geburtsdatum (Birthday in German)

how can I order the fields? for example the salutation should be on first place :-)

next question:

how can I implement a CompositeDateField for my birthday field?
If I would generate a normal form I would use:

$geburtsdatum = new CompositeDateField(
	'Geburtstag',
	'Geburtstag (Tag, Monat,Jahr)','','1910-2009'
);

how can I implement this into my getFrontendFields Code?

thanx

Daniel

hi,

I have the solution ... (thx 2 ajshort from silverstripe irc channel)

field ordering:

$fields->changeFieldOrder(array(
			'Anrede',
			'FirstName',
			'Surname',
			'Email',
			'Geburtsdatum'
		));

replaceing fields:

$geburtsdatum = new CompositeDateField(
			'Geburtstag',
			'Geburtstag (Tag, Monat, Jahr)','','1910-2009'
		);
		
		$fields->replaceField('Geburtsdatum',$geburtsdatum);
