Form Field Styling

Dino3

What has happened to the "Form Field Styling" option in the Configuration > General (Display) section of DT Register 4.2.6? I've recently done a fresh install of the DT Register component on my development server but the front end form fields look terrible compared to my live site and screen shots on your website!
If the option no longer exists, can you tell me where to find the documentation to change the way my forms look please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dino,

Kindly share screenshot of the issue as I check with this version at my local but the tab : Configuration > General shows normally.

Hi Saguaros,

Thanks for getting back to me ... I have attached the following screenshots:

This screenshot (01-backend-config) shows what my current backend looks like under the CONFIG > GENERAL tab with fields shown under "DISPLAY" on the right side of the loaded page.

This screenshot (02-your-config-guide) is a screenshot of the help files/online guides, looking at the same tab and section as above. Note that this has an additional field called "Form Field Styling" which is not on the above. I assumed this is where it takes the styling for the front end form from.

This screenshot (03-new-frontend-form) shows what the frontend form on my test server looks like. It looks like a VB database input form and pretty ugly in my opinion (some may argue!).

This screenshot is taken from my live site using and older version of the Component (v. 4.1.0) which has been updated annually over the past 5 or more years.

My ambition is to have the frontend looking more like the last screenshot but, for the life of me, I don't know where to look and I cannot find any guides on styling the frontend.

I hope this makes sense!

Hi Dino,

Somehow, I missed this topic, we've released new version 4.2.7 last week, could you install latest version for your test site and see how it goes?

If there is any issue, pls share the credentials of that site, I will check for you.

I have the 4.2.7 version and can't see the Display styling feature. The registration form on my site is also very ugly. Could you please tell us how can we style it manually at least? (While you come up with a new version that truly comes with the feature?)

Pls help to create a new topic and share the credentials of your site so I can check what's wrong on your site.
