How to display HTML fields in Edit Entry mode

[katw]

I have a number of HTML fields acting as visual dividers between form sections.

Edit Entry mode does not display them.

Is there a way to make them visible in Edit mode?

Hi Ally,

I have found a solution that works. But that involved copying the following code from entries/view.php to entries/edit.php.

if ($element instanceof Quform_Element_Html) {
    if ($element->config('showInEntry')) {
        echo sprintf('<tr class="qfb-entry-row-html"><td colspan="2">%s</td></tr>', $element->getContent());
    }

    continue;
}

I inserted it after LINE 30 which is: <?php foreach ($form->getRecursiveIterator() as $element) : ?>

Not a pretty hack but seemed to solve my immediate needs.

BTW both the Entry View and Edit View is inserting colspan="2" for Group and HTML elements when your current table layout is only ever one column wide.

Yes I can see a use case for HTML and without HTML fields.

In my case I was using the HTML fields for delimiters/dividers between form sections therefore it made sense to have them in admin mode.

I suppose it would be hard to write a hook to allow you to insert html between field elements in admin view/edit mode?

With say a after element_ID parameter. Much like CSS :Before and :After.
