Checkbox titles missing with Bootstrap theme

Thanks for the patch. This fixed the title missing issue I was having in Bootstrap.

I was experiencing the same issue with Bootstrap-based theme: labels were missing entirely (see attached screenshot). This is because a) Entityreference View Widget is adding the as markup to the #field_suffix, and b) Bootstrap does a bunch of HTML alterations to make the markup better suited for the Bootstrap CSS + JS.

As far as I can tell, the only reason that the label is being added to #field_suffix is to handle the "Display the rendered entity" use-case, where the entire entity is rendered as the label, instead of just the entity title.

That means, however, that the patch above will break the "Display the rendered entity" option. Because you can't stick the whole entity into a form element title.

Attached is a new patch that conditionally adds EITHER a #title, or a #field_prefix, depending on whether or not "Display the rendered entity" is checked. So this should handle both cases gracefully.

Even though i'm not sure why the bootstrap theme isn't rendering the field_suffix the same problem occurs when rendering the whole entity on the field_suffix. A possible fix is to render the entity on the #title but that doesn't sound right.

i have the same issue with bootstrap theme. it can't render "Display the rendered entity" when we define at field config view entityreference_view_widget can i do some modify with theme bootstrap?

I found themes/bootstrap/templates/system/form-element.func.php
bootstrap_form_element(&$variables)
this function don't add $build['element']['#suffix'] = $element['#field_suffix'];

so we can replace '#field_suffix' by '#suffix'

any update on this?

Same problem.
First patch worked for me. Patch #2 fixed the title problem but didn't save the values.

fix-title.patch works for me.

fix-title.patch works for me also

as #4 say changing to #suffix from #field_suffix is better than checking the entity like the patch #2
line 459 change #field_suffix to #suffix will fix this

My solution was similar to fix-title.patch.

+1 #9

just add some css

#YOURTABLEID tr td .form-item {
  position: relative; 
  float: left;
  padding-right:10px;
}

fix-title.patch
it is working for me

well, attaching its reroll of fix-title.patch

I prefer the patch in comment #2. Works well for me. Thanks @m.stenta!

Thanks to sudishth for patch #13 that is enough for me to bring back checkbox title (Drupal 7.56, Boostrap Theme 7.x-3.14 and Entity Reference View Widget 7.x-2.0-rc7)

A new alter hook has been added (hook_entityreference_view_widget_rows_alter()), once implemented, you could loop over the rows and alter the #title and unset #field_suffix if necessary.

Indeed! I've used the hook with this code to get the correct label:

function YOURMODULE_entityreference_view_widget_rows_alter(&$rows, $entities, $settings) {
  foreach (element_children($rows) as $key => $child) {
    if ($rows[$key]['target_id']['#type'] == 'checkbox') {
      $rows[$key]['target_id']['#title'] = $rows[$key]['target_id']['#field_suffix'];
    }
  }  
}

Can confirm that with the new version (2.1) and implementing @lelivero's hook in comment #18 above the issue is fixed for me! Thanks everyone!

Solution in #18 works, thanks @lelivero

As i have understood it, field_suffix is for rendering things after the actual field.
Therefore, for me #13 doesnt make me happy and therefore i apply this patch which only adds the
title row from fix-title.patch but doesnt remove the field_suffix row.
Works fine for me.

Thanks @Liveiro ! ...for #18 wokrs fine in template.php
