I am using a cck group (appears as "Standard group" under "type" in the form definition for "manage fields") to group together some cck fields in a node. I want to know if there is a way to theme this group.

I know that we can theme the individual fields as described in http://drupal.org/node/269319#comment-911336. But is there a way to theme the cck group? Is using something like content-field-[GROUP_NAME].tpl.php supposed to work? (It does not work for me right now but I do not know if it is a problem at my end).

If this does not work, is it possible to include this feature in future releases?

Here is a scenario where it can be very useful: I would alter the display of each of the fields based on the collective information in the fields.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
iyer

Oops! I got the answer: I should use:

fieldgroup-simple-[groupname].tpl.php

Sounds good. I also encountered this problem. But how do you do with the template.php? Do you need to add a function like template_group() to pass the parameter to the template file?

fieldgroup-simple-[groupname].tpl.php not working for me... :( I need to add the original fieldgroup-simple.tpl.php in my theme folder I suppose....

Hi,

I don't know if that post should be here, but I need the following:

I have some group fields in a content type, and I need to put some fields from each group field in the same line.

I'm trying to do that following that example: http://drupal.org/node/601646 but it doesn't work

So, my field group is called "group_header_invoice" and I created the fieldgroup-simple-[group_header_invoice].tpl.php and the fieldgroup-simple.tpl.php (from this module).

Even using fieldgroup-simple-group_header_invoice.tpl.php the group field doesn't work. I put all this files in my theme folder.

my question is: what code I need to put in the fieldgroup-simple-group_header_invoice.tpl.php? Or, Do I have to put the code inside the fieldgroup-simple.tpl.php?

I think I need to add a reference or similar in the template.php file, isn't it?

Thanks

Well,

the best solution (at the moment) is do it using CSS.

template files (sample.tpl.php) are always found in the module folder of what you are themeing but I also can not get this to work. I have copied "fieldgroup-simple.tpl.php" to my theme folder also copied it and renamed the copy to "fieldgroup-simple-[group-machine-name].tpl.php" with no success with either file.

So my theme folder contains:
fieldgroup-simple.tpl.php
fieldgroup-simple-group_blnc.tpl.php

But the files have no effect.

Any suggestions

If it helps, I had the same issue until I read:
http://creativecss.co.uk/blog/cck-fieldgroups-drupal6

The key was to go into the Display Fields area of the content type admin at
admin/content/node-type/[your-type]/display
and set the display to 'simple' in the dropdown box alongside the group heading for teaser and/or full node display as you require.

Without doing this the default is 'fieldset' which does not use the 'fieldgroup-simple' template, preprocess functions etc.

For me - this issue could be marked as closed.
