Tableless Output

I'd also like to know if this is possible. as it is right now, this module is useless to us because the generated table is about 3x wider than my widescreen monitor, and obviously can't fit our page design.

this would really be a welcome addition to the module.

Last night I messed around with this a little bit, and was able to get it to work. It's not a proper patch, nor is it well tested, but it does seem to do the trick.

File: editview.theme.inc, starting at line 100:

<?php>
  return theme('table', $header, array($row), array('class' => 'editview-row')) . $buttons;
?>

Change to:

<?php>
  return theme('item_list', $row) . $buttons;
?>

The result is an unordered list, with each form item inside an <li> tag.

In editview.css, there's some css that hides the labels for the form items, you'll need to override this accordingly in your own CSS:

.editview-field .form-item label,
.editview-field .form-item .description,
.editview-field fieldset legend {
  display: none;
}

We just changed all of these to display: inline since that works for our purposes.

Again, not heavily tested but it does seem to do the trick. It'd be great to have the option to choose table or list modes for form display.

Here's a patch that does the above:

The table layout will have to remain as you don't want to go backwards and lose existing functionality.

An option will have to be presented to the user when they select to use an editview view that allows them to choose which format to use.
Then we need different templates for each format.

Could you please implement this feature in the next version?
In my case display style "table" is not very useful, I fixed it only by using CSS (display:list-style;) this works, but it's not very clean.

Would be great to be able to switch between list-style, table-style and maybe unformatted also.

//Edit: Oh and.. thank you very, very much for the module at all! It's soooo useful.

With kind regards,
Thomas
