Re: [fw-mvc] Adding * to label

Is there a way we could integrate this to the framework ? I'm pretty sure everyone would benefit from a nice little patch that would add * to all required fields.

Hi there

I managed to get this done subclassing Zend_Form and overriding the render() method:

public function render(Zend_View_Interface $view = null)
{
    foreach ($this->getElements() as $element) {
        $label = $element->getDecorator('Label');
        if ($label instanceof Zend_Form_Decorator_Label) {
            $label->setOption('requiredSuffix', ' <span>*</span>')
                  ->setOption('escape', false);
        }
    }

    return parent::render($view);
}
