Re: [fw-mvc] How To Extend Zend_Form_Element ?

You may be able to do that using the built-in HtmlTag decorator. It allows you to add any number of HTML tags to your element.

See this page for more info: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.form.standardDecorators.html#zend.form.standardDecorators.htmlTag

Hi, 
 Ok, thank you !
 I was creating a decorator for my forms elements to create tooltips for elements description to have something like that
<div class="description">
  <div class="title">tooltip Title</div>
  <div class="message">tooltip message (the description attribute ok the element)</div>
</div>
 But i want the developper to define his own title, so i would like to override the setDescription() method to accept Array or objects parameter.
 The setDescription method in ZF casts the parameter to string so if i pass an array the value of the description attribute is Array.
 Maybe if i use objects and use the __toString() magic method.
 If you have other ideas ... you're welcome !

ps : Excuse me for my english !

Not that I know of. All form elements extends Zend_Form_Element, so you'll either need to update Zend_Form_Element itself or change the class that all elements extend from.

What kind of functionality are you looking to add? Maybe there is another way around this limitation, or maybe it could be useful for other developers and added to the framework itself.
