Multiple Entry Field in a grid? was created by edmundcheong

Do you think it is possible to place some fields in a grid? Perhaps using the code field and calling a cb_fullname. For example in the image below:

Create multiple fields then simply use CSS to make them display side by side. Each field has it's own div container that you can style. Right click and inspect element on the field to review its HTML structure and see what CSS classes and IDs are available. No there is no configuration/layout tool that we provide for doing this, but you can look into CB Profile Pro which might be able to help with what you want.

Any sample on how do we use the CSS? do we load it at auto action? I am assuming if we do it like that, the whole profile page will be divided to 4 (as an example), where else I would like to maintain the top 3 fields of the forms to be in a single column and the bottom part, the fields are divided to 4..

CB Profile Pro, I have read about it.. looks like a Community Builder hack? is it official an Joomlapolis product? or I might be getting problems if the CB core is updated?

The below example makes the 3 (new password, verify password, current password) fields show side by side.

#cbfr_51 {
	display: inline-block;
	width: 33.33333333%;
}

#cbfr_51__verify {
	display: inline-block;
	width: 33.33333333%;
}

#cbfr_51__current {
	display: inline-block;
	width: 33.33333333%;
}

Custom CSS can be added using CSS overrides shown below.

If they're still modifying core files instead of using the trigger I've implemented for them then yes it's basically a hack unfortunately.

is it official an Joomlapolis product?

No.

or I might be getting problems if the CB core is updated?

Possibly, I can't guarantee a product we didn't create. Others have had various success with it. It does allow you to do what you're wanting without knowing how to write CSS though.
