{formbreakbottom:part_name1:part_name2:...}

Description

Splits a slice item input form into tabbed parts and puts the tab switcher at the bottom of the form. Place it in the inputform template between the fields of one tab and the next; it marks the boundary. The colon-separated arguments are optional names for the tabs that follow the break - useful above all for naming the last tab, which has no break of its own. It prints nothing: its only effect is on how the admin add and edit form is laid out, so outside an inputform it produces empty output. Related: formbreaktop puts the switcher at the top, formbreak puts it at both top and bottom, and formpart prints the number of the current part.

Parameters

part_name optional default (none - tab shows as Part N)

Optional label for the tab that starts after this break. You can list several names separated by colons; they label this tab and the tabs after the following breaks, in order. Naming the last tab is the common case, since it has no break of its own. Omit a name and the tab is labelled Part N automatically.

Examples

test[{formbreakbottom:Details}]

Expected[]

Actual[]

Whatever arguments you give it, formbreakbottom prints nothing. Its only job is to mark a boundary in the input form; the brackets here just show that the result is empty.

testBefore{formbreakbottom:Contacts}After

ExpectedBeforeAfter

ActualBeforeAfter

The break does not consume or move the text around it - it only inserts a tab boundary at that spot. The surrounding text renders unchanged.

virtual{formbreakbottom:Body:Media:Notes}

Expected(empty output; names this tab Body and the next two tabs Media and Notes, with the tab bar shown at the bottom of the editor)

Pass several colon-separated names to label this tab and the tabs that follow. This is the usual way to name the final tab, which has no break of its own. Output is still empty; the effect is on the editor layout.

virtual{formbreakbottom:Related links}

Expected(empty output; in the item editor a new tab named Related links begins here and the tab switcher is drawn below the form)

Placed inside a slice input form template between two groups of fields, this starts a new tab named Related links and tells the editor to draw the tab switcher below the form. Replace formbreakbottom with formbreaktop for a top switcher, or formbreak for both.
