Add Some HTML to Zend Forms

Add some html to Zend Forms

The only way I can think of at the moment is to add a dummy element to the form and remove all decorators except an 'HtmlTag' with the attributes you specified in your question. Removing the decorators means that the actual element will not be rendered - only the HtmlTag decorator will be rendered.

so assuming your form is $form:

$form->addElement(
    'hidden',
    'dummy',
    array(
        'required' => false,
        'ignore' => true,
        'autoInsertNotEmptyValidator' => false,
        'decorators' => array(
            array(
                'HtmlTag', array(
                    'tag'  => 'div',
                    'id'   => 'wmd-button-bar',
                    'class' => 'wmd-panel'
                )
            )
        )
    )
);
$form->dummy->clearValidators();

Note that you want to prevent any validation of the element. This is only one way - there are likely others.

Output:

<div id="wmd-button-bar" class="wmd-panel"></div>

There is a good article describing decorators.

Insert custom HTML into Zend_Form

Use view script decorator . I assume you must be uploading image through an iframe . Which you can place it inside the phtml file of your view script decorator.

Inside your form class do .

$dec = new Zend_Form_Decorator_ViewScript();
$dec->setViewScript('Form.phtml');

$this->setDecorators(array($dec,'form'));

Inside Form.phtml to render element do

<?php echo $this->element->username ;?>
<?php echo $this->element->image ; ?>

and add your iframe as it is.

How to add html/text into a zend form htmlTag?

By using Zend_Form_Element_Text you can insert your own html/text inside the form quite simply by doing the following.

$text = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('descCharsRemaining');
$text->setValue("<p>2000 Characters Remaining</p>")
     ->helper = 'formNote';

Then inserting the object into the addElements array

$this->addElements(array(

   // My other form elements

   $text,

   // My other form elements

UPDATE: I have discovered a more simplified way to do this by just including the following directly into the array

array(
  'note',
  'desc',
     array(
       'value' => '<p>2000 Characters Remaining</p>'
     ),
),

With the result being,

<dd id="descCharsRemaining-element">
  <p>2000 Characters Remaining</p>
</dd>

How do I allow html tags in label for Zend form element using addElement()?

After calling addElement fetch the label's decorator and change the escape setting:

$form->getElement('school_name')->getDecorator('label')->setOption('escape', false);

If you use this type of label a lot, you should consider writing a custom decorator.

Allow HTML on Zend form elements

Try to do like this:

$select = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('my_element', array(
     'label' => 'My Element',
     'description' => 'My link <a href="https://www.google.com/">here</a>',
     'multiOptions' => array(
     'opt_one' => 'Option One',
     'opt_two' => 'Option Two'
)));

$select->getDecorator('Description')->setOption('escape', false);
$form->addElement($select);
