## Forms
* Every form should have at least one 'panel' which contains the form fields. If certain fields can be grouped together, you can add multiple panels to a form.
* A field consists of an outer wrapper `.form-group` which contains a `label` and the `input`
* The submit button should be placed outside of the panels to prevent confusion (e.g., the save button saves the whole form and not just the last panel).
* Checkboxes are placed within a label (see example below). The wrapping div needs an additional `.checkbox` class
* Additional field descriptions can be placed in the `.help-block` `span`
After determining the proper layout for forms we decided to create wrappers in PHP to create all forms. This de-duplicates all of the current HTML, making this migration a bit harder but any future updates infinitely easier (since all forms can be updated centrally). This is what the form-code should look like:
An example (which omits everything but relevant Bootstrap classes):
```php
require('classes/Form.class.php');
$form = new Form;
```html
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h2 class="panel-title">Form or panel heading</h2>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="input" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Labeltext</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input class="form-control" id="input" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="second-input" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Second label</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input class="form-control" id="second-input" />
<span class="help-block">What's this all about?</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="second-input" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Checkbox</label>
<div class="col-sm-10 checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" /> Checkbox description
</label>
</div>
</div>
$section = new Form_Section('System');
<!-- And more form-groups -->
$section->addInput(new Form_Input(
'Hostname',
'text',
$pconfig['hostname'],
['placeholder' => 'pfSense']
))->setHelp('Name of the firewall host, without domain part');
</div>
</div>
$section->addInput(new Form_Input(
'Domain',
'text',
$pconfig['domain'],
['placeholder' => 'mycorp.com, home, office, private, etc.']
))->setHelp('Do not use \'local\' as a domain name. It will cause local '.
'hosts running mDNS (avahi, bonjour, etc.) to be unable to resolve '.
'local hosts not running mDNS.');
<!-- And more panels -->
$form->add($section);
<div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-2">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Save" />
</div>
</form>
print $form;
```
Please make sure the referenced $_POST fields in the php-code above this code are also updated since they are automatically generated
## Tables
* Wrap your tables in a `<div class="table-responsive">` to make them scroll horizontally on small devices.

## Icons
Icons are primarily used for status indications. Try to supply a legend when the icon is not 100% self explanatory. See `usr/local/www/firewall_rules.php` for an good example of icon usage and a legend.
