I want to insert some Custom CSS element [e.g., to have two-col layout] in the default Add/Edit generated forms, would appreciate if anyone or the Admin can give me some pointers to achieve this.

A simple way to do this is to use the getState method. You have to use it always after the render function. You can see an example at: http://www.grocerycr...n_name/getState . In your case you will do something like this:

.....

    $crud->set_subject(....);

    .....

    $crud->...etc

    $output = $crud->render();



    $state = $crud->getState();



    if($state == 'add')

    {

        $output->css_files[] = base_url().'assets/css/yourcustom.css';

        $output->css_files[] = base_url().'assets/css/yourcustom2.css';

    }

    elseif($state == 'edit')

    {

        $output->css_files[] = base_url().'assets/css/yourcustom.css';

        $output->css_files[] = base_url().'assets/css/yourcustom2.css';

    }

    $this->_example_output($output);

....

The same thing you can do it with javascript also. I have a solution to have it in the views. But because in every version something could change in javascript/css/views it is better to not change the core.

Thanks for the response and I am sorry if my question was not clear enough. I actually want to change the standard layout [like to have a 2-col layout] of the forms generated for adding and editing the contents, and want to insert separate div etc at different points. Or if possible can you guide me through how to have a two column layout for add/edit forms?
