Can't create a submit element with an icon

[clawfire]

Twitter_Bootstrap_Form_Element_Submit didn't support icons but Twitter_Bootstrap_Form_Element_Button did. Also we can't make a Button type submitwithout getting the icon as a valuein the generated code , resulting it passed as an element in the post / get call .

You need to make a Button element and make it of the type 'submit'

<?php
// Inside the form init
$this->addElement('button', 'mySubmitName', array(
    'label' => 'Save',
    'icon' => 'plus-sign',
    'whiteIcon' => true,
    'type' => 'submit'
));

That will get you a submit button with the icon

Exactly. As @lrobert points out with his example code, in order to get a button with a small icon inside you need to use a Twitter_Bootstrap_Form_Element_Button.

I'll test that, it's make the type="submit" ok but place the <i class="icon-plus-sign"></i> into the value attribut, so it's passed with the form ...

[lrobert]

'ok but place the into the value attribut'

Place what into the value attribute?

[clawfire]

<i class="icon-plus-sign"></i>

[lrobert]

You can add that directly into the value by using

// Inside the form init
$this->addElement('button', 'mySubmitName', array(
    'label' => 'Save',
    'icon' => 'plus-sign',
    'whiteIcon' => true,
    'type' => 'submit',
    'value' => 'Whatever you want here'
));

But I must ask, why would you want that posted?

[clawfire]

I don't want it, <i class="icon-plus-sign"></i> is automatically inserted into value="" because it's the label of the button :(

[lrobert]

Funny thing, I just ran into this! It doesn't even create the value properly :/

I'll open a new ticket describing the issue and I'll work on a fix.
