I'm trying to replace a little bit of the FormField_holder.ss template, to alter some HTML in most fields in the back-end.
Solution
I placed the edited template in mysite/templates/forms/FormField_holder.ss
Problem
Unfortunately, the template is now also used in the front-end forms, which is not my intention
So the question is, what would be a better way to set a form field template for solely the back end fields? Of course without going over all fields and calling ->setTemplate
Just a thought - maybe check the current controler in your new template and either display the default holder or the adapted one, depending?
@Martiniz do you mean to assign the custom formfield template in thepage controller? That would only affect front-end formfields and not the back-end's right?
Because I need the opposite way: replace cms form field holder template and use the framework default ones for front-end form fields
