Hi Matt,

You can hide the fields labels on two different ways. The first is to remove this line from the forms.cshtml. You will find the file in /Views/Partials/Forms.

@Html.Raw(f.Caption) 

You will find it in line number 77. If you want to choose which labels that should be hidden, you could simply add a class to the label, e.g hide, and the hide it with CSS. like.

 <label for="@f.Id" class="fieldLabel hideLabel">
    @Html.Raw(f.Caption) @if (f.ShowIndicator){
        <span class="contourIndicator">@Model.Indicator</span>
    }
</label>    

And then in your css

.hideLabel{
    display: none;
}

If you mean how you can hide the validation labels, then you can do in the UI for Forms, just click the action button right corner and then validation, in there you will see a checkbox called Hide field validation labels.http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Products/UmbracoForms/Editor/Creating-a-form/Form-Settings/

Hope this helps,

Thanks, but I want to be able to set on each item that i have added to the form whether or not to show the label.  some FieldTypes i have changed to show the label as a placeholder inside the input, others i want to still display the label.

Hi Matt,

Okay then try to have a look on this documentation about how to add settings to a field type.http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Products/UmbracoForms/Developer/Extending/Adding-a-Type#Addingsettingstoatype and http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/products/umbracoforms/Developer/Extending/Adding-a-Fieldtype.

Perhaps you can extend the field types that Umbraco Forms comes shipped with. The files for the fields types in this folder /Views/Partials/Forms/Fieldtypes

Hope this helps,

ok thanks, so on line 75 of the Forms.cshtml file where it has "@if (!f.HideLabel)", there's no way to set the value of that?  where is it getting the value for that property then?

Understood. Thanks for your explanation.

I'm pretty sure you have sorted this out by now .. so for people who are new, like me.. I might lay it down as I see it..

If you want to hide a label for a specific field, you are breaking out of the forms standard form types and you need to create a CUSTOM field type. you can do that in a few easy steps following the the instructions on this page..

Adding a field type to Umbraco Forms

All you need to do is add and set this property in the constuctor...

this.HideLabel = true;

is working on a reply...
