Hi Steve,
I read once that Dataface 0.6.9r1 cannot display fields inline but you promise to reintroduce that feature. Is that feature currently available?
Regards

Sorry for the delay in reply.
Currently inline fields are not supported. A small change to the templates is needed to add these back... I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to do this though..

It seems to still be this way - that you can not put a number of fields in one row in the new record/edit record form template, even though they belong to a group. Which templates/files are in control of this?

You can actually override any particular field group with your own template.... I'll see about putting together a tutorial on this. Hopefully by the time next week's newsletter comes out.

Inline fields in the DETAILS tab

I've tried the method involving custom css as described in the 'how to' at...
http://xataface.com/documentation/how-t ... lay-inline
... but that doesn't seem to work.
I've also tried the TEMPLATE method described here...
http://xataface.com/wiki/index.php?-tab ... e_id=%3D51
...which involves making a custom HTML template for each FIELD GROUP (as defined in my fields.ini file). This does work, but in only seems to affect the DETAILS tab in EDIT mode but NOT in VIEW mode. Surely it is intended to effect both?
Any comments on how to do inline fields in the DETAILS>VIEW tab?

That is correct. Creating a custom template for fieldgroups only affects the edit tab. The view tab is a different animal. If you want to lay things out custom in the view tab you would add a custom section.
(i.e. the section__xxx delegate class function).
The ability to more easily lay fields out horizontally is still on the todo list, but no eta on that right now.
