Form Size?

[peters]

Afternoon,

I'm into day 3 of using the WYSIWYG Web Builder and so far, doing OK.
I ran into a couple of issues today and really have no idea of why this is happening or how to resolve.

Back to Login Tools.
I take the stock Signup form from the toolbox and add in onto a page. I put it into a flexcontainer so regardless of the window width the form is always in the center. This worked great.

OK, now I copy the Signup object to a form so I can modify it and add in 3-4 additional files. ie: Address, City, State, Zip. Modified the scripting and this works great.

Now to my issues.
1. This form that I am now working with I cannot drop anymore into a flexcontainer. It just sits on top of the flexcontainer and will not go in. is this normal behavior? If so, how do I drop this form in a flexcontainer?
2. The other issue is the form size. Publish the project and all the stock Login Tools forms all maintain and seem to size themselves to fit regardless if viewed on a Windows PC, or a tablet and also even my cell phone. However, the one Signup one I copied to a form and modified now shows up as a little-bitty form and I mean little form in the top right corner of a 5 X 7 inch tablet.

What do I have to do to make the Login Tools "Signup" form I modified behave like the original "Signup" form out of Login Tools?
My copy to a form has dropped some setting or something, but I have no idea what to look for to make the form behave like the original Signup one out of the Login Tools.

Please help? 

UPDATE A FEW HOURS LATER - LOL
Ok, If I add a flexcontainer at the top of the webpage with the form created by copy to form the Signup form, the form then self-adjusts to the correct size regardless of the device viewing the webpage. No idea why? . . . but that is exactly the situation.
I still have been unable to get the form to center based upon the page width. Tried dropping the form again into a flexcontainer or a flexgrid and it will not drop into them, but again the stock Signup form will on the same webpage.
So as it sits now I can't get the form to center it remains in a static position on the webpage and I tried all the setting in the FlexBox settings for this form.
Tried a good dozen things in the toolbox and all of them will drop into the flexcontainer and all auto-center as a defailt option right away without changing any settings. The only thing that will not drop into the flexcontainer is this darn form!

I am out of ideas on what to try next... been 4 hours on this little item and all I want to do is get the form sized right and that is working now, but still can't make it center.

1 HOUR LATER-LOL
I think I stumbled across the issue.

You have to check off: "Create a responsive form using layout grids"
Does that mean then I cannot copy any of the Login Tools to a form and maintain the responsiveness?
Have not tried the responsive form using layout grids yet as I've been on this trouble all day and tomorrow will be a better day.

When you convert the login form to a standard form then it will no longer be a single object. It will be a collection of multiple form tools.

However, there are two scenarios:
1. If the login form is used in an absolute layout the it will be converted to 'fixed' form. This can not be used in the flexible layouts.
or
2. If the form is part of a layout grid, then it will be converted to a flexible (responsive) form.

So, if you want a flexible form then you will need to add it to a layout grid, not a flex container.
In a layout grid you can also center the form. For example, by setting the max-width.

Also, note that you can use custom profile fields to add extra options to the form, there is no need to convert it to standard form.

Pablo, thanks so much for your reply.

I am learning a lot about how to work with this Web Builder.
I will review how to add custom fields to the Login Tools Signup object.

Pete,
