Description

To show the main form to the end user, Editor uses a display controller. In basic terms, Editor will request that the display controller show the main form, but exactly how it does that display is entirely up to the display controller. This provides a huge amount of flexibility in Editor as your form can be show in any way you want!

There are two display controllers built into Editor:

• lightbox
• envelope

Each display controller has its own options for configuration. Please refer to the documentation for the display controller for what options are available and how they can be configured.

Additional display controllers can be added to Editor as plug-ins. For information on how to develop display controllers, please refer to the Editor developer documentation. The styling integrations for Editor may also include their own display controllers - these are:

• bootstrap - Uses Bootstrap's modal module
• foundation - Uses Foundation's Reveal
• jqueryui - Uses jQuery UI's modal library

Please note that this option does not effect the display of the bubble and inline editing (bubble() and inline()) options of Editor.
