If I remove the key that set the text on the label, I get no exception, but this output:

Array

Note the Array label I have now gotten. It is the result of:
elements.nieuwsbrief.options.label.options.placement = “append”

So it did not help, but I appreciate your effort!

I haven’t played with the placement options too much, but I was able to set a placement option on a label by doing this:

elements.nieuwsbrief.options.label.options.placement = “append”

instead of:

elements.nieuwsbrief.options.decorators.label.options.placement = “APPEND”

Notice I took out the ‘decorators’ specification between options and label. This makes sense as it is reflected by the non-config code you pasted that does work.

If I take the form as is, created throug .ini and after that I do
$form->nieuwsbrief->getDecorator(‘Label’)->setOption(‘placement’, ‘APPEND’);

it works fine.

So the option can be set for sure.

I found an entry in the mailing list that is somewhat instructieve, but does yield the same result. This assumes you should talk to the decorators array like this:
elements.decorators.5.options.placement = “APPEND”

The label is the fith default decorator if you dump getDecorators() on the nieuwsbrief element. There is however no difference in the result. It would be valuable if you tried, it is possible after all that a bug has entered the system somewhere.

elements.nieuwsbrief.options.decorators.label.options.placement = “APPEND”

I also tried “append” (lowercase) with no luck. Doing this in the form works fine, but not through config. I get this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Exception’ with message ‘Plugin by name ‘APPEND’ was not found in the registry; used paths: Zend_Form_Decorator_: Zend/Form/Decorator/’ in D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Loader\PluginLoader.php:406 Stack trace: #0 D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Form\Element.php(1773): Zend_Loader_PluginLoader->load(‘APPEND’) #1 D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Form\Element.php(2151): Zend_Form_Element->_getDecorator(‘APPEND’, NULL) #2 D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Form\Element.php(1923): Zend_Form_Element->_loadDecorator(Array, ‘placement’) #3 D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Form\Element.php(312): Zend_Form_Element->getDecorators() #4 D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Form\Element.php(267): Zend_Form_Element->loadDefaultDecorators() #5 D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Form.php(1078): Zend_Form_Element->__construct(‘nieuwsbrief’, Array) #6 D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Form.php(1009): Zend_Form->createElement(‘checkbox’, ‘nieuwsbrief’, Array) #7 D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Form.php(1113): Zend_ in D:\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Loader\PluginLoader.php on line 406

Apparently ZF is looking for a plugin, while I just want to set an option on the decorator. Any clues what I am doing wrong? I will search for other articles of course, and check the mailing list. But I thought people might benefit if you can come up with an answer here.

Thank you!
