.. php:class:: Omeka_View_Helper_ElementForm

extends :php:class:`Zend_View_Helper_Abstract`

    Generate the form markup for entering element text metadata.

    .. php:attr:: _element

        protected Element

        Displays a form for the record's element.

        The function applies filters that allow plugins to customize the display
        of element form components.
        Here is an example of how a plugin may add and implement an element form
        filter:

        add_filter(array('ElementForm', 'Item', 'Dublin Core', 'Title')),
        'form_item_title');
        function form_item_title(array $components, $args)
        {

        // Where $components would looks like:
        //  array(
        //      'label' => [...],
        //      'inputs' => [...],
        //      'description' => [...],
        //      'comment' => [...],
        //      'add_input' => [...],
        //  )
        // and $args looks like:
        //  array(
        //      'record' => [...],
        //      'element' => [...],
        //      'options' => [...],
        //  )
        }
