    .. php:attr:: _element

        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' => [...],//  )}

    .. php:attr:: _record
    


    .. php:method:: elementForm(Element $element, Omeka_Record_AbstractRecord $record, $options = Array)
