 * Hey,
 * I’m trying to create a custom pdb_signup and have alot of checkbox fields that
   have to be arranged in a specific way. Now I started to create the form within
   the standard loop but it is really a mess to build in so many if clauses and 
   switches to get the right layout.
 * Is there a way to call the fields with a special function? I found this article
   that describes how to display specific fields:
 * [https://xnau.com/using-the-pdb_template-class-in-your-custom-templates/](https://xnau.com/using-the-pdb_template-class-in-your-custom-templates/)
 * But this seems only to work when I access a record that is already in the DB.
   
   I hope you understand what I mean.
 * Thx in advance
    Dan
