## Introduction
Field_group was originally written when drupal 7 was released. For drupal 6,
the module is located in the CCK module (http://drupal.org/project/cck).
As drupal core has a fields API drupal > 6, the field_group module
is considered a contribution.
Description:
field_group is a module that will group a set of fields. In Drupal8,
with fields, one means all fields that come from fieldable entities.
You can add fieldgroups in several types with their own format settings.
field_group uses plugins to add your own formatter and rendering for
it.
One of the biggest improvements to previous versions, is that fieldgroups
have unlimited nesting, better display control.
Note that field_group will only group fields, it can not be used to hide
certain fields since this a permission matter.

This section explains how to create groups of fields according to the type
chosen.
- Fieldsets : This group of fields makes the internal content in a fieldset.
It is possible to add a title and a caption (which appears at
the bottom of the fieldset).
- Details : Similar to Fieldsets. You can configure them to be open (normal
fieldset) or collapsed.
- Details Sidebar: Similar to Details. You can configure them to be open
(normal fieldset) or collapsed and move them in the sidebar on
the node form.

- Html element : This fieldgroup renders the inner content in a HTML
element. You can configure attributes and label element.
The following two groupings works differently because you must associate them
with another grouping.
- Accordions : This group of fields makes the child groups as a jQuery
accordion. As a first step you must create an Accordions
group. You can set a label and choose an effect. Then you
can create an Accordion Item as a child. This group can
contain fields.
- Tabs : This fieldgroup renders child groups in its own tabs wrapper.
As a first step you must create an Tabs group. You can set

choose if you want that your tabs are show horizontally or
vertically. Then, you can create Tab as a child and choose
one to be open by default.
For all groups, you can add id or classes.

You can also choose if you want to mark a group as required if one of his fields
is require (except for Accordions and Tabs : you must passed by their children).
