Hi,

I have some Problems with the form helper. Is there a way to **disable the wrapping div on input fields** or is it possible to change the class from “input text” to a custom one? Is it also possible to turn it off globally? It conflicts with the classes from semantic-ui!

Now it looks like:

```
<div class="input text">
    <input type="text" name="query" placeholder="Search" id="query">
</div>

```

But it should look like (Without the wrapping DIV):

```
<input type="text" name="query" placeholder="Search" id="query">

```

Thank you for your help!

</div>

Fixed it like described in the documentation on [https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers/form.html#customizing-the-templates-formhelper-uses](https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers/form.html#customizing-the-templates-formhelper-uses)

But isn’t there an easier way to do this like applying a “div” =\> false on the form element?

The Cake3 way is to define the `inputcontainer`, no shorter way.
