theming field collection in node add form

Question

I have themed node/add form of a special content type using the following instruction:

https://www.drupal.org/node/1092122

and I have changed this form to a table.

Now I'm struggling with a field collection with unlimited number of item. As I have hidden the default form of displaying node/add form when I click on 'add another item' of the field collection, nothing happens.

What I want is to show the next form of the field collection as the next row of the table ready for the user to fill it out.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks in Advanced.

You'll need to hook into the field collection entity on insert, and add a callback function to trigger the new row to appear via ajax in your table.

Check out field_collection.api.php in the field collection module for a full list of field collection api calls/methods.
