Hi all,
I'm having some troubles with form re-display using the formlets'
checkbox/choiceDefault routines (redisplay for error handling and/or
redisplay to retrieve saved information stored in the database).
------------------
e.g. for checkbox:
------------------
- let's say in the formlet i have a field called "bannerOpt" defined
by: {checkbox -> bannerOpt}
- if I submit the form having an error in any other field (i.e. input
field), the form is re-displayed pointing the input field error... BUT
it doesn't save any checked/unchecked state in the checkbox object.
- if I have stored in the DB "bannerOpt" as a BOOL with the value of
TRUE, and I'm using a formlet to edit "bannerOpt" value, I don't know
how to display a checked state in a checkbox object inside the formlet
after retrieving its value from the DB.
- then, the question for the previous cases is: how can I display a
checkbox routine as checked if 1)I'm re-displaying a form after an
error handling process and 2) if I'm retrieving its value from a
TRUE/FALSE field in the DB?
------------------------------
e.g. for choice/choiceDefault:
------------------------------
- let's say in the formlet i have a field called "ctry" defined
by:
{choiceDefault(
[ ("UK","UK"),("USA","USA"),("Canada","Canada")],
userInfo.ctry) -> ctry}
- if I submit the form having an error in any other field (i.e. input
field), the form is re-displayed pointing the input field error... BUT
it doesn't save the previously selected value in the
choice/choiceDefault object.
- if I have stored in the DB "ctry" with the value "UK" and I use a
formlet to edit a user using a choiceDefault routine, there's no
problem here.
- so the question is mainly for the first case: how can I display the
previously selected value in a choice/choiceDefault routine if I'm
re-displaying a form after an error handling process?
Hope anyone can help me through this,
Best regards,
Gabriel
This is a bug in the formlets library. Ezra is fixing it right now.
