Re: How to show form field tool tip on mouse over

2010-01-09 Thread Bruno Busco 
Hi Michael,
having a lookup that returns multiple selected values in a field is a
general enough task that should be addressed with a general purpose
tool.
It could be a different decorator from which exten the lookup
decorator (so for example we could have a multiLookupDecorator in
addition to the actual lookupDecorator).

In one project I have already done this, I need some time to see if
this was implemented in an enough general way to be reused.

 hi Bruno,

 However, such improvement needs to change the form widget schema and the
 render. I proposed another way to make form widget more flexible. For your
 reference, I pasted it here:



 hi all,

 In ofbiz form, we can use lookup controller for fields which link to
 entities. But the lookup controller only support to return single value. How
 to implement a multiple lookup?

 Looking into source code, it seems that we have to extend a new controller
 in form widget schema and implement it in the form render. Is it a correct
 way to go?

 BTW: In my opinion, it is not flexible to extend form widget in current
 design. (correct me if I am wrong). Let's take one example.

 form name=AssignGlAccount type=single
 target=createGlAccountOrganization title= default-map-name=account
        header-row-style=header-row default-table-style=basic-table
        field name=glAccountId
            drop-down
                entity-options entity-name=GlAccount
 description=${accountCode} - ${accountName} [${glAccountId}]
                    entity-order-by field-name=accountCode/
                /entity-options
            /drop-down
        /field
 ...
 /form

 Here, we have to use drop-down tag to tell system to render a HTML
 drop-down component. But what if a customized field? Then do we have to
 change form widget schema for that field? And then add the render logic in
 the long switch-cases?

 Maybe we can refactor the design, like this:

 form name=AssignGlAccount type=single
 target=createGlAccountOrganization title= default-map-name=account
        header-row-style=header-row default-table-style=basic-table
        field name=glAccountId
            controller name=drop-down
            !--
                for new non-standard controller, we can define like this:
 controller name=org.ofbiz.FancyDropDown
             --
                param key=entity-name value=GLAccount/
                param key=description value=/
                param key=entity-order-by value=accountCode/
            !--
                for new non-standard controller, we can define new
 parameters
             --
        /field
 ...
 /form

 with the new design, then we don't need to break the schema and change the
 core code of render logic. Instead, we just need to implement a new
 controller from a predefined controller interface. And then we can reuse it
 in all forms.

 (In here, due to the limitation of current form widget, we have to give up
 form and use FTL directly.)

  Hello Raj,
 
  One way to do this might be call javascript method from the form field
  and write necessary code that you want to display as tooltip within the
  method.
  You can call javascript method by following manner :
 
  field name=abc event=onmouseover
  action=javascript:methodName();/

Hi Raj,
Currently there is no support for this in Form widget ; I think this support
should be there in form widget.
This can be easily done by the title attribute of any input as follows;
input type=text autocomplete=off id=findCommEvents_partyIdTo
size=25 name=partyIdTo title=Party Id To/

I try to submit a patch to give this support till Monday.
