In my zeal to code up the application I managed to delete the RenderView bit. You know, the one line that reads:
sub end : ActionClass('RenderView') {} in the root controller. Replacing that immediately fixed the display problem, though now I am back to the FormBuilder issue. I am having a problem with some of the documentation (will file a bug against what I found). The docs suggest something that looks like this (in TT, I hand converted this to Mason). [% FOREACH field IN form.fields %] <div id="[%- field.name -%]"> <div class="label"> [% field.required ? qq(<span class="required">$field.label</span>) : field.label %] </div> This presumes that $c->form->fields is the correct array ref to iterate over. As I have discovered, it is not. It is $c->form->fieldrefs. So my Mason code looks something like this: % foreach $field (keys %{$form->{fieldrefs}}) % { <% $field |h %> % } and it spit out my username and password fields quite nicely. By Data::Dumping the form, I saw this: > 'fieldrefs' => { > 'password' => bless( { > '_cache' => { > 'type' > => 'text' > }, > 'cleanopts' => 1, > 'selectname' => 1, > 'sticky' => 1, > 'name' => 'password', > '_form' => $VAR1, > 'selectnum' => 5 > }, > 'CGI::FormBuilder::Field::text' ), > 'username' => bless( { > '_cache' => { > 'type' > => 'text' > }, > 'cleanopts' => 1, > 'submit' => 'Login', > 'name' => 'username', > 'size' => '40', > 'password' => > $VAR1->{'fieldopts'}{'username'}{'password'}, > 'selectname' => 1, > 'sticky' => 1, > 'required' => '1', > '_form' => $VAR1, > 'label' => 'User > name', > 'type' => 'text', > 'selectnum' => 5 > }, > 'CGI::FormBuilder::Field::text' ) which suggests that the correct dereference for the [%- field.name -%] like things is actually $form->{fieldrefs}->{$field}->{name} Has anyone else seen this? Or does TT work in some magical other manner so it hides all of this from us? Where I am now is that a call to $form->render doesn't seem to do much. Will work on it some more, I am assuming I have some additional pilot error here as well.
