Now I need a file/directory chooser but for the remote files. With "$form->field(name => 'inputFile', label => 'Input file', type => file);" I get as expected only a local file chooser. In the user-/webmin framework I could use "&file_chooser_button" which gives me a file/directory chooser on the the server side. Is it possible to use "&file_chooser_button" inside formbuilder or is there an other way to get an file/directory chooser dialog for the server side inside formbuilder? regards, Sascha _______________________________________________ FBusers mailing list FBusers< at >formbuilder.org http://www.formbuilder.org/mailman/listinfo/fbusers Sascha Brechenmacher 2007-03-08T09:24:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/948 _______________________________________________ FBusers mailing list FBusers< at >formbuilder.org http://www.formbuilder.org/mailman/listinfo/fbusers Kevin Jordan 2007-03-06T18:08:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/943 As far as I can tell, there is no way to require that any one of several fields be present. I have an app where I need either field1 or field2 filled out. Neither on its own is required, and a validate method attached to either field would not detect when both are empty because it would never get called! The workaround for me is to inspect the form after it is submitted, andmake sure one of the fields is set. If not, I mark one field as invalid and set its message to something useful, then send the form back to the user. What would be more useful would be a formwide_validate callback that checks the whole form, as opposed to a particular field like normal validate. This would be the logical place to do what I'm trying to accomplish. $form->formwide_validate(sub{ my $form = shift; ($form->field('foo') || $form->field('bar')) or return; return 1; }); _______________________________________________ FBusers mailing list FBusers< at >formbuilder.org http://www.formbuilder.org/mailman/listinfo/fbusers Ryan Tate 2007-03-04T01:22:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/940 _______________________________________________ FBusers mailing list FBusers< at >formbuilder.org http://www.formbuilder.org/mailman/listinfo/fbusers Troy Davis 2007-03-02T16:10:01 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/937 _______________________________________________ FBusers mailing list FBusers< at >formbuilder.org http://www.formbuilder.org/mailman/listinfo/fbusers Daniel Vela 2007-02-21T21:43:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/936 _______________________________________________ FBusers mailing list FBusers< at >formbuilder.org http://www.formbuilder.org/mailman/listinfo/fbusers Mordion Gall 2007-02-12T21:58:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/932 I've been validating some of my applications using CGI::FB with the W3C validator, and it seems that the 'name' and 'charset' attributes are not allowed inside the <form> tag. However, setting a 'name' for the form is essential in order to get special stylesheeting over elements with id's like FormName_Field_Element. Also, setting 'charset' is useful for internal uses. Not dumping name= and charset= in the <form> tag would be nice, since it would still allow internal methods to access those options while being XHTML 1.1 compliant. I've been browsing the code but I can't point where the actual <form> tag is built. In Template/Builtin.pm, however, I assume it's comming from $form->text. I tried, unsuccesfully, to track $form down the parent methods. Maybe a 'compat' option in the new() method could prove useful (instead of just changing this things to make CGI::FB compliant). Another change that is needed is the removal of the <noscript> part in the JS output.

However, I get weird characters in all JS messages, as well as errors from the W3C Validator. Please note that I'm not an expert in this topic, but I think I've narrowed the problem to: a) The es_ES.pm messages file is encoded in ISO-8859-1 (I opened it with a UTF-8 aware text editor and rewrote it, then checked it with `file es_ES.pm` which says that now it is a UTF-8 file) b) The functions in FormBuilder.pm that write the actual JavaScript code are using "return <string>", and this last step is not UTF-8 aware (I don't know why, though). If I add "use Encode;" and then return encode_utf8(<string>); I get the proper code in the HTML output. Also, most scripts I checked in were not using "use utf8;". I don't know if this is mandatory of if it actually helps with something, but just in case. Can somebody explain to me a proper way to do UTF-8 based for José Parrella 2007-02-10T22:31:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/930 hi all -- first off, CGI::FB is a great module. it's saved me countless hours of tedious mind-numbing typing. thanks a lot to nate and anyone else responsible. i have a question about using CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File with regexps in the validate field: one of the things i really want to do is make sure the length of the input is between a min and max value: validate: /^\w{3,32}$/ and it seems like this sort of thing would be not atypical. unfortunately, the regex is split into two values when there's a comma in the regex (via $source->write_module()): 'validate' => [ '/^\\w{3', '32}$/' so : is there a canonical way of checking for min/max length that i'm not aware of? would there be any interest in changing File.pm (~ line 155) from: # split commas < at >val = split /\s*,\s*/, $line; to something like: # split commas my $split_regex = lc $term eq 'validate' ? qr/\s*(?<!\\),\s*/ : qr/\s*,\s*/; < at >val = split $split_regex, $line; which wou kevin montuori 2007-02-09T22:56:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/927 Hello All, Just want to start out by saying, this is a really great API and easy to use. Which must be my problem. Below is the code I'm working with. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the radio button or checkbox to be either on or off. The $notact with either be 1 or 0, yet nothing is checked. I thought I was doing what the documentation was telling me. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? sub edituser { &noauth if !&admin; &phead; my $stmt="select Users.Username, Users.Password, Users.BmsCustId, Users.Email, Users.FullName, Users.NotActive, Groups.Group as fGroup from Users left join Groups on Groups.pkey = Users.Group where Users.pkey=$input{edituser}"; my $h=$dbh->selectrow_hashref($stmt); print dumper_html($h); my $notact=$h->{NotActive}; delete $h->{NotActive}; my $group=$dbh->selectall_arrayref("select Groups.Group from Groups"); $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new( fields =>$h, smartness => 2, ); $form->field(name=>'NotActive', value=> $notact, options=>"Deacti Hornet 2007-02-05T22:44:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/925 Hi, I'm tying to build a form where most of the fields are standard fields, laid out via a template, but with a section where some fields may or may not be added dynamically, depending on the record type I'm editing. The idea was that at run time I'd do something like: my $tmpl = HTML::Template->new( ...) $tmpl->param('form-start' => "<tmpl_var form-start>"); $tmpl->param('form-submit' => "<tmpl_var form-submit>"); # all standard field template tags get replaced by themselves # for FormBuilder to expand ... $tmpl->param('dynamic-controls' => \< at >list_of_extra_fields); # Now create the form object my $form->CGI::FormBuilder->new( fields =>\< at >list_of_all_fields, template => $tmpl, .... ); This fails because $tmpl is an HTML::Template object and doesn't have a render() method. Is subclassing CGI::FormBuilder::Template::HTML the only way to get something like this to work? It seems odd that the template attribute can be an object reference but NOT an HTML::Template reference. _______________ Dan Axtell 2007-02-04T20:33:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/924 Hi all, I've been using FormBuilder and Data::FormValidator together, but have run into a few fairly minor problems. 1. Unless you remember to put a field in "optional" list in the Data::FormValidator profile, it won't be checked or filtered or anything. This logic is slightly different to FormBuilder's, where there isn't really a difference between optional and "not required". 2. A Data::FormValidator constraint which isn't specific to just one field (for example, a 'require_some') causes FormBuilder to create a new fictitous text field with the name of the contraint and with the constraint's error message. The error ought to be reported at the level of the form, rather as an error on any one field. This I managed to correct just by using some css to hide the field leaving the message. 3. These modules don't seem to work correctly together for fields with options and other=>1. Instead of returning the value of the "other" text field, it returns the name of the field. Other than these minor and avoidabl Mike Scoltock 2007-02-04T12:29:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/923 Greetings, I've been trying to setup a few sites which need to implement multipage forms, under Catalyst. I've read the tutorial in formbuilder.org regarding multipage forms, and I've tried two different ways for this: 1) Setting up the first page is easy with C::Plugin::FB, and the YAML-based source files. Therefore I use a single Local Form method in Catalyst, and the form posts to itself. My whole method is a: if ($c->form->submitted && $c->form->validate) { ... actions } Since I'm taking profit of the fact that using TT2, the template name is setup by default to /root/<path>.tt2. When the user is entering the first page, $c->form isn't submitted nor validated, and it opens the default template, which has a single form.render and "calls" the .fb file to get the form configuration. Nice. Of course, when a user enters some information and submits the form, I get into my if statement (the form is submitted and validates), and I can do all my DB stuff, etc. But if I want a second form to show up, I José Parrella 2007-02-03T19:16:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/922 When using CGI::FB in a standard way to build a form, I was interested in the jsclick option in order to provide a quick effect from Scriptaculous in my forms: if a radio button was clicked, some rows needed to appear. This requires me to set an id="" attribute in the desired <tr>'s (which CGI::FB already does: FormName_FieldName_label) but also to set inline display: none; style attributes in order to "hide" the rows when the form loads. I can't specify them through CSS because of a del.icio.us feature, but I didn't see an option to specify <tr> attributes (just <td>). I patched CGI::FB in order to have this done, but I could also have used a particular template, of course. Is there any other way to achieve this which is currently available in FB? Would it be useful if we could specify <tr> attributes through CGI::FB?

FormBuilder rocks anyway. But normally, There is something we don't want. In any case, You don't like to see the message like <!-- Generated by CGI::FormBuilder v$VERSION available from www.formbuilder.org --> But It seems there is no option to remove this without patching the source. Touch symbol table works fine. But doesn't work well when we are in Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder. So this patch did this. It won't show the hidden trailer if you set debug option off. Another small enhancement is. I add a browser_compat option (Default is 1). The one which most people like. ;-) If It is set to 0. Then, You won't see the <!-- hide from old browsers blablabla //--> Things in generated javascript. Modern browsers. Even lynx and w3m, can deal with unknown tags correctly. And I need this feature also. ;-) Any suggestions welcome.

I don't want my users to enter error-prone MM/DD/YYYY dates in a stupid text field but rather I'd like to have three select lists (monthnames, day, yearlist) per date field. Before I started to use FB I had a homegrown form solution which had an additional "date" fieldtype that spit out those three columns and verified the date. AFAICT from looking at the FB source this should be doable by adding something like a CGI::FormBuilder::Field::date class, right? Has somebody here already tried something like this? Thanks for any suggestions! --Tobias _______________________________________________ FBusers mailing list FBusers< at >formbuilder.org http://www.formbuilder.org/mailman/listinfo/fbusers Tobias Kremer 2007-01-23T09:57:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder/910 I'm being forced into migrating my current FB, Apache, Mason code to Apache2. I'm having trouble getting FB to be able access the submitted form data. In the past I simply created the new form object with params => $r and everything was OK.This doesn't work now. I've tried using Apache2::Request->new($r) and CGI->new($r) instead but neither was successful. I get the feeling I'm missing something fairly simple so thought I'd ask if anyone else has a setup like this and could help me see the light!

This SELECT input has different values and labels. It looks something like <select name="employee_id"> <option value="1">Able</option> <option value="2">Baker</option> <option value="3">Charlie</option> </select> When I get to the confirm screen I want the "employee_id" line to show to the user the label (e.g., "Baker") but instead it gives the value (e.g., "2"). How can I get the confirm screen to show the label rather than the value *without* having to resort to using a template? What would be nice if there were an property of the field object that specified what to display in the confirm screen as override. _______________________________________________ FBusers mailing list FBusers< at >formbuilder.org http://www.formbuilder.org/mailman/listinfo/fbusers cgiformbuilder331< at >lewenberg.com 2007-01-11T05:40:03 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.formbuilder
