Can I use <widget:tabs> for <xs:choice> from schema

Hey,

I have the following problem:

My OrbeonFormApp is for creating an "dictionaryEntry".

This entry can be a single-word or a phrase.

If it´s a single word the user must give a "root" to that word and if it´s a phrase an "optional-root" can be given.

Now in my form I used

<widget:tabs>

so that the user can choose if he wants to create a singleEntry or a phrase. But this is not good because it seems to be connected with AND and what I need is OR.

My initData is also not good because it loads both, the nodes for a singleEntry and for a phrase...

I do know what is wrong but I don´t know a workaround.

I think I need something like:

if (user chose "singleWord" in the widget ){

load initDataForSingleWord}

else

{

load initDataForPhrase

}

Can someone help me please with this?

My schema looks like that:

<xs:complexType name="lemma">

<xs:choice>

<xs:element name="word" type="word"/>

<xs:element name="phrase" type="phrase"/>

</xs:choice>

</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="word">

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="graph" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:string"/>

<xs:element name="root" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:string"/>

</xs:sequence>

</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="phrase">

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="words" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:string"/>

<xs:element name="rootToImportantWordOfPhrase" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:string"/>

</xs:sequence>

</xs:complexType>

Re: Can I use <widget:tabs> for <xs:choice> from schema

Hey all,

is there any chance to get a choice between dataOutput

<root>

<a>

<b/>

</a>

</root>

<root>

<a>

<c/>

</a>

</root>

in one form?

My schema does handle it with "choice" but I don´t know how to make my form choose one of the possibilities...

THX

I#m not sure wether this mathes your needs, but you could use xforms:group to
display different controls depending on a certain condition:

<xforms:group ref=".[<condition1>]">
first group of controls
</xforms:group>

<xforms:group ref=".[<condition2>]">
second group of controls
</xforms:group>

condition1 and condition2 can be a xpath expression, so the two groups can be
toggled depending on the existence of a certain node or on a certain value of a
node.

Re: Re: Can I use <widget:tabs> for <xs:choice> from schema

Hey Florian,

I thought about it but still there is the problem that I load my data
from an initEntries.xml...

If I have a structure like this:

<root>
<a>
<b/> | <c/> <-----this one should depend on what
the user chose...
</a>
<sameToAll/>
</root>

can I do it like:

<model id="1">
<instance id="sameToAll">
<root>
<a>

</a>
<sameToAll/>
</root>
</instance>
<instance id="2">
<root2>
<b/> | <c/> <-----this one should depend on what
the user chose...
</root2>

after all copy /root2/* to /root/a/
I know this pseudocode sounds funny, but is there anything like that?

THX

Re: Re: Re: Can I use <widget:tabs> for <xs:choice> from schema

Hello,

ok, I changed my whole data and it´s almost ok now.

But I need something like a "conditional bind" .

Is there anything like that?

It´s because I have 2cases:

i) user chooses "singleWordCreation"

Then two fields ( lemma & root ) have to be filled out

ii) user chooses "PhraseCreation"

Then only one field ( lemma ) has to be filled out

The problem is that I had to take out the requirement for the root out of my schema...

In my form I had:

<xforms:bind nodeset="root" required="true()"/>

but I want to change it because it leeds to a submission-error in case ii)...

Does anyone know if I can use an xpathExpression in the required attribute...

something like:

required="[if-expression-true-then-root-is-required]"...

THX !!!!!!=)
