Creating quick form validation

Christian Lebe-2
Sorry, posted with wrong topic :(
Repost with the correct one..


Hi all,

I've been reading the code for creating a configurable error summary:

http://www.orbeon.com/blog/2006/08/04/

Everything looks simple. However, I'm a bit lost, where do we define the
rule? Ie. Where do we define the rule for firstname (must contain
letters, etc).

Could anyone possible give me light on this? I've been looking at the
DMV form example in orbeon.com, but it seems very complicated. And I
cant find where the rule is being defined.


Any help would be very much appreciated.

RE: Creating quick form validation

Christian Lebe-2
And also I'm not too sure where to put the errors:

<errors>
  <error id="xforms-element-133" indexes="" label="First Name"
alert="Must contain..."/>
  <error id="xforms-element-227" indexes="" label="Zip Code" alert="Must
contain..."/>
  <error id="xforms-element-207" indexes="" label="Street Name 1"
alert="Must contain..."/>
  <error id="xforms-element-216" indexes="" label="City" alert="Must
contain..."/>
</errors>

I think it should be inside <head></head>

And what's the id correspond to? :)

Thanks so much :)

Cheers,
 
Christian

With XForms, you have two ways:

* You can use an XML Schema, which you import with:

   <xforms:model schema="my-schema.xsd">

   This is what the Government Forms does.

* You can use <xforms:bind>, and set types and constraints properties on
   it.

Some of the complexity of the Government Forms example comes from the
fact that it deals with multiple forms, and for each form it has to
piece together the relevant bits.

RE: Creating quick form validation

Christian Lebe-2
In reply to this post by Christian Lebe-2
RE: [ops-users] Creating quick form validation

Thanks Eric,

Okay let me elaborate it more :)

1. First thing I did is defining the error template (Exactly copied from orbeon blog)

<xforms:instance id="errors-instance">

  <errors xmlns=""/>

</xforms:instance>

<xforms:instance id="error-template">

  <error xmlns="" id="" indexes="" label="" alert=""/>

</xforms:instance>

2. Add event handlers: (Exactly copied from orbeon blog)


<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-invalid" if="normalize-space(event('alert')) != ''">

  <xforms:action if="not(instance('errors-instance')/error[@id = event('target-id')

        and @indexes = string-join(event('repeat-indexes'), '-')])">

      <xforms:insert context="instance('errors-instance')"

        nodeset="error" origin="instance('error-template')"/>

      <xforms:setvalue ref="instance('errors-instance')/error[index('errors-repeat')]/@id"

        value="event('target-id')"/>

      <xforms:setvalue ref="instance('errors-instance')/error[index('errors-repeat')]/@indexes"

        value="string-join(event('repeat-indexes'), '-')"/>

  </xforms:action>

  <xforms:setvalue ref="instance('errors-instance')/error[@id = event('target-id')

    and @indexes = string-join(event('repeat-indexes'), '-')]/@alert" value="event('alert')"/>

  <xforms:setvalue ref="instance('errors-instance')/error[@id = event('target-id')

    and @indexes = string-join(event('repeat-indexes'), '-')]/@label" value="event('label')"/>

</xforms:action>

<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-valid" if="instance('errors-instance')/error[@id = event('target-id')

  and @indexes = string-join(event('repeat-indexes'), '-')]">

  <xforms:delete nodeset="instance('errors-instance')/error[@id = event('target-id')

    and @indexes = string-join(event('repeat-indexes'), '-')]"/>

</xforms:action>

I have these following bind nodeset to be checked:

<xf:bind nodeset="instance('xform')/data">

                <xf:bind nodeset="prefix" required="true()" />

                <xf:bind id="first-name" nodeset="first-name" required="true()" constraint=". castable as xs:integer and . >= 1 and 12 >= ." />

                <xf:bind nodeset="last-name" required="true()" />

                <xf:bind nodeset="purpose" required="true()" />

                <xf:bind nodeset="accomodation" required="true()" />

            </xf:bind>

Say I'm only interested to check first-name node over there… I know it's silly to have firstname of number between 1 to 12.

But for the sake of example…

And then I defined the errors inside <body> tag

<errors>

  <error id="first-name" indexes="" label="First Name" alert="Must contain..."/>

</errors>

And put the XForms controls to display the error: (Exactly copied from orbeon blog), I copied the css of dmv-errors-table.

<xforms:group ref="instance('errors-instance')/error">

  <table class="dmv-errors-table">

    <xforms:repeat nodeset="instance('errors-instance')/error" id="errors-repeat">

      <tr>

        <th><xforms:output value="@label"/></th>

        <td>

          <xforms:output value="if (string-length(@indexes) > 0)

            then concat('(Row ', @indexes, ')') else ''"/>

        </td>

        <td><xforms:output value="@alert"/></td>

      </tr>

    </xforms:repeat>

  </table>

</xforms:group>

I can see it's doing the check and the constraint works (it displays the exclamation sign), however, it does not populate the error instance.

Any idea about this? Thanks heaps guys J


Cheers,

 

Christian

Thanks for your reply Erik,

Okay, I've converted and removed some lines, attached is snippet of the
code.

Still the same thing, it doesn't want to populate the <error> instances.
Any feedback would be very appreciated.

Cheers,

RE: Creating quick form validation

Christian Lebe-2
In reply to this post by Christian Lebe-2

Hi Erik,

Been reading the tutorial again. And I did some flaw in my own code.
Been trying to fix it, but it's still not working.

I'm quite sure the constraint is correct, I can see the exclamation mark
showing and the alert. However, it doesn't seem to trigger the
xforms-invalid event, the errors-instance do not get populated.

I have attached the xhtml compatible in sandbox.

Any feedback would be very appreciated.

Cheers,
 
Christian

Hi Erik,

Been reading the tutorial again. And I did some flaw in my own code.
Been trying to fix it, but it's still not working.

I'm quite sure the constraint is correct, I can see the exclamation mark
showing and the alert. However, it doesn't seem to trigger the
xforms-invalid event, the errors-instance do not get populated.

I have attached the xhtml compatible in sandbox.

Any feedback would be very appreciated.

Cheers,
 
Christian

Thanks for your reply Erik,

Okay, I've converted and removed some lines, attached is snippet of the
code.

Still the same thing, it doesn't want to populate the <error> instances.
Any feedback would be very appreciated.

Cheers,
 
Christian

Christian,

The easiest way for us to look at this is for you to attach a sample
that runs in the sandbox. See:

Re: Creating quick form validation

Jack Cox
In reply to this post by Christian Lebe-2
Christian,

I had a problem a couple of weeks ago with the validation code.  I
discovered that the event('target-id') always returned an empty string,
whereas event('target') returned the id of the control that was
invalid/valid.  I changed all the event('target-id') references to
event('target') and the code works.

As somebody else suggested as well, try to change event('target-id') to
event('target').
