Re: Re: Form Builder. Link control with model instance node.

I'm assuming we are talkin about uploading a predefined xml model and then using the builder to associate the XForms controls? I'd be interested in an answer to this.

thanks,
Carl

Carl,

Currently, Form Builder produces its own XML document, which looks
like this:

<form>
<section-1>
<control-1/>
<control-2/>
...
</section-1>
<section-2>
...
</section-2>
</form>

Form Builder allows you to set the names of the elements used above,
so you get:

<form>
<personal-info>
<first-name/>
<last-name/>
...

But it does not allow you to change the structure of the document for
now.

It is obviously a very important feature, but it won't be in Form
Builder 1.0.

yes, you expres myself better than me ;-)

I want to upload my own model instance and link controls with instance nodes.

Like this for example:

<xforms:bind id="rule_date" nodeset="instance('uploaded_instance_to_form_builder')/fecha" type="xs:date"/>
.............
<xforms:input bind="rule_date" id="dateinputcontrol"><xforms:label>Date: </xforms:label></xforms:input>
............

It means that the builder have to give me a mean of upload my own model instances and link, for example, the control "dateinputcontrol" with my own instance node by means of an xpath expression or a kind of visual node navigator".

it's understood?

thx

Re: Re: Re: Re: Form Builder. Link control with model instance node.

yip i understand it well :) I'm looking for the same functionality :) very similar to the way MS InfoPath allows a control to be associated with a data source element :) I don't think this i available in the first version, hoping to see it soon tho :)

ergo, people wanting the same understand better among themselves ;-)

Openoffice xforms have the same approach. You have to refer an instance from the form and bound controls with xpath expressions...

I understand from this that it would be better is *all* form controls
would refer to instance data through @bind. Currently this is only
done for controls for which you specify validation. I think that this
would be good, especially since recently we improved the way binds are
handled.

Remember it is a alpha code. So we are still "hiding" it a little bit,
as we prefer for now that developers look at it rather than end users.

This is now a FAQ, so I think we will have to make it easier real soon.

You access the builder through a URL of the form:

http://[host]:[port]/[context]/fr/orbeon/builder

e.g.:

http://localhost:8080/orbeon/fr/orbeon/builder
