Including external texts

Hi!

We're trying to include texts into our XForm which are managed in an
external (content management) system.

We tried to insert it the texts by using xinclude. That didn't work out,
because we could not change the behaviour of Orbeon to add the basic
context path to the URL. f:url-norewrite="true" and using an absolute
path (without an server) didn't work.

We also tried to use an instance (which can be loaded (though the path
/../uvw/xyz.xml is ugly)). But whenever we use an instance, we can't add
all the childs and only get a text extract of the selected node.

We also tried to use the mediatype attribute of the xforms:output
element, but that didn't have any effect at all.

I really don't understand, why it is necessary to substitute an absolute
path. This behaviour is making easy things so complicated!

Is there any option to switch it off completely, can I deactivate it on
xincludes or can I somehow insert an whole subset of an instance
(serialization wasn't helpful, because it either inserts an "escaped
sequence like "<tag>" or none of the actual markup).

Thx in advance,

Thorsten

Add:
Certainly we could add an absolute url with an fixed server, but the
application has several stages and these have different adresses. So
that's not an real option...

Hello,

Is it possible to prevent user to enter a date manually i.e. to force
use of pop-up calendar?

Tnx,

Nikola

After some testing, I found a satisfactory solution, that is to add the
following XSL code in theme.xsl (custom or plain)

<xsl:template match="xhtml:input[tokenize(@class, ' ') =
'xforms-type-date']">      
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
            *<xsl:attribute name="readonly"/>*
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

However, it would be better to have a global setting (properties.xml) or
xxforms:readonly attribute.

Hi,

xforms:label within xforms:input does not work correctly because "for"
attribute points to SPAN element instead a text box, due to missing
suffix $xforms-input-1.

Is it possible to insert HTML as a content of xforms:label? If not,
would it possible to add it as a feature in 3.7 final?

Tnx,

Nikola

Yes, this is a known bug:

Yes, this is already possible, except within item/itemsets labels.

Best,

Maybe you could also use CSS to hide the input control?

<[hidden email] So you were successful getting the data from the CMS to an instance,
but displaying that data doesn't work the way you'd like. Is that
correct?

If it is, could you create a stand-alone XForms files that we can run
in the XForms sandbox and that shows the instance with the data and
what you are doing in the <xforms:output>?
