Inserting controls into a repeater on a form from a dialog.

Hi,

I have to display the values from the dialog on the parent form. The values on
the dialog are dynamic, so I am using a repeater on the dialog also. In one
colemn of the repeater I have placed a button, which is supposed to insert one
of the values of corresponding crow in the parent form's repeater.

Following is the code description:

<!-- Parent Form Repeater's Instance-->
<xforms:instance id="repeatTemplate">
         <contents>
        <content />
         </contents>
</xforms:instance>

<!-- Parent Form's Repeater -->
<fr:grid columns="1">
<fr:repeat nodeset="contents"
id="form-result-repeat" origin="instance('repeatTemplate')"
columns="1" appearance="xxforms:table" startindex="1">
<fr:body><fr:tr><fr:td>
<xforms:output ref="instance('repeatTemplate')/content">
     <xforms:label>Files Attached</xforms:label><
</xforms:output>
</fr:td></fr:tr></fr:body>
</fr:repeat>
</fr:grid>

<!--Trigger defined in the column of repeater of the dialog -->
<xxforms:dialog...../>
--------------
<xforms:trigger id="attach-file-trigger">
    <xforms:label>Attach</xforms:label>
        <xforms:action ev:event="DOMActivate">
             <xforms:insert
           context="."
                   nodeset="contents"
                   origin="instance('repeatTemplate')"  
at="index('form-result-repeat')" position="after" />
        <xforms:setvalue
ref="instance('repeatTemplate')/content[index('form-result-repeat')]"
value="instance('searchResult')/file[index('result-repeat')]/name" />
         </xforms:action>
</xforms:trigger>
----------
</xxforms:dialog>

This code is not working. Though I am able to set the value in a simple test
output control using setvalue element. I guess the problem is with the insert
element, but I am not able to figure out.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure, but i think you can't address the node directly that
should be repeated. Especially, the origin attribute isn't available for
the xforms:repeat, it should be in the xforms:insert. The context of
that node(s) is determined by the nodeset attribute of the
xforms:repeat, so you may try to:

- put the absolute path including instance() there (in the
xforms:repeat), in your example:

<fr:repeat nodeset="instance('repeatTemplate')/contents"
id="form-result-repeat" columns="1" appearance="xxforms:table"
startindex="1">

and

- reference the node that should be repeated using a relative path, in
your example <xforms:output ref="content">

Hi Florian,

I have tried to implement your suggestions but still I am not able to insert
rows. FYI, I am using Orbeon Form Builder (and hence Orbeon Form Runner) to run
my example.

i had a mistake in my suggestion, sorry - the nodeset attribute of the
xforms:repeat element should reference the data instance node, not the
repeat-template instance. The origin attribute of the xforms:insert
element instead has to reference the repeat-template instance.

But there may be a lot of other sources for problems, and in addition, i
don't have expericene with form builder and the code generated by that tool.

Hi, Still not able to insert a row in fr:repeat element.
Does form runners fr:repeat needs any special treatment while inserting a row
as compared to its XForms counterpart?
