Menu Items

Hi,
    I have a file called menu.xhtml and each menu item has an attribute id. For each menu item i created a separate xhtml file. when ever i select an item the corresponding page should appear below the menu bar. How do i write the theme for performing this task. I tried xsl:include but it doesn't work.

i included the following code in my theme-plain.xsl

                <xhtml:table id="main" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                    <xhtml:tr>
                        <xhtml:td colspan="2" >
                            <xhtml:div style="float: left">
                    <xsl:include href="oxf:/myProject/menu.xhtml" />
                            </xhtml:div>
                        </xhtml:td>
                    </xhtml:tr>
            
                    <xhtml:tr>
                        <xhtml:td colspan="2" >
                            <xhtml:div style="float: left">
                    <xsl:include href="oxf:/myProject/dynamic.xhtml" />
                            </xhtml:div>
                        </xhtml:td>
                    </xhtml:tr>
                </xhtml:table>

dynamic.xhtml page should be depend on the item selected from the menu.

page-flow.xml looks like this.


    <page path-info="/myProject/" view="newProject.xhtml"/>

    <page path-info="/myProject/newProject" view="newProject.xhtml"/>
    <page path-info="/myProject/openProject" view="openProject.xhtml"/>

i am stuck. help me.

The xsi:include element is not processed dynamically. It is processed when
the file is read and validated.

I suspect you would need to write your own custom XBL component and that
would give you very precise control over the css styles, etc., when the
menu item is selected.

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xbl-components-guide

There is also the xforms:case element. It may be a way to get
started.

HTH,
Hank

This isn't something you can do in the theme stylesheet; it will need to be done before that, in the view. What happens when you select something in the menu? Does that take you to a different URL? If so, you would have a mapping in the page-flow.xml for that URL specifying the view to use for that page.

Re: Re: Menu Items

Hi Alex,
Can you give a sample for the view to combine menu and item, or tell me where I can look in the documentation for the help. Yes each item takes into a different URL.

Thanks.

Could you clarify what you mean by "the view to combine menu and item"? I assume that your menu is always the same; so you can add to the page in the theme stylesheet. And the main content of the page going to be driven by the URL, which in turn can be driven by what the user clicked on in the menu.

Re: Re: Re: Menu Items

Alex,

You are absolutely correct. That is what I want to do. I tried xforms:include in theme to include the menu.xhtml for each page, but it didnt work. could you tell me the steps I need to follow. Please help me.

thanks

Try: <xi:include href="your-file.xml" xxi:omit-xml-base="true"/>

And make sure you have the proper namespace declarations for:

xmlns:xxi="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xinclude"

Re: Re: Re: Re: Menu Items

I included the statement

but it does not worked.

Please find the attachment of application called menu.zip also the attachment of theme-plain.xsl. Please tell me wher I was wrong.

Since you include the menu.xhtml into your page, it shouldn't be a full XHTML file, but rather part of a page (in this case a <xhtml:div>). I changed your menu.xhtml to be: menu.xhtml. Also see your full app with this change: menu.zip.

I am glad this worked. To know what has been selected in the menu, you put an event handler on xforms-value-changed inside the <xforms:select1> and do an <xforms:load> to take the browser to the page you want to load.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Menu Items

Alex,
      I put the event like this

        <xforms:select1 ref="select1" appearance="xxforms:menu">
            <xforms:itemset nodeset="instance('items')//item">
                <xforms:label ref="@label"/>
                <xforms:value ref="@value"/>
            </xforms:itemset>
        <xforms:load ev:event="xforms-value-changed" value="if(.='New')" resource="/menu/new" show="replace"/>
        </xforms:select1>
for each item it is giving the page /menu/new. what might be wrong in it.

Phani,

This is wrong:

value="if(.='New')"

There is no @value attribute on xforms:load. Try instead the @if
attribute, which allows for conditional execution of the action:

if=".= 'New'"
