Subject: [ops-users] Repeating a row with multiple cells

Hi,
I am trying in my an application to repeat not just one textarea but many.
I defined:
  <!-- Instance that contains all the projects -->
            <xforms:instance id="fr-form-instance"
xxforms:validation="strict">
                <project xmlns="">
                    <details>
                        ...
                            <relatedprojects>
                                <relatedprojectname/>
                                <relatedprojecturl/>
                            </relatedprojects>
                        ...
                  </details>
But when I create the template:
      <xforms:instance id="relatedprojects-template">
            <relatedprojectname xmlns=""/>
            <relatedprojecturl xmlns=""/>
        </xforms:instance>


... I receive an error that multiple instance in one template are not OK.

How can I  repeat rows with more than one cell (relatedprojectname,
relatedprojecturl etc.)?
What if I want to repeat one textarea and one PDF file selection? Is
this possible?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Regards,
Adrian

Thanks Ryan,
I just started to "discover" Orbeon XForms so I do not have to much
experience.
I am still not able to correct the problem.

I used:
as type declaration:
 <xs:element name="relatedprojects" type <!-- Type for relatedprojects -->
       
                <xs:complexType name="relatedprojects">
                    <xs:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                        <xs:element name="relatedprojectname"
type="xs:string"/>
                        <xs:element name="relatedprojecturl" type="link"/>
                    </xs:sequence>
                </xs:complexType>="relatedprojects"/>

for the instance:

            <!-- Instance that contains all the projects -->
            <xforms:instance id="fr-form-instance"
xxforms:validation="strict">
                <project xmlns="">
                    <details>
                       <title/>
                       <summary/>
                           <relatedprojects>
                               <relatedprojectname>
                               </relatedprojectname>
                               <relatedprojecturl>
                               </relatedprojecturl>
                           </relatedprojects>
                           <topics>
                           </topics>
                   </details>
                   <keydeliverables>

                        <keyabstract/>
                        <keypdf/>
                   </keydeliverables>
                </project>
            </xforms:instance>

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

                <relatedprojectname xmlns=""/>
                <relatedprojecturl xmlns=""/>
                </relatedprojects>
        </xforms:instance>

and for repeating:
    <tr>
          <td>
                 <xforms:label ref="$form-resources/relatedprojects/label"/>
                       <fr:repeat nodeset="relatedprojects"
id="relatedprojects-repeat"
origin="instance('relatedprojects-template')" columns="2"
appearance="xxforms:table">
                            <tr>
                               <td>
                                  <xforms:textarea ref="."
appearance="xxforms:autosize" incremental="true">
                                       <xforms:label
ref="$form-resources/relatedprojectname/label"/>
                                       <xforms:hint
ref="$form-resources/relatedprojectname/hint"/>
                                       <xforms:help
ref="$form-resources/relatedprojectname/help"/>
                                       <xforms:alert
ref="$form-resources/relatedprojectname/alert"/>
                                </xforms:textarea>
                             </td>
                             <td>
                                <xforms:textarea ref="."
appearance="xxforms:autosize" incremental="true">
                                    <xforms:label
ref="$form-resources/relatedprojecturl/label"/>
                                    <xforms:hint
ref="$form-resources/relatedprojecturl/hint"/>
                                    <xforms:help
ref="$form-resources/relatedprojecturl/help"/>
                                    <xforms:alert
ref="$form-resources/relatedprojecturl/alert"/>
                               </xforms:textarea>
                           </td>
                       </tr>
                 </fr:repeat>
               </td>
           </tr>

I want to repeat rows with:
relatedprojectname + relatedprojecturl

and further
a row with the keydeliverables. (but if I will manage the first I will
be able to do it also for the second part).

When I open this XForms in orbeon two textareas appears one next each
other and the Add (+) button, but when I press Add thease textareas
dissapear.
What I am during wrong?

Thanks for the help,
Adrian

I'm not sure what the fr:repeat element does, is this something you have defined?

Perhaps an example of what your trying to achieve that works in the xforms sandbox might help?

Thanks

Adrian,

could you please post a complete xforms example file thats working in
the sandbox? Without complete information, it's hard to find errors.


>    <tr>
>        <td>
>            <xforms:label ref="$form-resources/relatedprojects/label"/>

what's the rationale behind that label? I suppose there's no need for it
if there's no containing xforms control to get labeled.

>                <fr:repeat nodeset="relatedprojects"
>                    id="relatedprojects-repeat"

Some observations: You're using a special namespace fr: for the repeat -
why not the standard xforms:? The origin attribute seems strange - the
specs don't say anything about it, i think it isn't allowed for a
xforms:repeat. It should be moved to the xforms:insert that adds new
nodes to the nodeset. The same applies to the @columns and @appearance
attributes.
Two times a reference to the same instance node? I think the first
should be ref="relatedprojectname" and the second ref="relatedprojecturl"

> and further

hmm - then i think it would be better to use the project nodes as
nodeset for the repeat - otherwise, you will have to "climb up" the axis
to reach the keydeliverables nodes.

If there's a problem with that button, it would be useful to know how
you tried to implement it.

That's right, a label must be within a control.

This is actually from Form Runner, which defines some "components"  
processed by XSLT. But if you use that outside Form Runner, it likely  
won't work.

Hi Florian, Erik,
I attached the form I am using.
It is built in the bookcast directory of the server, using the example
of Bookcast Form for Form Builder provided there.
It is not working in Sandbox as it is now but is displayed well when I type:
http://localhost:8080/orbeon/fr/orbeon/bookcast/new/ in the browser.

Can you please give me an advice how to make it working?
I have the impression that I am mixing functionalities from Form Builder
with XForms one's.
I am a little bit confused.

Regards,
Adrian

i'm very sorry, i thougt you were using "plain" xforms - i don't have
any experience with FormRunner or FormBuilder, and i don't know how to
import your attached xforms file into formbuilder or how to transform it
into standard xforms. I hope other list-members will be able to help you.

Forms that run in Form Runner use some elements with the "fr" prefix,
which implement some concepts that are more high level than what is
available in XForms. Those are then transformed into XForms through
XSLT. So if you build a form with Form Builder, you won't be able to
directly run it in the sandbox, because the sandbox won't understand
those elements with the "fr' prefix.
