date-control

Hey all!
I have a rather simple and straightforward question.

How do I implement the date-control in my xform without using the formrunner functionality?
I cant seem to get it working with a xs:date or xform:date bind for my input-control.
What is the proper code for this?

Re: date-control

<xforms:bind ref="instance('my-instance')/path_to_date_element" type="xs:date" /> This will make date required
<xforms:bind ref="instance('my-instance')/path_to_date_element" type="xform:date" /> This will make date optional

<xforms:input ref="instance('my-instance')/path_to_date_element">
<xforms:label>Date</xforms:label>
</xforms:input>

Re: date-control

No luck..
To clarify; I haven't declared the formrunner namespace in my namespace declaration.
Not sure wether that is required with this method.

Here's my instance:

<xforms:instance id="fr-form-instance">
<form xmlns="">
<typed-controls>
<eventId/>
</typed-controls>
</form>
</xforms:instance>

..binds:

<xforms:bind ref="instance('fr-form-instance')/form/typed-controls">
<xforms:bind ref="eventId" type="xs:date" />
</xforms:bind>

..and the control:

<xforms:group ref="typed-controls">
<xforms:input ref="eventId">
<xforms:label>Date</xforms:label>
</xforms:input>
</xforms:group>

Re: Re: date-control

I do not use form runner as I code everything external and you can still do the same if you use form runner.

Do not know why form runner uses a different format but just out of chance change this:

<xforms:bind ref="instance('fr-form-instance')/form/typed-controls">
<xforms:bind ref="eventId" type="xs:date" />
</xforms:bind

to this

<xforms:bind ref="instance('fr-form-instance')/typed-controls">
<xforms:bind ref="eventId" type="xs:date" />
</xforms:bind

In my external coding in Orbeon my bind would simply be:

<xforms:bind ref="instance('fr-form-instance')/typed-controls/eventId" type="xs:date" />

and the control:

<xforms:input ref="instance('fr-form-instance')/typed-controls/eventId">
<xforms:label>Date</xforms:label>
</xforms:input>

And you could replace the above with this for testing.

You do have xs namespace defined correct?

Re: Re: date-control

Cant' believe I didn't try it without 'form' in the path..
Thank's a bunch.
Increadibly frustrating seeing I simplified the code and all my binds down to the bare minimum.

Thanks again

Re: Re: Re: date-control

No problem. Keep my contact information handed. I am always looking for small side projects to assist with so if your company/business ever needs some assistance with Orbeon and/or Intalio keep me in mind. Glad I could help.
