xf:output appearance="xxf:download" + readonly

Hi there,

I'm trying to make an output control readonly until other conditions are met. This is working fine for other controls (like checkboxes or triggers) but for a download the link is always active.

Is readonly not supported for an xforms:output?

<xforms:output ref="./generated-pdf-temp-file" appearance="xxforms:download">
    <xforms:label><xforms:output value="../label"/></xforms:label>
    <xforms:mediatype ref="@mediatype"/>
    <xforms:filename ref="@filename"/>
</xforms:output>


<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('products-instance')/product/checklist/item/label"
    readonly="not(empty(../preceding-sibling::item)) and
             (../preceding-sibling::item/status != 'checked')" />

cheers,
Lachlan

Hi Lachlan,

What would be the expected behavior? Did you expect the link to be disabled, i.e. to have the text of the link shown instead of an active link?

Alex

Yes, that's correct.

That is what happens for an xforms:trigger, so I was needing the same effect.

Good point: I added an issue for this; see the link below. (But since this is not high priority, it is unlikely to be resolved very soon unless sponsored by a customer.)

No worries. I'll find a workaround.
cheers

Actually - is there a way for a trigger to act as a download?

Not really. I think it is better, as a workaround, to make the <xf:output appearance="xxf:download"> non-relevant when you don't want people to be able to download the file (so it is hidden and you can be sure that users really won't be able to download the file), and instead just show a piece of text saying that the file cannot be downloaded.
