I need to use a dynamic autocomplete based on ws rest to show suggestions of my field. I used it but it didn't work, it didn't update the list of suggestions. Example:
<fr:autocomplete
id="control-3-control"
appearance="minimal"
labelref="#label"
resource="http://127.0.0.1/api/ws/pays/all"
bind="control-3-bind">
<xf:label ref="$form-resources/control-3/label"/>
<xf:hint ref="$form-resources/control-3/hint"/>
<xf:alert ref="$fr-resources/detail/labels/alert"/>
<xf:itemset ref="./_">
<xf:label ref=".//libelle"/>
<xf:value ref=".//id"/>
</xf:itemset>
</fr:autocomplete>
And this is the screenshot:
Doing the "filtering" based on the value entered by users is the responsibility of the service the autocomplete is calling. However, it can't do this if you don't provide it with the current value of the field. For this, use {$fr-search-value} somewhere in the URL, e.g. something like:
http://127.0.0.1/api/ws/pays/all?search={$fr-search-value}
And of course, then your service needs to take the value of the search request parameter into account. The autocomplete component will automatically call the service again and again, as necessary as users type in the field.
This allows you to search in a large dataset without having to return the whole set of possible values to Orbeon Forms.

I have a simple form that's in a dialog fragment used to submitting two fields for log-in auth.
For simplicity I was hoping to not have to use data binding, but rather use some method to gather all data inside my sap.ui.layout.form.SimpleForm.
I added a name property to each input element which says in the docs it is " Defines the name of the control for the purposes of form submission."
https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.m.InputBase/controlProperties#name
However hard as I try to find there doesn't seem to be any getFormData methods.
All SO questions and guides either use data binding to a model, or hard-code references to the individual input controls with .getValue() methods.
And looking further into the form API, there doesn't seem to be a Submit event either.
Given an arbitrary form, what would be the best way to gather all submission values without hard-coded references or data-binding?
Would a method that walks though all the children elements of a form looking for all submission values work? I think it might, but there are more submission input types then just the input component.
You can get the value of the fields by directly using;
var oField = sap.ui.getCore().byId('IdOfTheFieldAtTheDialog');
var sValue = oField.getValue();
But it's always better and convenient to use data binding which keep things neat.
And If I assume that you have the id of parent form container, you can iterate over the items and get the sap.m.Input elements in it without knowing the IDs of the individual inputs, and you may check the name property of the fields if you want. Check this snippet;

I am using CRM 2016, and trying to customize email template by adding a dynamic data. I know that CRM allows to use only specific vanilla entities, but when I explorer an old code I found an option to use {0}, {1} etc' for injecting data from non vanilla entities (by code) - unfortunately that code cannot be tested...
Have someone heard or know about that way? is it possible? what to google for?
You can do this by manually typing similar marker what CRM is using. Note that this is not documented in SDK.
Dynamic Values For Custom Entities In Email Templates
In the template, where you want the value to appear, type within 2 brackets an exclamation point followed by the entity logical name. After the entity name, add a colon, and then the field logical name, ending it with a semi colon. If you’d like a default value if nothing was found, after the semi colon add the default value.
{!<entitylogicalname>: <fieldlogicalname>; <Default Text>}
More in part 2:
The Global Template Type is what you’d want to use for custom
entities, or any other entity not listed in the template type drop
down menu. And just to reiterate, regardless of the way you insert
values, whether you use the out of the box insert method or you
manually type it in, you can only insert values from one record.
Dynamic Values For Email Templates - Part 2
Dynamics' email templates are flawed. You either can't use custom entities or you have no translation. I use this workflow instead. It can do everything : https://github.com/rtebar/dynamics-custom-emails
i have a checkout-page (drupal commerce) form with an address section generated by the module addressfield. currently all text-inputfields have this markup-structure:
<input class="last-name" id="edit-last-name" name="customer_profile_billing[commerce_customer_address][und][0][last_name]">
class + id + name
with this config they validate.
if i change the value of the name attribute the form doesnt validate anymore, the form says:
field XY is required
the form-validator obviously doesnt recognise my inputs.
question: how can i get the validation process to work with a modified name attribute?
You should not be altering the generated HTML in any way. Drupal provides a special way of handling forms and a special way to alter other modules forms. To change the form you should use the configuration options presented to you by the module. If those are insufficient you should create your own Drupal module and then implement hook_form_alter to change the other form. You will need to understand Drupal's hook system.
I'm working with Symfony2 to set up a form, where a Shelf-Entity can be edited.
A shelf contains a collection of Readable-Entities (e.g. Book, Magazine, etc. - all inherit from Readable).
The user has the possibility to add more Readable-Entities (the form is extended via JavaScript) and from a dropdown he can select the type of Readable he wants to add. Depending on the selected dropdown-value, different form fields are rendered. So far so good.
Now, when the form is submitted to the server, depending on the Readable-Type the user selected in the form, a different entity-type should be instantiated.
If I don't do anything, Symfony just instantiates the base class Readable (and not Book, Magazine, etc.).
How can I tell Symfony to instantiate the correct type of Readable depending on the selected value from the dropdown?
I tried with FormEvent-Listeners, but:
in PRE_SUBMIT I only get an array containing the "raw" form data with $event->getData(), i.e. no entities have been instatiated so far. However, at this stage, I still have access to value of the dropdown.
in SUBMIT the form data was already assigned to the appropriate entities. Also the new Readable was already instatiated with the base Readable-Class. But now, I cannot access anymore the value from the dropdown.
What is the correct way to do this?
EDIT
Added a minimal Code-Example for the Shelf FormType:

Code for infinite_form_polycollection:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b5f0ed10ca9c52177f01
Have you tried looking at this part of the doc? As "embedding a form" seems to fit your needs.
It seems that there was something wrong with the PHP-Files of the PolyCollection in the vendor-directory, because after removing everything related to the Infinite Form Bundle from the vendor-dir and reinstalling it with composer, everything is working now. But thanks for your efforts YoannCh
I'm trying to setup a form where some fields needs to be hidden depending on the user role. I'm doing this in my own module using hook_form_FORM_ID_alter. No problem with common text, email or link fields (e.g. $form['field_companyname']['und'][0]['value']['#type']='hidden'). But for an image field or a multiple value file field the usual way won't work.
Anybody can give me a clue?
I think your going about this the wrong way. Since your limitation is based on roles you can just use the permissions system. Check out field permissions module.
I recommend you to use #access for the element instead of just hiding the field.
For field company name it will go like this:
$form['field_companyname']['#access'] = FALSE;
