I'm using SQLFORM.grid for my form. The view is showing up fine and i can hide fields. But when i go into the Edit page, i want to have certain fields not readable and not writeable. I have set it to be readable=False before the SQLFORM.grid call and also in the request.args == 'edit'. I can confirm it detects the edit page but for some reason, it doesn't run the read and write.
following is the controller:
def display_form():
db.items.timeStamp.readable = False
db.items.imageName.readable = False
db.items.isCopied.writeable = True
query = (db.items.numSold > 100)
default_sort_order = [db.items.numSold]
if len(request.args) > 1 and ('edit' in request.args):
db.items.timeStamp.readable = False
db.items.imageName.writeable = False
form = SQLFORM.grid(query=query, orderby=default_sort_order, create=False,
deletable=False, editable=True, maxtextlength=64, paginate=25, csv=False,
user_signature=False,
links=[dict(header=T('Profit'),body=lambda row: row.profit),
dict(header=T('Image'), body = lambda rowB: A(IMG(_src=URL('static', "images/"+
rowB.imageName.replace('\\','/')), _width=50, _height=50),
_href=URL('static', "images/"+ rowB.imageName.replace('\\','/'))))],
selectable=get_chosenItems
)
else:
form = SQLFORM.grid(query=query, orderby=default_sort_order, create=False,
deletable=False, editable=True, maxtextlength=64, paginate=25, csv=False,
user_signature=False,
links=[dict(header=T('Profit'),body=lambda row: row.profit),
dict(header=T('Image'), body = lambda rowB: A(IMG(_src=URL('static', "images/"+
rowB.imageName.replace('\\','/')), _width=50, _height=50),
_href=URL('static', "images/"+ rowB.imageName.replace('\\','/'))))],
selectable=get_chosenItems
)
return dict(form=form)
I can tell that when on the edit page, it would go in the if statement, however, it totally ignores the readables i set there.
Should i be calling the form once again within the edit page?
I feel that it's redundant.
To prevent fields from being included on edit forms, set both the readable and writable attributes to False. If you set writable to False but leave readable as True, then you'll see a read-only value for the field on the form.

I wrote a function to update Validator rules on an input if a certain option was selected, using this method (the forms are built using FormGroup):
onValueChanged(data : any) {
let appVIP1 = this.vip1TabForm.get('option1');
let appVIP2 = this.vip2TabForm.get('option2');
let appVIP3 = this.vip3TabForm.get('option3');
//Set required validation if data is 'option3'
if(data != 'option3') {
//Due to initialization errors in UI, need to start with the case
//That there are validations, check to remove them
appVIP1.setValidators([]);
appVIP2.setValidators([]);
appVIP3.setValidators([]);
}
else {
appVIP1.setValidators([Validators.required]);
appVIP2.setValidators([Validators.required]);
appVIP3.setValidators([Validators.required]);
}
}
And I bind that function call to a click event on radio buttons (I initially used the guide from this answer, but the onChange function didn't bind correctly).
This works great, and if the user selects option 1 or 2, the validations are empty, and won't be triggered. If they select option 3, the validations are shown and submission is stopped. However, I run into the problem where the user submits, sees the error, and goes back to change to option 1 or 2. While the validator is cleared, my form still reads as invalid. I have multiple input fields I am validating, so I can't just set the form to valid if the validator is removed this way. How would I go about doing this? Can I remove the has-error for one particular field in the formgroup?
If the correct validators are in place, you can manually call AbstractControl#updateValueAndValidity after they select an option:
this.formBuilder.updateValueAndValidity();
(Where, of course, this.formBuilder is your FormBuilder instance.)
You can also call it on FormElements directly.
This is commonly used to trigger validation after a form element's value has been programmatically changed.
Instead of removing and adding validations. It is more simple to enable and disable fields. You need to add the Validators.required for all required fields. And disable the fields which are not required.
onValueChanged(data : any) {
let appVIP1 = this.vip1TabForm.get('option1');
let appVIP2 = this.vip2TabForm.get('option2');
let appVIP3 = this.vip3TabForm.get('option3');
if(data != 'option3') {
appVIP1.disable();
appVIP2.disable();
appVIP3.disable();
}
else {
appVIP1.enable();
appVIP2.enable();
appVIP3.enable();
}
}
I use the following to read hidden text.
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument.Content.TextRetrievalMode.IncludeHiddenText = true;
var Text = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument.Content.Text;
But it doesn't return hidden text. Moreover, if I check TextRetrievalMode.IncludeHiddenText, it's still false - my statement is ignored but it doesn't throw any exception.
How to read hidden text please ?
Accessing the text retrieval mode like in your sample will always return a fresh Range object with the default configuration. You need to get a range object, set the TextRetrievalMode on that object and then get the text from that same object:
var range = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument.Range();
range.TextRetrievalMode.IncludeHiddenText = true;
var text = range.Text;
I have a form that creates a New Work Order. I want to be able to pull the ClientID from the New Client Form or the Main Menu, whichever is open. However I am not getting the desired results:
I have used =IIf(IsNull(Forms![New Client]![txtClientID]), Forms![Main Menu]![txtClientID], Forms![New Client]![txtClientID]) in the Default Value of the Control on the New Work Order Form. I get the correct ID when I go to the form from New Client, but a #Name error when I try to access it from the Main Menu.
What can I do to make it work?
You need to check if the form is loaded, for example (you need to add your own error traps):
Function IsLoaded(ByVal strFormName As String) As Boolean
Const conObjStateClosed = 0
Const conDesignView = 0
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acForm, strFormName) <> conObjStateClosed Then
If Forms(strFormName).CurrentView <> conDesignView Then
IsLoaded = True
End If
End If
However, it may be easier to use OpenArgs ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff820845(v=office.15).aspx )
In which case you could say something like:
If IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
MsgBox "No openargs"
Else
Me.txtClientID = Me.Openargs
End If
Or even use Openargs to set the default value.
Can I create a "special" type of tt_content, so text is beeing processed in some custom ways before outputtet?
In my case I would like to add ###MY_MARKER### somewhere in header and/or bodytext and have it replaced by the right words for the given page.
eg:
When visiting this page: mypage.com/?marker=test
Header in tt_content: "Welcome to ###MY_MARKER##, enjoy
Output in browser: "Welcome to TEST, enjoy"
I CAN do it by making a custom plugin. Question is more if I can reuse normal tt_contant for the same purpose
Yes, you can easily extend the tt_content by adding your own TCA configuration to the typo3conf/extTables.php file:
t3lib_div::loadTCA('tt_content');
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['CType']['config']['items']['user_my_type'] = array(
0 => 'My custom content',
1 => 'user_my_type',
2 => 'i/tt_content.gif',
);
$TCA['tt_content']['ctrl']['typeicon_classes']['user_my_type'] = 'mimetypes-x-content-text';
$TCA['tt_content']['ctrl']['typeicons']['user_my_type'] = 'tt_content.gif';
/* In the following either copy, insert and modify configuration from some other
content elemenet (you can find it in the ADMIN TOOLS -> Configuration - $TCA)... */
$TCA['tt_content']['types']['user_my_type']['showitem'] = '';
/* ...or assign it some other configuration so that it's exactly the same
as some other content type and stays the same after some update of TYPO3: */
$TCA['tt_content']['types']['user_my_type']['showitem'] = $TCA['tt_content']['types']['text']['showitem'];
After that, just set in your Typoscript template how the element is supposed to be rendered:
tt_content.user_my_type = COA
tt_content.user_my_type {
10 = TEMPLATE
10 {
template = TEXT
template.field = header
marks {
MY_MARKER = TEXT
MY_MARKER.value = TEST
}
}
20 = TEMPLATE
20 {
template = TEXT
template {
field = bodytext
required = 1
parseFunc = < lib.parseFunc_RTE
}
marks < tt_content.user_my_type.10.marks
}
}
NOTES
The Typoscript rendering is just a simplified example. You might want to add other standard configuration like in other elements, e.g. the one that adds edit icons for frontend display.
The marker in my example can be populated by the value of a GET paramater in the URL as you wanted but this would have nasty security implications. You would certainly need very good validation of that input.
I am using sessions to populate a multi select box with options in my Zend application.
The user selects one or more options and fills in other fields on the form and then submits. If the user didn't select all of the options in the multi select then the form is displayed again but the multi select only has the options that the user did not select the last time. This process goes on until there are no more options from the multi select left to process.
Here is the code I use to get rid of the options that have already been processed so that they are not used to populate the multi select box:
if($form_successful){
// TODO remove $post['keyword_names'] (i.e. already processed) from $keyword_names (that come from $_SESSION)
$keyword_names = array_diff($keyword_names, $post['keyword_names']);
print_r($keyword_names);
if(is_array($keyword_names) && !empty($keyword_names)){
// save updated $keyword_names into $_SESSION['workflow1']
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('workflow1');
$session->keyword_names = $keyword_names;
// set flag to false so that we display form again
$form_successful = false;
}else{ // all keywords have been assigned
// go to next step
$this->_redirect('/workflow-1/step-'.($step+1).'/');
}
}
print_r($keyword_names); displays the correct options, however when the form is loaded when the user submits, the multi select displays the options that were there from the begining ie the options the user has just selected and submitted are not being taken out of the multi select, it is only when the user submits the form again then the multi select box updates.
Appreciate the help.
Solved the issue by making use of URL parameters. Here is the code (might differ a lot from what I posted first because some big changes were made):
// after successful form submission
if($form_successful){
// remove $post['keyword_names'] (i.e. already processed) from $keyword_names (that come from $_SESSION)
$keyword_names = array_diff($keyword_names, $post['keyword_names']);
// save remaining $keyword_names into $_SESSION['workflow1']
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('workflow1');
$session->keyword_names = $keyword_names;
if(is_array($keyword_names) && !empty($keyword_names)){
// redirect to the same step again - to ensure that the form will reflect (in select lists) newly created AdGroup and/or Campaign
// GET parameteres ($params_array) provide a way to remember user's choice
$params_array = array();
if(!empty($post['match_type_id'])){
$params_array['match_type_id'] = $post['match_type_id'];
}
if(!empty($post['with_permutations'])){
$params_array['with_permutations'] = $post['with_permutations'];
}
if(!empty($ad_group_id)){
$params_array['ad_group_id'] = $ad_group_id;
}
$this_step_url = UrlUtils::assemble('', $this->getRequest()->getActionName(), $this->getRequest()->getControllerName(), $this->getRequest()->getModuleName(), $params_array);
$this->_redirect($this_step_url);
}else{ // all keywords have been assigned
// go to next step
$this->_redirect('/workflow-1/step-'.($step+1).'/');
}
}
So you don't have any code about Zend_Form object here. How do you populate the form element? If you post your class code which extends Zend_Form (or any other code dials with your form) then I may help. But in any case you can populate your multiselectbox with setMultiOptions() method or addMultiOption() for each item in multiselectbox.
