Re: the theme for the form widget

[Jacopo Cappellato]

I have some code that I can share with my initial (incomplete) implementation of a form and screen widget renderers based on ftl macros:

Cheers,

the idea is that the html code is created by ftl macros, the macro calls are executed by the Screen/FormRenderers I am working on it in my very limited spare time but I would be more than happy to share the code, especially if others will help me to complete the implementation.

that's a good idea, I will submit a jira issue later.

Hi Guo,
this looks interesting!

I think the best would be submitting a simple patch in a jira issue
when you have some ready.

Hi all,

We are creating the "theme" for the ofbiz widget form, why we create

this?

We found it's very difficultty to extend the current form widget, all the

widget generation code is hard code in HtmlFormRenderer, we need to

change

this file if we want to add some function to the form, like ajax.

And yes, we have some ajax function in ofbiz now, but the code of
HtmlFormRenderer with ajax is much harder for understanding.

function in ofbiz without mess.

like the code: "if(ajaxEnabled)". In fact , we want to implement the dojo So we decide to extract the hard code is responsible for the html form generation to the ftl files, like the struts2 does. If you know well

about

struts2, then you will also know the form theme we are creating.

Those ftl files is responsible for the html code generation, like

text.ftl:

<input type="text"<#rt/>
name="${rp.name?default( <http://rp.name?default%28>"")?html}"<#rt/>
<#include "class.ftl" />
<#if rp.value?exists>
<#escape x as x?html> value="${rp.value}" </#escape> <#rt/>
</#if>
<#if rp.textSize?exists>
size="${rp.textSize?html}"<#rt/>
</#if>
<#if rp.maxlength?exists>
maxlength="${rp.maxlength?html}"<#rt/>
</#if>
<#if rp.textId?exists>
id="${rp.textId?html}"<#rt/>
</#if>
<#if rp.event?exists && rp.action?exists>
${rp.event?html}="${rp.action?html}"<#rt/>
</#if>
<#if rp.clientAutocomplete?exists && !rp.clientAutocomplete>
 autocomplete="off"<#rt/>
</#if>
/>

html text instand of the hard code.


and dojo/text.ftl. By setting the theme with code

Then, in the renderTextField method, we use the ftl file to generate the Finally,we can have different themes like simple/text.ftl ajax/ text.ftl

"theme=simple/ajax/dojo "

, the corresponding theme file like text.ftl will be loaded. The

attachment

is the dojo theme capture.

If you are interested or have any advises, we can discuss it in detail.
