Hello everybody,
I'm fairly new to lift (and to scala, to be honest), and just trying
to find my way around. So far I like what I'm seeing and deing, but
some things keep me puzzled.
Short version of my confusion: Is
<lift:snippet type="SiteOps.add" form="post">...</lift:snippet>
equivalent to
<lift:SiteOps.add>...</lift:SiteOps.add>
?
Long version:
I was trying to implement a typical entry-form for database entities.
The model classes for the database entities have a variety of
verification checks. When checks fail, the form should be redisplayed,
with the previously entered (and probably erroneous) values filled in.
My snippet is pretty much a mixture of the various examples and the
starter guide:
def add(form: NodeSeq) = {
val invokedAs = S.invokedAs
val site = Site.create
def newSite(form: NodeSeq): NodeSeq = {
def saveMe(): Unit = {
site.validate match {
case Nil => site.save ; S.notice("Added " + site.name);
S.redirectTo("/sites/")
case xs => S.error(xs) ; S.mapSnippet(invokedAs, newSite)
}
}
bind("site", form,
"name" -> site.name.toForm,
"abbreviation" -> site.abbreviation.toForm,
"submit" -> SHtml.submit("New", saveMe))
}
newSite(form)
}
With the <lift:snippet type="SiteOps.add" form="post"> style tags,
everything works as expected (form fields are populated after a failed
validation). If I use <lift:SiteOps.add>, the form comes up empty
after a failed validation. What am I getting wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Clemens
