I am new at programming and have been unable to code a boolean button
into my Zope Portal registgration form that can recall the previous
selection such that it can be de-selected. Basically, I want to enable
a user on my site to sign-up, flip a boolean on, log out, then later log
back in and unflip that boolean. It's the "unflip" that catches me. I
have been able to make the boolean reflect the fact that it is selected
when the user logs back on, back I can't make it unselectable. Here's
the code I've got now that doesn't allow for de-selecting,
input type="checkbox" name="current_college_student"
dtml-if" member.current_college_student"
checked
/dtml-if
value="member.current_college_student"
bCurrent College Student/b
I guess I need to tell the database that if no value is entered, it
should delete "member.current_college_student" from its records.
I am not sure what your problem is here.
Are you talking about the fact that if the checkbox isn't checked, that
the browser doesn't send *any* information about the field
'current_college_student'?
If so, you can check for it's absense with the DTML construct 'dtml-unless
current_college_student .. /dtml-unless. Or you could add a hidden form
field *before* the checkbox which defines a default, empty value, like so:
input type="hidden" name="current_college_student:default" value=""
You can of course put any other value in there. The browser will always
pass this back to Zope, and then you can test for the value of
current_college_student.
Hope this helps!!
That doesn't quite do it. Someone joins the network and is taken to a mandatory form
where they fill in eight pages of information about themself. They submit the
information. Everything's cool up to this point.
A year later, they graduate from school and become a farmer. They still want to be a
member of the network. They log back in, re-access their form information, deselect
the checkbox for "student" and select the "professional" checkbox. I can't get my
zportal ZODB to recognize the deselection. You'll notice in the code above that when
the box is checked and submitted, the value "member._" is submitted to the
database. To display a checked box when the page is re-loaded, I use dtml-if
"member.__"checked/dtml-if within the inpupt type=boolean... tag.
Now, I want to tell the database that if a form page is re-submitted and a boolean box
that was checked is no longer checked, it's previous value should be deleted from that
user's record.
Can anybody shed any light on the matter?
