Hi Folks, I'm new to looking at XMPP at the protocol level. I have some custom workflow in mind, so I was looking at XEP-0004 [Data Forms].
While it's not absolutely critical, it would be nice if there was a way to implement a form with multiple Submit actions, and a way for the form processor to distinguish them. This is very similar to a common problem encountered in designing HTML forms - except in XMPP, the Submit isn't a form element, it seems to be implicit. The workflow I'm thinking of is queue processing, where you get a queue item - fill out the form, and then want to do either Cancel, Submit, or 'Submit+Next'. While the '+Next' could be implemented as a checkbox, that still makes it two clicks instead of one, and is a bit artificial. Someone want to tell me I've misunderstood the specs? :-) -- David Maxwell, [email protected]|[email protected] --> Mastery of UNIX, like mastery of language, offers real freedom.
