NOTE: I don't use Catalyst or FormBuilder. So this may have 0 relevance here,
but I think I understand what you guys are talking about.
What about doing this instead for those complicated cases:
------------------------------------------
[% textarea_default = BLOCK %]
[% - FOREACH subscriber IN subscriber_members -%]
[%- subscriber -%]
[% END -%]
[% END %]
<textarea name= [% field.subscribers.name] rows=.... cols=...>[%
field.subscribers.field(value => textarea_default) %]</textarea>
------------------------------------------
For this simple case, I would of course use the join vmethod instead, though.
------------------------------------------
<textarea name= [% field.subscribers.name] rows=.... cols=...>[%
field.subscribers.field(value => subscriber_members.join('')) %]</textarea>
------------------------------------------
One thing that could be bad is that you always have to process the default
value. Maybe you could hack in a perl subroutine to pass to
field.subscribers.field(value => mysub('textarea_default_block')) that would
accept the name of a block to process if necessary. (This would require that
the value param accepts subroutines of course.)
Roughly mysub would look like:
sub mysub{
my ($block_name) = @_;
return sub{
return $tt->context->process($block_name)
}
}
Just throwing ideas out there for you. They may need refinement.
