Thanks Ben, this is exactly what I was looking for. Actually I form2_bind_xml.xml is the file I've been looking at and it's not in my version of it (2.1.6 release), are you using the HEAD version?

Thanks again,
-Alex

If you check out the form examples, you'll see:

    <fb:on-bind>
      <!-- executed on updates AND right after the insert -->
      <fb:javascript id="id" path="@id" direction="save">
        <fb:save-form>
          var appValue = jxpathPointer.getValue();
          if (appValue == '') {
              var precSiblId =
jxpathContext.getValue("../preceding-sibling::contact/@id");
              var newId = Number(precSiblId) + 1
              jxpathPointer.setValue(newId.toFixed(0));
          }
        </fb:save-form>
      </fb:javascript>

Which is inside:
form2_bind_xml.xml

Which is (probably) run from:
http://localhost:82/samples/blocks/forms/form2xml.flow

(I'm sure you'll figure out the URL differences)

Which seems to work ok for me.

Ben

Subject: [CForms] Creating unique ids for new repeater rows

I'm a bit stuck here in trying to figure out how to assign a
unique id to new repeater rows.  I tried referencing an
external pipeline:

     <fb:on-insert-row>
       <fb:insert-node src="cocoon:/default-record"/>
     </fb:on-insert-row>

where the "default-record" pipeline would create a record and
assign a unique id attribute, however, it seems that the
pipeline is being called only once, so all my records end up
getting the same id.

It feels like there should be an obvious simple way of doing
it and I'm just completely missing it!


Thanks, -Alex
