[opencms-dev] SelectBoxes in OAMP Webform 1.4.1

[Tobias Karrer]

Thanks, Paul.

 

So you kind of "registered" your new class or just created the class
CmsSelectionField in package com.alkacon.opencms.formgenerator in your
own classes folder?

 

Thanks as well for the prepared list of countries.

 

Best,

Tobias

Hi Tobias,

 

The easiest approach is perhaps to write your own input type class. 

 

I just did this for another form module. Creating the class was
straight-forward; just a matter of extending the select class and
overriding a method or two. The difficult part was obtaining a list of
countries.

 

Many online generators will produce a list of "countries" for you, but
they will include much more than what we normally refer to as
"countries". (For example: Svalbard and Bouvet Island are not commonly
referred to as countries, since they're both part of Norway.)

 

What you probably want is a list of *sovereign states*. I found no
generator for this, so I ended up with the tedious work of checking each
"country" manually... I'll save you the same boredom. Here's the list I
ended up with:

basis in my countries drop-down class)

Hi,

 

I'd like to fill selectbox-options with a country list, without entering
all countries in the field "Default value".

Is there an easy possibility, or do I have to patch the class
CmsSelectionField?

 

Best,

Tobias
