[opencms-dev] SelectBoxes in OAMP Webform 1.4.1

[Tobias Karrer]

Hi Paul,

 

was trying to use the dynamic field as well, but this isn't rendered in
the frontend. As stated in CmsDynamicField it "represents a dynamic
field, i.e. _its value will be generated just before committing data_."

 

I meanwhile found a possibility to add additional field implementations
in the head of CmsFieldFactory source code, using the file
"custom_form_field.properties", but I didn't get it running yet... 

 

Greets, 

Tobias

Hi again Tobias,

 

I just realized you can probably use the "Dynamic" field for a countries
drop-down in OAMP Webforms. Have a look at the docs, I think all you
need is a class that implements a particular interface. It's likely the
easiest approach, and more modular too - it will be like an add-on to
the module.

 

What I wrote was for my own forms module, not Alkacon's, so I'm using my
own packages there.

 

I don't know if there's any best practice when extending/modifying these
"standard" modules, but I've usually used the original package myself
(downloaded the source, modified it to my needs and then built new
replacement JARs).

 

Cheers,

Paul

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: 

 

(Stored in workplace.properties / messages.properties, and used as a
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
