[cforms] convenience functions in flowscript event handlers?

[Max Pfingsthorn <m....@hippo.nl>]

Hi!

I'm getting to know cforms better everyday and I am very impressed. Currently, I am implementing a translation from schema to cforms. One constraint, which is already taken care of in cforms, is event handling. However, since I autogenerate widget IDs, I need to abstract the calls to event.source.lookupWidget() to include transformation of the names. Is there any way how I can define those convenience functions (e.g. lookup(event,'../../some/path')) once and use them in those flowscript snippets in <fd:on-value-changed/>, for example? Can I just include them in the sitemap like usual or are those scripts run in a different context?

Best regards,

Max Pfingsthorn

Hi!
Check these code snippets from the DreamTeamExample
on webapps\cocoon\samples\blocks\forms\dreamteam

   <fd:on-value-changed>
   <fd:javascript>
   // this script can be found in team.js
    updateNameWidget(event);
   </fd:javascript>
   </fd:on-value-changed>

function updateNameWidget(event) {
   var value = event.source.value;
   var memberIdwidget = event.source.lookupWidget("myWidget");
}

Hope this helps.

Greetings,
CarlosN.

Just declare plain flowscript functions  in a script loaded by the
sitemap.
