show variable widgets according to user's selection

[Christina <le...@hotmail.com>]

This problem has perplexed me for a week!
I have to create a page, which basicly shows variable number of variable kinds of widgets according to user's selection from a multifield.
for example, user may selection a "booleanfield"+"field"+"repeater", or user may select "field"+"aggregatedfield"
I think this should be done in the form's template, because we never know what is user's combination of selections, right?
But it tuns out that I totally have no idea how to do it in template.
Would anybody give me some idea?
Thanks a lot!

If I understand it correctly you need some of those "dynamic form
widgets" named struct, class, new and union. There is a formmodel gui
sample in the Cocoon samples.

If your form itself is static, and you only need to switch off/on the
displaying of some widgets you might not need this and end with using
JXTemplateGenerator, which allows basic display logic.
