"hiding" a multiselect field widget
Hi there,
I have a form in Flow Script (Cocoon 2.1.11) with many different widgets.
I use this definition in two different form templates--in one I hide
some widgets, and in the other I hide some different ones.
All works well, except when I define a multi-select widget.
My definition seems pretty standard:
<fd:multivaluefield id="multi" required="false">
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
<fd:selection-list>
<fd:item value=""/>
<fd:item value="cat"/>
<fd:item value="dog"/>
<fd:item value="mouse"/>
</fd:selection-list>
</fd:multivaluefield>
I need to keep this widget on each of the two forms to preserve its
value as the user clicks between forms without needing to save it to the
database till they click a Save button. In one form I need this widget
to be visible, but not on the other.
But it does not "hide" when I try to hide it using: <ft:widget
id="multi" ><fi:styling type="hidden"/></ft:widget>
I tried with Firefox 23.0.1, IE8 and it makes no difference.
However, if in the form definition, I change the definition to an
ordinary list by replacing "multivaluedfield" by "field", then the
styling command to hide it works correctly.
Is this a known problem with the multi-select widget, and is there a
workaround?

Hi Gary,
That worked. IAll I had to do was change field to multivaluefield and
bingo, it did the job!
<xsl:template match="fi:multivaluefield[fi:styling/@type='hidden']"
priority="2">
<input type="hidden" name="{@id}" id="{@id}" value="{fi:value}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="styling"/>
</input>
</xsl:template>
thanks!

Hi Paul,
I'm using 2.1.7. You may need to add a template to
forms-advanced-field-styling.xsl. There is something for fi:field in
forms-field-styling.xsl:
<xsl:template match="fi:field[fi:styling/@type='hidden']" priority="2">
<input type="hidden" name="{@id}" id="{@id}" value="{fi:value}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="styling"/>
</input>
</xsl:template>
