Uploading list of items
Hi, I'm newbie with turbine and need to solve a problem.
I'm building a .vm, wich needs to ask the user for input a list of links,
each one with a URL an a description (2 fields for each link). Furthermore
the list needs to have a variable size, since the user could upload 1 or
more links.
What is the best approach, using turbine, to implement this???
I've some experience doing this with struts, but it don't apply now...
Thank you very much.
Carlos.

RE: Uploading list of items
Hi Carlos,
What you would do is something like this in your action (assuming your
boxes
are named url$i and desc$i as below):
for (int i = 1; i <=
data.getRequest().getParameter("CountUserEnteredInLastStep"); i++) {
String url = data.getRequest().getParameter("url" + i);
String desc = data.getRequest().getParameter("desc" + i);
//maybe validate data better than this
if (!url.equals("") && !desc.equals("")) {
store(url, desc);
}
}
So, because in the .vm file your text fields are named url$i and desc$i,
they are passed in the request parameters (by the form posting) as
url1/desc1, url2/desc2, urlN/descN, depending on the number of boxes the
user specified (hidden field CountUserEnteredInLastStep also passed via
request). So you just access them from the request.

Davis, actually I'm calling the event inside the action and I can get the
single parameter values, my problem is how to parse the list of "link
objects"... I mean, the list of url and descriptions...
Thank you!

Sure:

The one you're probably looking for is the Action Events howto. Short but
sweet.
Good luck,

Thank you David... nice tip!
Do you know where I could find one of those howto's explaining how to
implement the action class??

RE: Uploading list of items
Hi Carlos,
Do you know the size beforehand (like prompting the user for the number of
links and then showing this number of boxes)?
If so, this is quite easy using a foreach loop. Something like:
$count = $data.Parameters.CountUserEnteredInLastStep
#foreach (entry in [1..$count])
<!-- show the 2 boxes here, maybe with names url$i and
desc$i -->
URL: <input type="text" size="12" name="url$i" value=""
/>
Desc: <input type="text" size="12" name="desc$i" value=""
/>
#end
You'd have a form that would send the data to an action and process the
data
there (there are howtos on this).
If you want to add a new field each time the user starts typing in one
field, I'm not sure how you'd do it.
Good luck,
DAvid
