Looking for a good way to handle this in Velocity
Sorry, I couldn't come up with a better subject line.
I have come across something that I'm not sure how to implement in Velocity in a
clean way. I create a multiple select widget and populate it with categories like
this:
<select multiple size=6 name=included[]>
#foreach ($category in $model.Categories)
<option value='$category' >$category
#end
</select>
That works fine. What I really want to do is figure out, for each category in the
category list, if the $category is an element in the $model.Included array, so I
could add the "selected" modifier to the <option> tag.
Is there a MVC-friendly way to do this?

I think I would do this in the following way:
MySourceClass {
String[] categories = // whatever;
String selectedCategory = whatever;
Vector getCategories() {
Vector ret = new Vector();
for (int i=0;i < categories.length; i++) {
SelectionItem si = new SelectionItem();
si.value = categories[i];
si.description = categories[i];
if (categories[i].equals(selectedCategory)) si.selected = true;
}
return ret;
}
public static class SelectionItem {
boolean selected;
String value;
String description;
// getter methods...
}
}
<select multiple size=6 name=included[]>
#foreach ($item in $model.categories)
<option value='${item.value}' >${item.description} #if (${item.selected}) selected #end
#end
</select>

Re: Problems with navigation on templates
Posted by Dan Bachelder <ch...@chowda.net>.
this is a turbine question.. the whole $screen_placeholder and $navigation
this is turbine specific... the placeholder is your "screen" in turbine...
so if you want 2 dynamic things in there just make your "screen" parse two
other VM files... the syntax is velocity but the semantics are turbine...

Hello !!
Right now im thinking in changin the structure, buet I'd like to know if I
can have 2 screen_placeholders... here is my code, but I want to add an
additional
screen_placeholder but I cannot find if this is posible, in the
documentation says nothing about this issue...
here is my current code:
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
$navigation.setTemplate("/DefaultTop.vm")
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">
$screen_placeholder
</td>
<td width="20" align="right" valign="top">
$navigation.setTemplate("/Menu.vm")
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
$navigation.setTemplate("/DefaultBottom.vm")
</td>
</tr>
</table>
It belongs to my Default.vm file, and here is where I want to add the other
screen_placeholder.
Any thoughts ???
Thanks in advance !!!

Hi everyone !!

but when I try to load a navigation template from a screen template
I just a web page showing the variable names but without format nor data.
I'd like to know how can I achieve such loading process !!
Any suggestion ??
Thanks in advance

Please stop the HTML emails.
Where are the Velocimacros?
Also, what is a screen_placeholder? That isn't a Velocity concept.

Hey, your 3AM answer is better than my 5PM answer. And Trevor's answer is along
similar lines, but handles the more generic case where option value != option
description.
Thanks both of you for the help.

You could make Categories contain two things, value and flag. The flag
would indicate to the view that it has to render it as selected.
Something like:
<select multiple size=6 name=included[]>
#foreach ($category in $model.Categories)
<option #if($category.flag)selected#end
value='$category.value' >$category.value
#end
</select>
