cforms and complex checking?

[Joose Vettenranta <jo...@iki.fi>]

Hi,

I was looking into cforms and came up with the question..

first one (this might be possible afaik):
Let's like I have form like R^(2x3)-matrix, like this:

question 1: <radio button1 [yes]> <radio button2 [no]>
question 2: <radio button1 [yes]> <radio button2 [no]>
question 3: <radio button1 [yes]> <radio button2 [no]>

and validation goes like, only one of those have to be set to "yes" and 
one to "no" but not the same ones, is this possible?

second one:
Matrix of R^(9x9) (all radio buttons), validation:
- atleast 2 have to be between columns 1-3
- atleast 2 have to be between columns 4-6
- atleast 2 have to be between columns 7-9

is this possible?

third one (I think this is possilble, afaik):
is it possible to make i18n transformation to cform messages?

fourth one:
if I have questions in some basic XML-file.. Can I do it like this with 
xslt:
my xml file -> CForms xml file -> CForms transformer -> my page 
template -> serialize?

fifth one:
in flow script, if I have like 20 pages of forms.. can they all be 
saved in one beam, or do I have to process the data to database or 
something after every successfull request?

last one:
where to find more information about cforms? (I tried cocoon-site, wiki 
and samples directory allready, but doesn't seem to give very good 
picture without very detailed looking into it).

what I am trying to do:
To have questions in XML file and get them answered. need to save 
answers to database and then I have another part, which reads those 
answers and creates a summary with help of that XML file (reads 
questions from there). So keeping original data (questions) in simple 
XML-form, it should be easy to parse to use in webpages and in 
summary..

Yes, it's possible using 3 groups of each 2 radio buttons and a 
javascript validation on server side.

But it's far easier using 2 groups of each 3 radio buttons (1 group 
"yes", the second one "no") as so it is "technically" prevented to 
select more than one option per group.

Again handwritten javascript validation.

Of course. I think all the samples use i18n.

What's "my page template"?

Yes, that's possible. The binding is independent on the form processing 
itself.
