Table rows with a checkbox in the first column
Q1. I generate the rows of a HTML <table> using the Foreach component. I
need to have a checkbox placed in the first column of every row. The
user can thus select various rows to indicate that these rows are of
interest. When the form submits, I need to find out which rows have the
checkbox checked. Is there an example of such a setup somewhere?
Q2. If I want to use the contrib:table component, how can I have a
column of checkboxes in the table model?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. Regarding your note, the answer is to no to
all three, i.e., I don't need to paginate, I don't need to sort, and I
don't perceive any additional functionality at the moment. Following
your advice, I will stick with foreach.

RE: Table rows with a checkbox in the first column

Hi,

The checkbox will invoke a listener (or set a property). You can obtain the
object that the checkbox refers to from Foreach.value.
The 'value' parameter of Foreach can be bound to a property of yours which
will give you an easier access to that value.
As a side note, it may be a better idea to use ListEdit rather than Foreach
if you are rendering within a form.

The LocaleList component in the workbench demonstrates precisely that.
If you having problems with the TableFormView and TableFormPages components
for some reason, please use TableView and TablePages instead.
Another side note: The table component makes sense to be used if
(1) you need to paginate the data, or
(2) you need sorting for some columns, or
(3) you want some flexibility despite the additional complexity
If your case requires neither, and you want something quick and simple, it
may make more sense to stick to Foreach instead.
Best regards,
