["WeizhanGuo (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1235?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12679486#action_12679486 ] 

WeizhanGuo commented on OFBIZ-1235:
-----------------------------------

Now, we have created the 19 files of macro for the 19 fied and can work. But there are some problems we need to discuss.

First, not all the applications want use the same theme; each application can set the default theme type, but where to add this type? Now we try to add this in webapp, like this:
 <webapp name="example"
        title="Example"
        menu-name="secondary"
        theme="dojo"
        server="default-server"
        location="webapp/example"
        base-permission="OFBTOOLS,EXAMPLE"
        mount-point="/example"/>

Second, each theme have they own css and js, how to avoid the css conflict with the system.

Any advise are welcome, thank you!

> We are creating the "theme" for the ofbiz widget form, why we create this? We found it's very difficultty to extend the current form widget, all the widget generation code is hard code in HtmlFormRenderer or others, we need to change those file if we want to add some function to the form, like ajax.
>  
> And yes, we have some ajax function in ofbiz now, but the code of HtmlFormRenderer with ajax is much harder for understanding. like the code: "if(ajaxEnabled)". In fact , we want to implement the dojo function in ofbiz without mess.
>  
> So we decide to extract the hard code is responsible for the html form generation  to the ftl files, like the struts2 does. If you know well about struts2, then you will also know the form theme we are creating. 
>  
> Those ftl files is responsible for the html code generation, like text.ftl:
> <input type="text"<#rt/>
>  name="${rp.name?default("")?html}"<#rt/>
> <#include "class.ftl" />
> <#if rp.value?exists>
> <#escape x as x?html> value="${rp.value}" </#escape> <#rt/>
> </#if>
> <#if rp.textSize?exists>
>  size="${rp.textSize?html}"<#rt/>
> </#if>
> <#if rp.maxlength?exists>
>  maxlength="${rp.maxlength?html}"<#rt/>
> </#if>
> <#if rp.textId?exists>
>  id="${rp.textId?html}"<#rt/>
> </#if>
> <#if rp.event?exists && rp.action?exists>
>  ${rp.event?html}="${rp.action?html}"<#rt/>
> </#if>
> <#if rp.clientAutocomplete?exists && !rp.clientAutocomplete>
>   autocomplete="off"<#rt/>
> </#if>
> />
> Then, in the renderTextField method, we use the ftl file to generate the html text instand of the hard code. 
>  
> Finally,we can have different themes like simple/text.ftl  ajax/text.ftl  and dojo/text.ftl. By setting the theme with code "theme=simple/ajax/dojo " , the corresponding theme file like text.ftl will be loaded. The attachment is the dojo theme capture.
