modifying the style of required widgets in CForms
Hello,
i've been asked to put a background color on the required fields in
cforms, i don't really understand where i need to add the attribute.
I've been trying to edit forms-field-styling.xsl but
- I don't like the idea of updating a file coming from the distribution
- I don't find the right place in the file, i think it should be here
but for some reason the attribute isn't added :
<!--+
| Handling the common styling. You may only add attributes to the
output
| in this template as later processing might add attributes too, for
| example @checked or @selected
+-->
<xsl:template match="fi:*" mode="styling">
<xsl:apply-templates select="fi:styling/@*" mode="styling"/>
<!-- HERE -->
<xsl:attribute name="style">backround-color:yellow;</xsl:attribute>
<!--+
| @listbox-size needs to be handled separately as even if it is not
| specified some output (@size) must be generated.
+-->
<xsl:if
test="self::fi:field[fi:selection-list][fi:styling/@list-type =
'listbox'] or
self::fi:multivaluefield[not(fi:styling/@list-type =
'checkbox')]">
<xsl:variable name="size">
<xsl:value-of select="fi:styling/@listbox-size"/>
<xsl:if test="not(fi:styling/@listbox-size)">5</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:attribute name="size">
<xsl:value-of select="$size"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
does someone knows of a good technique to do this (if possible outside
of forms-field-styling.xsl)
thanks,
Marc

That works for me. Actually I added this:
<xsl:if test="@required='true'">
<xsl:attribute name="style">background-color:
yellow;</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
However:
1) I had to play funny games w/ Cocoon to get it to "take". I hit the
mysterious "Clear cache" sample page (mysterious to me, because I've
never looked at what it actually does), and that didn't help. I
renamed samples/blocks/forms/resources to resources.save, refreshed the
page (getting the expected error from cocoon), and re-renamed it back
again, then the change took effect. Me no understand, but oh well...
2) Not all browsers support all css properties in <input> elements,
e.g. the background-color doesn't work in Safari... but it does in
Firefox.
HTH,

I tried your last suggestion, but that doesn't seem to help,
so here is what the custom-styling stylesheet looks like so far :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fi="http://apache.org/cocoon/forms/1.0#instance"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common" >
<xsl:import href="../resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="*" mode="custom-styling">
<xsl:param name="required" />
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:if test="$required='true'">
<xsl:attribute name="class">required-field</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="fi:field" mode="styling">
<!-- Apply the default transformation -->
<xsl:variable name="control">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</xsl:variable>
<!-- Now apply our styling -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($control)"
mode="custom-styling">
<xsl:with-param name="required" value="@required" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
here is the example widget i'm testing on :
<ft:widget id="comment">
<fi:styling type="textarea" cols="80" rows="10" />
</ft:widget>
here is the resulting html :
<textarea title="" name="comment" id="comment"/>
<span class="forms-field-required"> * </span>
textarea is applied no pb,
cols and rows attributes are lost,
class="required-filed" is not copied.
Maybe you can see better where is the problem ?
Thanks for your help

Well, check the reference on <xml:copy-of>... its contents are always
ignored.
Can you show your whole stylesheet? There should be no <fi:styling>
element left by the time you get to the "custom-styling" moded
template, because we're invoking it on the result of applying the
imported template which has already translated the fi:* to HTML.

We _do_ want to match fi:field — in the wrapper template (the one that
does the <apply-imports>). This template has mode="styling", so it
only matches for <apply-templates mode="styling">.
But I think I see the problem... we're also going to match all kinds of
other stuff for which there are specific templates in
forms-field-styling. My bad again! So the wrapper template should
match="fi:field", not fi:*. Give that a try... but if it doesn't work,
let's have a look at your whole stylesheet! :-)

nope ! lost your bet, the result is just exactly the same :-\
i tried this instead :
<xsl:copy-of select=".">
<xsl:if test="$required='true'">
<xsl:attribute name="class">required-field</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:copy-of>
and this copies all the attributes of the <fi:styling> tag to the
control (even the type="textarea" which is not supposed to be...) but
the class="required-filed" is still not copied !
Then i wonder (again) if we are matching the correct element. I think
maybe we are matching the fi:field element where we should match the
fi:styling... or the opposite :-D

Aw, phooey! I had a brain-o there, I totally meant "styling", but in
my example I wrote "common" (right after I got through telling you that
"common" was the wrong one! :-). Sorry, my bad.
Yes, mode="styling" is right.
Matching "*" on the mode="custom-styling" is right, too — then you will
pick up the other kinds of form control elements, as you say.
I forgot about attributes. Try adding this immediately inside the
<xsl:copy> in the custom-styling mode template:
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
I'll bet that fixes it!

Re: modifying the style of required widgets in CForms
Posted by Marc Salvetti <ma...@notremanou.net>.
Thanks a lot for your answers, i've just tried your idea, but i still
can't get it to work.
Here is what i tried
<xsl:import href="../resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="*" mode="custom-styling">
<xsl:param name="required" />
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:if test="$required='true'">
<xsl:attribute name="class">required-field</xsl:attribute>
<!-- (visual properties belong in CSS) -->
</xsl:if>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="fi:*" mode="common">
<!-- Apply the default transformation -->
<xsl:variable name="control">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</xsl:variable>
<!-- Now apply our styling -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($control)"
mode="custom-styling">
<xsl:with-param name="required" value="@required" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
notice the use of match="*" in the custom-styling template because i
don't really know what's returned by exsl:node-set($control), but i
guess it must be something like fi:* as not only the input control is
concerned here, but also select, textarea, etc...
However, if i match
- "*" i get an empty <span class="forms-field-required"></span> after
the control (the * is gone somewhere)
- "fi:*" i get the *, but not the <span> tag
and in both cases i don't get the class="required-field" attribute
inserted on the control
I'm pretty new to xsl, so i'm not sure to understand the functioning of
this, but i think if the template to be modified is the one spotted
first (mode="styling", not mode="common"), maybe the second template
should be <xsl:template match="fi:*" mode="styling">
However, if i try it, i get the <span
class="forms-field-required">*</span> correctly, but the fi:styling of
the control is lost (cols, lines....)
and i still don't get the class="required-field" attribute inserted on
the control :-\
i'm a bit confused now...

Nope, Marc got it right :-)... The mode="common" template generates the
'annotations', not the control itself.

Yes (except for being the wrong template... the mode="styling" one is
correct).
And if copying the template seems undesirable, one might try injecting
the attribute... something like:
<xsl:import href="forms-samples-styling.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="input" mode="custom-styling">
<xsl:param name="required" />
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:if test="$required='true'">
<xsl:attribute name="class">required-field</xsl:attribute> <!--
(visual properties belong in CSS) -->
</xsl:if>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="fi:*" mode="common">
<!-- Apply the default transformation -->
<xsl:variable name="control">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</xsl:variable>
<!-- Now apply our styling -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="ex:node-set($control)"
mode="custom-styling">
<xsl:with-param name="required" value="@required" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
You could enhance this to use different styling for a field that took a
validation error (add a parameter to the custom-styling template)...

That's probably a caching issue. Try to touch forms-samples-styling.xsl.

Write your own stylesheet, import forms-samples-styling.xsl into it and
overload the template for the required attribute.
myforms.xsl:
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:import href="forms-samples-styling.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="fi:*" mode="common">
<!-- validation message -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="fi:validation-message"/>
<!-- required mark -->
<xsl:if test="@required='true'">
<!-- something different here-->
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
