Some ClearSilver Questions/Examples
1. How do I access multiple form values from ClearSilver? |
If you have the following in your HTML Form:
<select name=myselect size=5 multple> <option value=foo>Foo</option> <option value=bar>Bar</option> <option value=biff>Biff</option> </select>Single values would off course show up in HDF as Query.myselect. When there are multiple values, the ClearSilver CGI Kit will update the value of Query.myselect with the latest one it finds, and start a sub list of all the values. This means the HDF will look like the following: 1 value => Query.myselect = value 2 values => Query.myselect = second value Query.myselect.0 = first value Query.myselect.1 = second value 3 values => Query.myselect = third value Query.myselect.0 = first value Query.myselect.1 = second value Query.myselect.2 = third valueFrom python, one could use: def allQuery (hdf, s): l = [] if hdf.getValue ("Query.%s.0" % s, ""): obj = hdf.getChild ("Query.%s" % s) while obj: l.append(obj.value()) obj = obj.next() else: t = hdf.getValue ("Query.%s" % s, "") if t: l.append(t) return lFrom CS, one could use: <?cs if:Query.myselect.0 ?> myselect = <?cs set:first = #1 ?> <?cs each:myselect = Query.myselect ?> <?cs if:#first ?><?cs set:first = #0 ?><?cs else ?>, <?cs /if ?> <?cs var:myselect ?> <?cs /each ?> <?cs else ?> myselect = <?cs var:Query.myselect ?> <?cs /if ?> |
2. How do I walk a tree in ClearSilver? |
We're going to assume that you have more than two levels in your tree. Because of this, you are going to have to write a recursive macro. First, your HDF is going to look something like the following:
Files.0.Name = Desktop Files.0.Type = dir Files.0.Sub.0.Name = Bookmarks.html Files.0.Sub.0.Type = file Files.0.Sub.1.Name = History.txt Files.0.Sub.1.Type = file Files.0.Sub.2.Name = Resume.doc Files.0.Sub.2.Type = file Files.1.Name = .cshrc Files.1.Type = file Files.2.Name = .login Files.2.Type = file Files.2.Name = Mail Files.2.Type = dir Files.2.Sub.0.Name = inbox Files.2.Sub.0.Type = file Files.2.Sub.1.Name = received Files.2.Sub.1.Type = file Files.2.Sub.2.Name = sent Files.2.Sub.2.Type = file Files.2.Sub.2.Name = postponed Files.2.Sub.2.Type = fileOk, first the simple version: <?cs def:display_files(files) ?> <ul> <?cs each:file = files ?> <li><?cs var:file.Name ?></li> <?cs if:file.Sub.0.Name ?> <?cs call:display_files(file.Sub) ?> <?cs /if ?> <?cs /each ?> </ul> <?cs /def ?> <?cs call:display_files(Files) ?>This version relies on HTML to format your list. Notice how we check both the existance of the sub element before we recurse, because otherwise we'll get an extra ul pair, which in most browsers will cause extra whitespace. Perhaps you don't want to use the HTML like this, for spacing or other issues. You could always pass an string that grows down the recurse that provides the indention: <?cs def:display_files(files, spc) ?> <?cs each:file = files ?> <?cs var:spc ?><?cs var:file.Name ?><br> <?cs if:file.Sub.0.Name ?> <?cs call:display_files(file.Sub, spc + " ") ?> <?cs /if ?> <?cs /each ?> <?cs /def ?> <?cs call:display_files(Files, "") ?>This version keeps growing a string of non-breakable spaces to place in front of the file name, which makes for a slightly indented view. You could then add something which checked the type and issued and icon between the spaces and the name, etc. |
