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 value
From 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 l
From 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 = file
Ok, 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.
