Not useful by itself. =head1 SEE ALSO This is a subclass of WebGUI::Form::Control. =head1 METHODS The following methods are specifically available from this class. Check the superclass for additional methods. =cut #------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 alignmentSeparator ( ) Return an HTML separator to generate either horizontal or vertical lists of radio/check boxes. =cut sub alignmentSeparator { my ($self) = @_; if ($self->get("vertical")) { return "
\n"; } else { return "    \n"; } } #------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 correctOptions ( ) Parse a string for a list of options to present to the user. This method will mainly be called from WebGUI::Form::DynamicField. =cut sub correctOptions { my ($self, $possibleValues) = @_; my %options; tie %options, 'Tie::IxHash'; foreach (split(/\n/, $possibleValues)) { s/\s+$//; # remove trailing spaces $options{$_} = $_; } if ($self->get('options') && ref($self->get('options')) eq "HASH") { %options = (%{$self->get('options')} , %options); } $self->set('options', \%options); } ##------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 correctValues ( ) Parse a string for a list of values that should be selected. This method will mainly be called from WebGUI::Form::DynamicField. Form types that don't have multiple select, like RadioLists, need to override this method. =cut sub correctValues { my ($self, $value) = @_; return unless defined $value; my @defaultValues; if (ref $value eq "ARRAY") { @defaultValues = @{ $value }; } else { foreach (split(/\n/, $value)) { s/\s+$//; # remove trailing spaces push(@defaultValues, $_); } } $self->set("value", \@defaultValues); } #------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 definition ( [ additionalTerms ] ) See the super class for additional details. =head3 additionalTerms The following additional parameters have been added via this sub class. =head4 options A hash reference containing key values that will be returned with the form post and displayable text pairs. Defaults to an empty hash reference. =head4 defaultValue An array reference of the items to be checked if no value is specified. Defaults to an empty array reference. =head4 size The number of characters tall this list should be. Defaults to '1'. =head4 multiple A boolean indicating whether the user can select multiple items from this list like a checkList. Defaults to "0". =head4 sortByValue A boolean value for whether or not the values in the options hash should be sorted. Defaults to "0". =head4 profileEnabled Flag that tells the User Profile system that this is a valid form element in a User Profile =cut sub definition { my $class = shift; my $session = shift; my $definition = shift || []; my $i18n = WebGUI::International->new($session); push(@{$definition}, { formName=>{ defaultValue=>$i18n->get("486"), }, options=>{ defaultValue=>{} }, defaultValue=>{ defaultValue=>[], }, multiple=>{ defaultValue=>0 }, sortByValue=>{ defaultValue=>0 }, size=>{ defaultValue=>1 }, profileEnabled=>{ defaultValue=>0 }, dbDataType => { defaultValue => "TEXT", }, }); return $class->SUPER::definition($session, $definition); } #------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 displayValue ( ) Return all the options =cut sub displayValue { my ($self) = @_; return join ", ", $self->getValues(); } #------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 getValueFromPost ( [ value ] ) Returns an array or a carriage return ("\n") separated scalar depending upon whether you're returning the values into an array or a scalar. =head3 value Optional values to process, instead of POST input. =cut sub getValueFromPost { my $self = shift; my @data = @_ ? @_ : $self->session->form->param($self->get("name")); return wantarray ? @data : join("\n",@data); } #------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 getValues ( ) Safely handle returning values whether the stored data is scalar or an array ref. =cut sub getValues { my $self = shift; my @values = (); if (ref $self->get("value") eq 'ARRAY') { @values = @{ $self->get("value") }; } else { push @values, $self->get("value"); } return @values; } #------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 orderedHash ( ) Based on whether the sortByValue flag is set, return the options hash for List type Forms sorted by values. The sort is done without regard to the case of the values. =cut sub orderedHash { my ($self) = @_; my %options; tie %options, 'Tie::IxHash'; my $original = $self->get("options"); if ($self->get('sortByValue')) { foreach my $optionKey (sort {"\L$original->{$a}" cmp "\L$original->{$b}" } keys %{$original}) { $options{$optionKey} = $original->{$optionKey}; } } else { %options = %{$original}; } return %options; } #------------------------------------------------------------------- =head2 toHtmlAsHidden ( ) Creates a series of hidden fields representing the data in the list. =cut sub toHtmlAsHidden { my $self = shift; my %options; tie %options, 'Tie::IxHash'; %options = $self->orderedHash(); my $output; my @values = $self->getValues(); foreach my $key (keys %options) { foreach my $item (@values) { if ($item eq $key) { $output .= WebGUI::Form::Hidden->new($self->session, name=>$self->get("name"), value=>$key )->toHtmlAsHidden; } } } return $output; } 1;
