=head1 NAME
Package WebGUI::Form::Control
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Base class for all form field objects. Never use this class directly.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use base 'WebGUI::Form::Control';
...your methods here...
Subclasses will look like this:
use WebGUI::Form::subclass;
my $obj = WebGUI::Form::subclass->new($session,%params);
my $html = $obj->toHtml;
my $html = $obj->toHtmlAsHidden;
my $tableRows = $obj->toHtmlWithWrapper;
=head1 METHODS
The following methods are available via this package.
=cut
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 privateName ( )
Creates a safe, private name for additional use in multi-part forms
like File and Image.
=cut
sub privateName {
my ($self, $action) = @_;
return join '_', '_', $self->get('name'), $action;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 definition ( $session, [ additionalTerms ] )
Defines the schema or parameters for a form field.
=head3 session
The session object, usually for internationalization.
=head3 additionalTerms
An array reference containing a hash of hashes of parameter names and their definitions.
Example:
[{
myParam=>{
defaultValue=>undef
}
}]
By default all form fields have the following parameters:
=head4 name
The field name.
=head4 value
The starting value for the field.
=head4 defaultValue
If no starting value is specified, this will be used instead.
=head4 _defaulted
This flag indicates that the defaultValue was used. It is used by Form types that support
an initial blank field, instead of using a default, like WebGUI::Form::Date.pm
=head4 extras
Add extra attributes to the form tag like
onmouseover='doSomething()'
=head4 formName
The key to look up for the form name.
=head4 label
A text label that will be displayed if toHtmlWithWrapper() is called.
=head4 id
A unique identifier that can be used to identify this field with javascripts and cascading style sheets. Is autogenerated if not specified. The autogenerated version is the value of the name parameter concatinated with the string "_formId". So for a field called "title" it would be "title_formId".
=head4 idPrefix
If specified, this will be prepended to the id (whether autogenerated or not) to prevent overlap of two similar forms on the same page.
=head4 uiLevel
The UI Level that the user must meet or exceed if this field should be displayed with toHtmlWithWrapper() is called.
=head4 uiLevelOverride
An identifier that will be grabbed from the config file to determine the uiLevel. If the uiLevelOverride is "Article" and the name is "title" then the entry in the config file would look like:
Article_uiLevel = title => 5
=head4 subtext
A text string that will be appended after the field when toHtmlWithWrapper() is called.
=head4 labelClass
A stylesheet class assigned to the label with toHtmlWithWrapper() is called. Defaults to "formDescription".
=head4 fieldClass
A stylesheet class assigned to wrapper the field when toHtmlWithWrapper() is called. Defaults to "tableData".
=head4 rowClass
A stylesheet class assigned to each label/field pair.
=head4 hoverHelp
A text string that will pop up when the user hovers over the label when toHtmlWithWrapper() is called. This string should indicate how to use the field and is usually tied into the help system.
=head4 profileEnabled
Flag that tells the User Profile system that this is a valid form element in a User Profile
=cut

#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 displayForm ( )
This utility method is used to format values for the Profile system but can
be used in other areas as well. Most form elements will just return toHtml.
=cut
sub displayForm {
my ($self) = @_;
$self->toHtml;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 displayFormWithWrapper ( )
This utility method is used to format values for the Profile system but can
be used in other areas as well. Most form elements will just return displayForm.
=cut

#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 displayValue ( )
This utility method is used to format values for the Profile system. Most
form elements will just return their value.
=cut
sub displayValue {
my ($self) = @_;
return $self->get("value");
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 generateIdParameter ( name )
A class method that returns a value to be used as the autogenerated ID for this field instance. Unless overriden, it simply returns the name with "_formId" appended to it.
=head3 name
The name of the field.
=cut
sub generateIdParameter {
my $class = shift;
my $name = shift;
return $name."_formId";
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 get ( var )
Returns a property of this form object.

sub get {
my $self = shift;
my $var = shift;

}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 getName ( )
Returns a human readable name for this form control type. You MUST override this method with your own when creating new form controls.
=cut
sub getName {

my $session = shift;
my $definition = $self->definition($session);
return $definition->[0]->{formName}->{defaultValue};
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 fixMacros ( string )
Returns the string having converted all macros in the string to HTML entities so that they won't be processed by the macro engine, but instead will be displayed.
=head3 string
The string to search for macros in.
=cut
sub fixMacros {
my $self = shift;
my $value = shift;
$value =~ s/\^/\&\#94\;/g;
return $value;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 fixQuotes ( string )
Returns the string having replaced quotes with HTML entities. This is important so not to screw up HTML attributes which use quotes as delimiters.
=head3 string
The string to search for quotes in.
=cut
sub fixQuotes {
my $self = shift;
my $value = shift;
$value =~ s/\"/\&quot\;/g;
return $value;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 fixSpecialCharacters ( string )
Returns a string having converted any characters that have special meaning in HTML to HTML entities. Currently the only character is ampersand.
=head3 string
The string to search for special characters in.
=cut
sub fixSpecialCharacters {
my $self = shift;
my $value = shift;
$value =~ s/\&/\&amp\;/g;
return $value;

my $value = shift;
$value =~ s/\</\&lt\;/g;
$value =~ s/\>/\&gt\;/g;
return $value;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 getValueFromPost ( )
Retrieves a value from a form GET or POST and returns it. If the value comes back as undef, this method will return the defaultValue instead.
=cut
sub getValueFromPost {
my $self = shift;
my $formValue = $self->session->form->param($self->get("name")) if ($self->session->request);
if (defined $formValue) {
return $formValue;

}
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 new ( session, parameters )
Constructor. Creates a new form field object.
=head3 session
A reference to the current session.
=head3 parameters
Accepts any parameters specified by the definition() method. This parameter set can be specified by either a hash or hash reference, and can be tagged or not. Here are examples:
my $obj = $class->new({ name=>"this", value=>"that"});
my $obj = $class->new({ -name=>"this", -value=>"that"});
my $obj = $class->new(name=>"this", value=>"that");
my $obj = $class->new(-name=>"this", -value=>"that");
Please note that an id attribute is automatically added to every form element with a name of name_formId. So if your form element has a name of "description" then the id attribute assigned to it would be "description_formId".
=cut
sub new {
my $class = shift;

# and finally, if we have a value, let's set it
if (defined $value) {
$params{$fieldName} = $value;

# if the value field is undefined, lets use the defaultValue field instead
# the _defaulted field is used to tell form fields that support noDate/noValue
# options whether the field can be safely cleared or not.
