[TYPO3-project-formidable] Fwd: formidable question

[Tom Schneider]

Hi tom,

Could you repost this question on the newslist typo3.project.formidable ?
I would like the answer to be public, as it would help others also :)

To answer, what I would do Is to use only one xml, with display-conditions
handled *inside*.


Example:

[plugin PHP]

$this->oForm = t3lib_div::makeInstance("tx_ameosformidable");
$this->oForm->init(
        $this,
        t3lib_extmgm::extPath($this->extKey) .
"xml/form+list-one-at-a-time.xml"
);

return $this->pi_wrapInBaseClass($this->oForm->render());

[/plugin PHP]

And the xml (also attached to this mail)

[XML]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<formidable version="0.7.156"

                </renderlet:BOX>

        </elements>

</formidable>
[/XML]


The condition wheter or not to display the list/edit form corresponds to
boolean $this->oDataHandler->_edition(); in /process
The conditions for list and form to display or not exclude themselves, so
that they're displayed one at a time.

Dear Mr. Schneider

I'm in the process of writing an application with ameos formidable. It
seems to be a very good solution for my needs and I'm surprised how
flexible it actually is.

I'm stuck with one problem though: I have 2 xml files, one is the lister,
the other one the form. I need to have them displayed only one at a time
(done with if in php).

Everytime I enter a value to the form and press submit, the lister-xml is
shown. But the value does not get added to the database. It obviously does
only work as long as the form-xml is loaded a second time.

Is there a way to get the data from the form into the database without
having the form-xml displayed again? How can you do multi-page-forms?


I was trying to find the solution on the internet but was not having a lot
of success.

Thank you for your assistance, best regards

Tom Schneider
