Situation:
We have an AEM 6.4 Touch UI dialog and a number of existing component instances that were created through this dialog.
Now we want to add an additional boolean property (checkbox) to the dialog.
The default value of the new property should be true / checked.
Expected Result:
When an editor opens the updated dialog for an existing component, I would expect that the dialog shows the new checkbox checked since this is the default and the JCR contains no value for existing components.
Actual Result:
The dialog shows the checkbox unchecked for an existing component that has no value for this property in the JCR.
Surprisingly, the dialog shows the checkbox checked for a freshly created component!
Any ideas? Thanks.
Snippet of the checkbox inside the .content.xml file below.
<newProperty
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/checkbox"
checked="{Boolean}true"
name="./newProperty"
text="The recently added new property"
uncheckedValue="{Boolean}false"
value="{Boolean}true"
/>
It certainly will require a JS validation, since the absence of the value is falsy for the dialog.
Your example should always work, no need for extra js or properties. When you say there is no existing 'value' for this property, do you mean this property is not there or it is empty? Because an empty property would still have a value, in this case an empty string, resulting in it being read as false and the checkbox being empty. A new componenty does not have this property, resulting in the default being shown. If this does not work as designed, could you extend your example by adding all current properties of the component?
#John Goofy - you just need to add below property
'ignoreData={Boolean}true'
then, your node becomes
<newProperty
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/checkbox"
checked="{Boolean}true"
name="./newProperty"
text="The recently added new property"
uncheckedValue="{Boolean}false"
value="{Boolean}true"
ignoreData="{Boolean}true"
/>
please let me know, if it doesn't work for you.

I'm new to Ractive.js and using "magic mode" so that updates to my JS objects automatically trigger updates to my UI. Everything is working great except that I have some properties which are added to my bound objects after my Ractive instances are rendered. This means that Ractive doesn't see changes to those properties, so the "magic" doesn't work for them.
As a workaround, I've found that I can just initialize those properties with 'empty' values before passing them to Ractive, but it feels a little unnatural.
Is there a preferred way to inform Ractive that I've added a new property to an object that it should start tracking?
My experince is that you can du that in 2 ways.
The first is the one you describe in your post.
The second is to "add" the property through the template that you use to render the object.
What ractive actually do when you set magic mode to true is "wrapping/replacing" your field with a property wich monitores the changes to the field.
I have had som issues using magicmode when i use Object.DefineProperty on my data objcect. (stuff get called twice)
I would go for soulution 1, and define all fields ahead of time.
Also be aware of setting your field(wich is actually now a property replaced by ractive) to something that is not a valuetype as that will again overwrite the property and mess up magicmode.
I have created a site that allows users to see a list of files that currently reside on my FTP site.
I have got the files appearing but when I select one and click download, it is not registering that I have selected an item.
At the moment I am using:
If CheckBoxList1.SelectedItem.Value = "" Then
MsgBox("A file needs to be selected...!")
End If
'NOTE - A SELECTION ISN'T BEING RECORDED BY THE PROGRAM!!'
If CheckBoxList1.SelectedItem.Value <> "" Then
I think that it is not registering the selection being made, because the item being selected is not a string value.
But I am not sure what to set this as.
It would help if you provided the actual code being used to attach the selection / change handler as well as the event method body.
I'm guessing your attaching to the checkbox SelectedIndexChanged event. If that's the case then make sure that you have actually bound a "value" to the checkbox list, ensure that you are using the "DataTextField"and "DataValueField" properties instead of just default binding the checkboxlist to a collection.
I've got a richfaces calendar component defined as
<rich:calendar id="startDate" value="#{myBean.dateSet.startDate}"
timeZone="#{myBean.dateSet.timeZone}"
datePattern="#{myBean.dateSet.datePattern}"
enableManualInput="true" immediate="true">
<a4j:support event="onchanged" action="#{myBean.adjustEndDate}"
reRender="startDate,endDate" ajaxSingle="true" />
</rich:calendar>
when I'm changing the date using the calendar popup/gui everything is working fine.
However when I'm changing it via the input text field, the value is not being updated to myBean.dateSet.startDate, although it is being updated correctly on the calendar component itself (i.e. if I click the icon for calendar popup it shows the updated current date).
Any suggestions on how I can get it to update the value to myBean correctly?
Thanks!
Use oninputchange event, that's the one that tracks manual changes.
I'm not sure if this helps, but if you want to get the value inside the input text field, you refer to it as <calId>InputDate . So in your case, the input text field will have id startDateInputDate. Hope this helps somehow!
You can use the oninputchange event inside the rich:calendar component like Max Katz suggested.
For example:
<rich:calendar
...
oninputchange="invokeCalendarOnChange(event,'#{rich:clientId('$idOfTheCalendar')}')"
...
</rich:calendar>
function invokeCalendarOnChange(event, id) {
var c = RichFaces.$(id);
c.invokeEvent("change", RichFaces.getDomElement(c.id), event, c.selectedDate);
}
Hope that helps!
I am using modalpopup to enter some value in a textfield. After the value is selected in the modalpopup view, the modalpopup is closed and the value takes the appropriate value. Even if the value is displayed in the textfield, the textfield1.text returns an empty string. When I see the source code (html), I see that even the textfield isn't displaying anything; it hasn't really had this value input, because the appropriate html input field hasn't got a value yet.
This is the code I use to fill this textfield:
function CloseRequestModal(s)
{
document.getElementById('<%=txtRequest.ClientID%>').value = s;
var mpu = $find('<%=ModalPopupExtender3.ClientID%>');
mpu.hide();
}
Please help.
I would need to see source HTML cause it looks like you have template language mixed into your javascript but perhaps instead of "textfield1.text" you use "textfield1.value"?
Additionally, you would need to view "generated" source (with a browser plugin) or inspect the node with web inspector on safari/chrome or firebug on firefox in order to see the change that you made with javascript.
i fixed this problem in an alternate way.
even if the value is there (in the textfield), none of the events is fired, to let know the browser / compilator that the value really exists.
so i decided, despite editing the value of the textfield, i store this value in the session too. in this case, the value is displayed for user needed in the interface, and on the other hand i use the value that i stored in the session.
Flex 3 question:
I trying here to avoid having to bind resources to all my components labels ( ie a button) and find a way to have this automated.
Problem:
It corrupts the layout in design mode to bind directly in the mxml label="{resourceManager.getString('myResources', 'submit')}" and makes the design view useless. but when declaring bindings elsewhere, in actionScript or via a bind tag, it is counter productive and prone to many errors and miss.
Proposition:
I would like to create my own button that automatically invoke resources to localize a button label. So the author puts "Submit" in the mxml description of my button, and when running it would take the value of the label ie "submit" and use resourceManager.getString('myResources', 'submit').
but I can't find the way to override the set label function, Is it possible if yes how? else how can I go about it?
Maybe I am missing an essential process here that would make the use of resources more elegant, as well as how to override such thing as a button's label.
Thanks for your advices.
Create a component called MyButton, extending Button. Then use this:
override public function set label(value:String):void {
super.label = resourceManager.getString('myResources', value) || value;
}
Assuming the resource manager returns "null" or "undefined" this will work, and will only replace the value if it exists in "myResources".
If you don't want to override every component you need to do this with, then you can add a FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE event on every component. Then use a single generic function to do your label localization.
