dspace I want different items for each collection - collections

I want to assign different items for each collection. the forms i make in input-forms.xml but I dont know where I can relate to items created collections.
I think the option is the tag collection-handle = "name" but I dont know how that is related with collections.

You can assign a collection handle that maps a different set of fields to different collections.
I am a bit confused by your question. If you navigate to a collection in your DSpace website, the handle for that collection will be visible in the URL.
Here is an example of how we have customized our input forms for a specific collection.
<input-forms>
<form-map>
<name-map collection-handle="10822/000999" form-name="faculty" />
</form-map>
<form-map>
<name-map collection-handle="default" form-name="traditional" />
</form-map>
<form-definitions>
<form name="traditio l">
...
</form>
<form name="faculty">
...
</form>
</form-definitions>
</input-forms>

How to get input values from mgt-people-picker when a FORM is submitted

I'm using mgt-people-picker from within an ASP.Net Razor application, using a ProxyController to get all the data from the Graph API.
Everything is working fine.
Now I want to get the infos from a Form I've created, containing a people list, from the mgt-people-picker element :
From my ASP.NET backend, once the form is submitted; I have all the info from my inputs, except the mgt-people-picker element.
Anyone knows a simple solution to get the list of people form the input text, issued during the POST action ?
Or should we use a javascript trick ?
Ok, if anyone has the same issue, here is the solution, after a LOT of investigations.
You have to use the template of <mgt-people-picker> with data-type=selected-person.
In this template section, you need to add
An <mgt-person> with the correct properties (That I've found in the source code)
An <input type=hidden /> to store the values:
<mgt-people-picker>
<template data-type="selected-person">
<input type="hidden" value="{{person.userPrincipalName}}" name="people" id="people" />
<mgt-person view="oneLine" person-details="{{person}}" fetchImage=true></mgt-person>
</template>
</mgt-people-picker>
From within your backend handler, you will get all the persons selected in the Request.Form["people"] property
public void OnPost()
{
foreach (var personSelected in Request.Form["people"])
Debug.WriteLine(personSelected);
}
The solution is elegant and easy to use & understand.
Unfortunatelly, the documentation lacks details on the customization, especially on templates :)

Refactoring potentially complex template

Let supplier be documents (with code, names, and many other fields).
I have a component
export class SuppliersDetails extends MeteorComponent {
supplier: any;
invalidKeys: Object; // array <key> => <error message>
and a form
<div>
<input [(ngModel)]="supplier.code" [class.invalid]="invalidKeys['code']" id="code" type="text" class="validate">
<label for="code" [class.active]="supplier.code || invalidKeys['name']" [attr.data-error]="invalidKeys['code']" >Code</label>
</div>
that allow me to edit it.
How could I refactore my component/template, to lighten my template ?
Here it's only 1 field, and only the display of invalidKeys message is handled. But I have 8 fields and some specific logic to add. This will get unreadable.
I am looking for something like
<div>
<input plsDoItAllAndUseThatId='code'></input>
<label plsDoItAllAndUseThatId='code'>Code</input>
</div>
But I have no idea of the design, any idea ?
I would suggest looking into dynamic forms as described in the cookbook section of angular2 docs. The key here is to separate the business logic out of the form itself, such as by creating:
A questions object that will hold all the input properties
A service that will create all the generate all the questions needed by a specific form
A generic component that will loop through a list of questions and bind all the question properties to the input
This would be a good time you could use an attribute directive.
https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/attribute-directives.html#!#write-directive
You could write it as an attribute like you did in what you want to do. With that you can manipulate the element in the directive to add other attributes if you want or do whatever.
That would make it pretty slick. I'm a fan of this kind of stuff.
Lots of cool stuff you can do with that if you get creative.

Collections in Create.js

According to Create.js' integration guide, it should be possible to create editable collections of blocks.
Relationships between entities allow you to communicate structured
content to Create.js, which will turn them into Backbone collections.
For example, to annotate a list of blog posts:
<div about="http://example.net/blog/" rel="dcTerms:hasPart">
<div about="http://example.net/my-post">...</div>
<div about="http://example.net/second-post">...</div>
</div>
This dcTerms:hasPart doesn't seem to be present explicitly in Create.js; it's probably from a vocabulary. How can one show to Create.js that this content is a collection and make it show the "Add" button? In my case, I simply have sections which contain <h2>, <h3> and <article>s.
EDIT: Using rel="hasPart" in my <section>, the button appears. Problem is Create always uses the first element as a template. In this case, it uses my <h2> as template, which is not what I intended. So my question now would be how to trigger the "add" event in my section?
Hackish solution:
Using javascript, I created a new section or article in the DOM, then restarted Create calling $('body').midgardCreate({...}) again. Create will now recognize the new block. When I edit some fields in the block, the "Save" button is enabled and I can submit the new block.

Drupal views - splitting up the exposed form possible?

I need to display part of the exposed form in my page's sidebar, and the rest of the form and content in the $content area. There's really no good way that I can find to do this. I sort of got it to show up in a way by making a "block" view with "exposed form" set and then trying to only show the part that i needed through .tpl files. The problem is that then, when the submit button is clicked (the submit button is in the $content area), then the filters that are in the sidebar are not taken into account.
Some lateral thinking... Why not explore CSS-only options? You can place that form element playing with position:absolute ? Or (considering is a right-sidebar) float:right and then some negative right margin to push it to the sidebar? If you are using 960 grid system, play with pull and push classes.
First I am going to answer your question, then I will explain why you are asking the wrong question:
If you build the form outside of the formapi, you might have some luck. This will get upgly and will require you to take a lot of extra care about attack-vectors such as mass-assignment.
views_some_view.tpl.php:
<form name="input" action="/link/to/view" method="get">
Country: <input type="text" name="country" />
my_custom_exposed_view.module:hook_block()
City:
That would make a form, which in most situations will start with <form>, have some input fields, then have a lot of random HTML, then some more input fields and then the closing .
As you may know, a <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> will only post everything of the form tags it is enclosed in. The submit button in the following HTML:
<form name="input_1" action="/link/to/view" method="get">
Country: <input type="text" name="country" />
</form>
<form name="input_2" action="/link/to/view" method="get">
City: <input type="text" name="city" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
will only send the City. These are not the droids you are looking for.
It will need to be one, big form, but since everything between form and /form is very dynamic, and contains a large quantity of HTML, including potential other forms, this is really not what you want. Moreover: a blocks appearance (shown/not-shown) is controlled completely independent of the content. You will need a lot of sturdy code to ensure the block a) never shows up when the starting form tag is not present, and b) the block will guaranteed to be shown when that opening form tag is present. Else you have not just invalid HTML, but broken HTML that will truly render your page unusable in most cases.
You simply don't want a part of the form in a block and the other part in the content.
However, you want it visualised as if one part is in the body, the rest in a sidebar.
The good news, is that with HTML presentation structure are independant. That is where your solution lies.
Give your form-fields good ids and classes. You could use a hook_form_alter to change existing forms, but you probably simply just want to create the HTML for that entire form yourself. The theme layer allows that.
Use CSS to pick out either single form-fields by ID and position:absolute them into the correct place. Or pick out classes of fields by CLASS and position:relative them into the correct place.
Make a simple identification-routine that allows adding a class to the body-tag. (see below).
Add some CSS to shift the sidebar lower, making space for the form-fields to be moved in, when that class is in the body-tag.
<body class="<?php print $splitform ?>">
function my_themename_preprocess_page() {
if ($GET['q'] == 'path/to/view') {
$vars['spliform'] = "splitform"
}
}
From the above explanation I am assuming that you are printing same form in block and in content area and you are hiding some part of form in page.tpl , if this is true then you can use hook_form_alter() in your custom module then
Store the value of the form element(present in block) in global variable.
Now use that global variable and set form element(present in content area, this form element is not visible to user).
Provide more information if you implemented other way.

There is a related issue here:
https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/3827/multiple-copies-of-views-filter-form-exposed-filters
which describes how to duplicate your filters. However it seems like an ugly hack.
A bit cleaner seems this solution mentioned in #6:
http://drupal.org/node/641838#comment-3247748
Haven't tested it out, but it looks good.
It will still give you some overhead (duplicate views) but it might be the easiest way doing this using views.
On the other hand you might write a module and build your own custom filter block which hooks into your view. Here is a blog post about this:
http://www.hashbangcode.com/blog/creating-custom-views-filters-exposed-form-element-drupal-6-561.html
If you use something like context you could get the exposed filters block to display twice in the same page. You could then use CSS to hide the fields you don't want to do display in each form.
The fundamental problem you're having is that to have the two forms in different places, they'll each have their own form element - when a submit is triggered, only the form fields within the same form element are sent. You need to move them into one form, or rely on JavaScript to gather the fields from both forms and construct the post.
You could create the block as an empty div and have javascript from the main page populate it with the secondary filter form and whatever else you need in there. Again, you could use javascript to copy the form values from the block form to hidden fields in the main form on submit. That gives you all the control you need from one place (the node output). Only caveat is that it relies a lot more on javascript to join it all together.

(Custom) WAI-ARIA role

I'm pretty new to ARIA and the roles, states, and properties it provides. I understand that there are different types of roles (e.g. landmarks, regions, etc) but none of them represent areas like "login region" or something similar. I wonder if there are ways to specify the grouping of this information so that the screen reader can read out this information for the users? E.g. "Login region. User name ... Password ..."
If this is not possible with ARIA, what is the general way of doing it in HTML?
Thanks in advance
WAI-ARIA is generally for dynamic content, like a news headline ticker, and not for static content, like a login form. Static content is best achieved using plain HTML.
Assuming you have a page where the login form is always displayed, the following should help.
For a login form, from an accessibility point of view, you should primarily ensure that the form fields are correctly labelled. A fieldset\legend is really optional for such as small form.
Coding labels up correctly means using matching for\id attributes e.g.
<label for="loginName">Login name</label>
<input type="text" id="loginName" name="loginName" size="30" />
<label for="loginPassword">Login password</label>
<input type="password" id="loginPassword" name="loginPassword" size="10" />
This ensures that screenreader (blind) users can properly hear the form fields corresponding label read out. For other form elements, such as checkboxes and radio buttons, using correct labelling like this allows users with dexterity issues to click on the text label to toggle the form input (checkbox\radio button), meaning they have larger target area to click on the page.
To let the user know they were about to access a login form, you could use either a heading, or the fieldset\legendf combo e.g.
<h2>Login form</h2>
<FORM HERE>
Or
<fieldset>
<legend>Login form</legend>
<FORM HERE>
</fieldset>
Either of these would be fine, although the heading approach would create slightly less audio clutter for screenreader users (WIth a fieldset\legend, the legend is read out before each form field)
Yes and no. The form should be given a landmark role of "form". This allows the assistive technology to see the landmark for navigation purposes.
Refer to the spec.
While using the landmark will aid in navigating the page, the landmark itself won't produce the reading of the items in the form itself. Following the already known HTML practices mentioned will take care of the rest.
