Freemarker: Problem accessing to HTML input values

santigt — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 10:43:57 GMT

Hi all!In Freemarker, how can I access to HTML input values? I put an example: I have this HTML code:<input type='text' maxlength='1024' size='32' name='searchinst' id='searchinst'/><span class="taskAction" onClick="javascript:includeContent();">BÃƒÂºsqueda</span><select style='

Are you posting your form results to another template? I assume so, try the 'args' object, so something like this might work:
$('args["inst_derivated"]')

Thanks,

Kevin

Is not another template. I use it in the same template, with JavaScript and OnClick and OnSubmit methods.

This line looks wrong:
childrenByLuceneSearch["$"]

What are you trying to search for?

I research a little more an in the wiki (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/URL_Addressability)


The servlet now also supports POST'ed parameters. As with parameters passed on the URL, these will be collected and supplied to the templating data-model into a Map object called args. The args object is accessable from the root of the templating data-model and contains all the name/value pairs supplied to the servlet (usually via an HTML form). Please note though, that file upload is not supported.

So now i'm sure thats can be done…. (Still can't but certainly sure)

Hi,

Try this instead:

${args["inst_derivated"]}‍

Re: Freemarker: Problem accessing to HTML input values

Hi,

I've just tested this and it works as expected:
mike.html

<form method="post" action="/alfresco/service/mike">
   <input type="text" maxlength="1024" size="32" name="inst_derivated" id="inst_derivated" /> 
   <input type="submit" />
</form>‍‍‍‍

mike.post.html.ftl

args["inst_derivated"] = ${args["inst_derivated"]}‍

which outputs:

args["inst_derivated"] = hello‍

Could you post the relevant sections of your form HTML and Freemarker template please? Also, which version of Alfresco are you using?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm not using web script i'm using "raw" ftl (apply template on document/space details)….

In fact i'm created the template at presentation templates….

By the way… Thanks you a lot for your quick answers…

Ok, but could you post the relevant parts here please? It makes it much easier to find out what the problem is…

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Freemarker: Problem accessing to HTML input values

mliwski — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 16:57:18 GMT

The name of the ftl is
testForm.ftl and its aplied to a document

<form method="post" action="">
   <input type="text" maxlength="1024" size="32" name="inst_derivated" id="inst_derivated" />
   <input type="submit" />
</form>

args["inst_derivated"] = ${args["inst_derivated"]}‍‍‍‍‍‍

im using alfresco 2.1

Re: Freemarker: Problem accessing to HTML input values

mikeh — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 10:27:38 GMT

Hi,

The args Map object is only supplied when the template is served via the TemplateContentServlet, i.e. the /alfresco/template URI stem.

For example:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/template/workspace/SpacesStore/e3741425-35cf-11dc-9762-4b73d0280543‍

To cater for this, your template should look something like the following:

<#– Check existence of args Map object –>
<#if args?exists>
   <#– Check existence of our request variable –>
   <#if args["inst_derivated"]?exists>
      You submitted: ${args["inst_derivated"]}
   <#else>
      <form method="post" action="">
         <input type="text" maxlength="1024" size="32" name="inst_derivated" />
         <input type="submit" /> 
      </form>
   </#if>
<#else>
   Template not served by TemplateContentServlet!
</#if>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Does this help?
Mike

Re: Freemarker: Problem accessing to HTML input values

mliwski — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 20:03:43 GMT

Ok, so the template doesn't supply this servlet right?
Have you idea what files i should modify to get it work with "apply template"?

i certainly doesn't test outside templates apply (in this case, i used freemarker files, included in the jsp, to present information in the details-document)…

Thanks for your time, i hope that this can help us all…
