nesting radio button groups in xforms

[fbousson]

My problem is as follows: I would like to present my users with an XForm that shows a radio button group inside another radio button group.
It would basically look like this:

-item_1
    -item_1_inner_1
    -item_1_inner_2
-item_2
    -item_2_inner_1
    -item_2_inner_2
    -item_2_inner_3


I want my users to select either item_1 or item_2 and then make a selection of one of the inner items.

Anyone know how I accomplish this?

I have a very similar question.

I would like to have an option for the user to select a type of content (e.g. Html Content, Content Include, User Poll, etc), and then be presented with a set of fields specific to their selection. This way, they could order the pieces of content however they'd like, and not be stuck entering them in a rigid sequence.

The Wiki  Forms Authoring Guide says to use an xf:switch in place of an xs:choice. It mentions in the Supported XML Schema Data Types that xs:complexContent creates an xf:switch, but doesn't give anymore detail…so I'm stuck.

I've been experimenting all day with both xs:choice and xs:complexContent

Haven't been able to get anything decent out of either…

Same for me 😕  I've been told by support that it has not been implemented, but they're looking into it further.

For now, I'm just going to create a complex type with all of the insertable contents. This will expose each content type every time they add a block of content, so it's not nearly as elegant, but I supposed it'll have to do…

Let me know if you're able to get something to work for you, and I'll do the same.
