< p > A referenz documentation about the new eTemplates and the < a href = "#referenz" > syntax and parameters< / a >
of the several widgets.< / p >
< hr >
< h1 > Introduction - The concept of the eTemplates< / h1 >
< p > As I already covered this in the < a href = "etemplate.html" > Tutorial< / a > , I like would suggest to have a look
there if your are not familiar with the overal concept.< / p >
< p > There are two possibilities now to create an eTemplate:< / p >
< ol >
< li > Use the eTemplate-Editor (as descript in the < a href = "etemplate.html" > Tutorial< / a > ) to interactivly
design your template.
< li > Write a xml-file in a Syntax similar to XUL (the mozilla UI-interface definition language) and import
it into the database with the eTemplate-Editor
< / ol >
< hr >
< h1 > The xml-interface to the eTemplates< / h1 >
< p > The eTemplates-Editor can import and export now eTemplates as xml-files. Here is short example showing
an eTemplate from the example app in the < a href = "etemplate.html" > Tutorial< / a >
(here are screenshots of the template in the < a href = "editor.gif" > editor< / a > and the
< a href = "show.gif" > show-function< / a > ):< / p >

< p > The tags / widget-names and attributes / parameters used are as close as possible to XUL. For more
information about XUL refer to < a href = "http://www.xulplanet.com" > www.xulplanet.com< / a > or the Mozilla docs
< a href = "http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xulref/" > www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xulref/< / a > .< / p >
< p > Please keep in mind that the xml-files used to store the eTemplates are only similar to XUL and
implement only a subset of XUL. Here are the main differences:< / p >
< ul >
< li > only certain widgets and widget attributes are implemented
< li > xul-files can contain the actual content or refer to it via a datasources (RDF's) and use a
different template syntax to fill in content from a variable: < label value="?label"/>< br >
eTemplates get there content from an array passed to the exec or show-function of the template-object
and referenz to the content by the id / name-field of each widget.
< li > xul-files can contain an unlimited number of nested elements, where as the eTemplates xml-root-node
2002-10-12 18:37:44 +02:00
has to be a xul-grid and can not contain other grids as element (vbox and hbox are Ok).
2002-09-12 21:32:53 +02:00
< i > This limitation might be removed in the near future, for now you have to use the non-xul-element
< template id="app.template_name"/> us load an other template by its name.< / i >
< / ul >
< p > Like XUL the eTemplate-xml-files are quite strict with the xml-syntax:< / p >
< ul >
< li > All tags and attributes must be written in lowercase
< li > All strings must be double quoted, like id="string"
< li > Every XUL widget must use close tags (either < tag>< /tag> or < tag/>) to be well-formed
< li > All attributes must have a value, no < tag attr> it has to be < tag attr="">

The type of the widget is stored in the tag itself, some widgets have sub-types (unknow to XUL).
In that case the subtype is stored in the type attribut.< br >
The Type / tag has to be either the name of a standard eTemplate-widget or of
2002-09-12 21:32:53 +02:00
an already existing < a href = "#extensions" > extension< / a > .
< / td >
< / tr >
< tr >
< td > < b > Name< / b > < / td >
< td > id< / td >
< td > yes< / td >
< td > name< / td >
< td >
A string to locate the content for the widget in the content array (index) to show the dialog
and for the returned content.
Can be left blank or be obmitted as xml-attribut if the widget needs no content.< p >
The name can contain the following variables, which gets expanded before they are used as
array index (for an example see the < a href = "etemplate.html" > Tutorial< / a > ):< br >
< table >
< tr >
< td > < b > $c< / b > < / td >
< td > the column-number (starting with 0, if you have a header, data-cells start at 1)< / td >

< / tr > < tr >
< td > < b > $cont< / b > < / td >
< td > the content-array the (sub-)template, on auto-repeated row's this could eg. be
used to generate button-names with id-values in it: "del[$cont[id]]" expands to "del[123]",
if $cont = array('id' => 123)< / td >
< / tr > < tr >
< td > < b > $row_cont< / b > < / td >
< td > the sub-array indexed by $row of the content-array, on auto-repeated row's this could eg. be
used to generate button-names with id-values in it: "del[$row_cont[id]]" expands to "del[123]",
if $cont = array('1' => array('id' => 123),'2' => array('id' => 456)) and $row = 1< / td >
< / tr > < tr >
< td > < b > $c_< br > $col_< br > $row_< / b > < / td >
< td > are the respective values of the previous template-inclusion,
eg. the column-headers in the eTemplate-editor are templates itself,
to show the column-name in the header you can not use $col as it will
be constant as it is always the same col in the header-template,
what you want is the value of the previous template-inclusion.< / td >

2003-04-13 21:21:25 +02:00
The label is displayed by default in front (for radiobuttons behind) each widget (if not empty).
If you want to specify a different position, use a '%s' in the label, which gets replaced by
the widget itself. Eg. '%s Name' to have the label Name behind a checkbox.
2002-10-12 18:37:44 +02:00
The label can contain variables, as descript for name.
2002-09-12 21:32:53 +02:00
If the label starts with a '@' it is replaced by the value of the content-array at this
2003-04-13 21:21:25 +02:00
index (with the '@'-removed and after expanding the variables).< br >
2003-10-07 15:31:23 +02:00
< b > Note< / b > : The label gets always translated, if its longer than 1 char! If this is not
disired, use a label widget, place the not-to-translate label in the content-array
2003-04-13 21:21:25 +02:00
< u > and< / u > check NoTranslation or set the xml attribute no_lang.

< / tr >
< tr >
< td > < b > Help< / b > < / td >
< td > statustext< / td >
< td > yes< / td >
< td > help< / td >
< td >
This text / help-message is displayed in the status-bar of the browser when the widget gets focus
(or as tooltip for buttons or general in gtk).
If the user has JavaScript switched off, the help-texts get NOT submitted, as this is detected.
If the helptext starts with a '@' it is replaced by the value of the content-array at this
index (with the '@'-removed).

This attribute controls certain aspects of the different widgets. It's meaning and xml / xul-values
are document with the widgets.
2003-06-29 19:00:05 +02:00
If the options-string starts with a '@' it is replaced by the value of the content-array at this
index (with the '@'-removed).

If checked the content of the widget and the label gets NOT translated.< br >
The helptext of a widget is always translated.

< / td >
< / tr >
< tr >
< td > < b > needed< / b > < / td >
< td > needed< / td >
< td > no< / td >
< td > needed< / td >
< td >
If checked (xml-attr: needed="1") the etemplates will reprompt the user if he left
the widget / field empty.< br >
< / td >
< / tr >
< tr >
< td > < b > Readonly< / b > < / td >
< td > readonly< / td >
< td > yes< / td >
< td > readonly< / td >
< td >
If checked (xml-attr: readonly="true") the widget will NOT be editable.
If it is not supported by the browser, the etemplate-class makes shure that no
changes / content is transmitted back to the app.
Only applicable to widgets with input capabilities. Readonly Buttons get removed
from the dialog, like they where disabled.
The readonly attribute could be set on runtime via a readonly-array sublied to
the exec or show function of the class, the value on index=name/id has to be true
to make a widget readonly.
< / td >
< / tr >
< tr >
< td > < b > Disabled< / b > < / td >
< td > disabled< / td >
< td > yes< / td >
< td > disabled< / td >
< td >
If checked (xml-attr: disabled="true") the widget will NOT be shown.
For buttons this could be archived on runtime via setting them readonly.

< / tr >
< tr >
< td > < b > onChange< / b > < / td >
< td > onchange< / td >
< td > ?< / td >
< td > onchange< / td >
< td >
If checked (xml-attr: onchange="1") and the contet of the widget is changed by
the user, the form will be submitted.
Via xml or by a program other values can be set (not in the editor at the moment and
this is not compatible with the phpGTK implementation of the eTemplates).

< b > span< / b > : how many cell a widget should span (default is one), the special value
of 'all' can be used to indicate it should span all remaining cells of a row.

Syntax: < b > [!]{@name|value}[={@name2|value2}]< / b > < br >
Disables (=dont show it) a row/column if a certain criteria is (not (=!)) meet.< br >
If no '=...' / 2. value is given, the test is made on the first value being not empty, else
the test is made by comparing the two values. Instead of a value you can give a name as an
index into the content prefixed by @. Examples:< br >
< b > !@data< / b > disables row/col if value of data is empty, < br >
< b > @val=false< / b > disables if value of val is equal to (the string) 'false'

In the editor and internaly this field contains two comma-separated values:< p >
< b > class< / b > : the CSS class for the row, there are 4 predefined css-classes:
nmh: next-match-header-background, nmr: alternating next-match-row-background which
gets replaced by the etemplate class with nmr0 or nmr1.< p >

to order the lines of the nextmatch after a certain column. The column-name is given as < b > name< / b > (xml:id) the

Widget to allow to show only certain row, which match a selected filter-value. The column-name is given as < b > name< / b >
(xml:id), the options of the displayed selectbox need to be set as for an ordinary selectbox (eg. in the options
parameter to the uietemplate::exec function). If no extra-label is given in options, lang('all') will be used for

< h3 > One remark about cross-site-scripting< / h3 >
2003-12-18 07:08:55 +01:00
The following eTemplate Widgets are parsing its content before displaying through < b > htmlspecialchars()< / b > to
2003-06-29 19:00:05 +02:00
correctly display the content and to gard against malecious data (like scripts etc.):
< ul >
< li > Label
< li > Text, Textarea
< li > Integer, Float
< li > SelectBoxes (it's options-strings)
< li > LinkWidgets: link-to, link-list, link-string
< / ul >
This is done in most cases by the underlaying html-class and not direct in eTemplate.

eGroupWare application. The editor and the etemplate-class autoload the existing extensions.< / p >
