Renderings

placeholder page

b237 - a custom rendering to display the available auxiliary templates as a dropdown menu was added to the shipping root. Although useful in itself, it mainly serves as model for implementing other custom renderers.

b278 - in forms 2 changes were made to work around an astonishing Internet Explorer bug, that in dropdowns menu the disabled form attribute is ignored. The effect is that disabled menu items are indistinguishable from other menu items and will return a value if selected. The changes cause addedValues to render disabled menu items with a value of the empty string, and to honour the required property of a rendering for menus. This allows the addedValues javascript and server side validation routine to at least disallow the submission.

b281 - Frontiers HTML engine is able to render pages in non latin alphabets, such as Chinese, Japanese and Cyrillic if the data is entered with modern standard compliant browsers; the value of the HTML engine ioFilter is false when the page is rendered and if macros contributing to the page content do not isoencode their output. addedValues obeys the isoFilter setting, but some form elements are built once and cached and might be built with isoFilter true and used with isoFilter off. There is now a checkbox on for each rendering - Disable ISO Filter - which enables full control of this situation.

b289 - dropbox and dropbox limited form renderings do not permit values containing comma characters in the menu - as they appear to be 2 values if selected and sent back to Manila. Previously addedValues signalled the anomaly by not rendering the whole menu. Now it marks the item disabled , with a line-through text decoration style, and returns the menu with other items unchanged.

fc10 - a new rendering is now available within non-search forms for column variables of a multiple valued row place holder variable. These are just the variables that can appear within a forEach loop over a row placeholder variable in an item detail report; the new rendering expands one such report in the form context, but replaces all references to the variable in the report layout with the appropriate form element. The rendering parameters offer a menu of candidate reports, if any exist. This is an advanced option, but it allows very sophisticated layouts that were not previously possible.

fc10 - in the rendering details page of a form, the value of the dir attribute was not preserved, now it it. Also, in renderings with a prefill , the displayed value did not honour the dir setting. now it does.

fc10 - in javascript enabled browsers, on the edit forms page selecting a different variable from the form element dropdown menu behaves as if the set variable button were clicked.

fc11 - A new rendering for identifiers in forms, av Entity Menu, displays a menu of addedValues objects in the website, such as its variables, reports, forms, etc. The rendering options allow filtering the list by whichever is applicable for the object from applies to, groupname or usage.
