Re: Trouble with object_from_form

Writing your own object_from_form()-type method that behaves the way
you want it to might be simpler than making multiple form classes with
different combinations of fields. The bundled object_from_form()
method is really just a convenience/helper method and an example of
something you might write. You don't have to use it if you don't want

It was too hard for me to do that. However, I have managed to work around
it. I am going to try to explain in case it is useful for anyone else.
What I have discovered (and this may be obvious for some) is that each form
has fields defined in the module and whether or not you use all the fields

I can't tell without seeing the rest of the code. Try making a
runnable, self-contained example script that reproduces the problem.

Trouble with object_from_form

ja...@mastersgames.com (jfrm) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:22:54 UT

I've just upgraded to PERL 5.16.3 and Rose::HTML::Objects 0.618 and
Rose::DB 0.770 and Rose::DB::Object 0.805 to ensure currency but this
problem still exists. No doubt, it's something I'm doing wrong but I spent
2 hours this a.m. trying to work it out and am completely stumped so any
help would be gratefully received. To summarise I have a form that does

Getting at file upload data will be done through your web framework,
not through the HTML widget toolkit. The only thing Rose::HTML::*
will do is let you name your file upload field. But you'll have to
ask Catalyst (or apache or whatever) for the file data uploaded under
the field of that name.

Hi all,
I'd like to create a custom form field for image uploads that takes care of
checking the MIME type and file size of the uploaded file, creates a scaled
version and returns an Imager object which I can then save to its final
destination from my Catalyst controllers, but I don't even know how to get

Just to update the list, upgrading base.pm to 2.18 fixed the problem.

I tried it with both 0.616 and 0.610. That should be the most recent
version and the one I had on my previous server.
As I said, the problem only occurs if the modules are loaded in this
sequence. Everything is fine if I load them the other way round.

Since there are some more reports of the same problem in the archives,

That script works for me. What version of Rose::HTML::Objects do you
have? You might need a newer version to resolve this.

Re: Mysterious error when under mod_perl

mich...@lackhoff.de (Michael Lackhoff) — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 18:46:28 UT

Well, some more investigation showed that it had nothing to do with
mod_perl itself but that I had a "use Rose::HTML::Objects" in startup.pl
and the above error occurs if Rose::HTML::Text is loaded after
Rose::HTML::Objects. So this little script is enough to trigger the crash:

use Rose::HTML::Objects;

I am in the process to move my applicaton to a new server with Ubuntu
12.04 and get errors when loading a form module. Further investigation
showed that I do not even need my own module. It is enough to add this
to the Apache configuration file:
<Perl>
use Rose::HTML::Text;
</Perl>
to get the following error message:

Re: European date format in ROSE HMTL?

sirac...@gmail.com (John Siracusa) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 14:02:14 UT

I'm not sure if there's a clean way to do this (though patches to
create one would be welcome). A very ugly way to do it is to set
$Rose::DateTime::Util::Europea n_Dates = 1 somewhere in your code,
which will make all Rose date parsing accept the European format.
I'll look into a cleaner solution when I get a chance (unless someone

European date format in ROSE HMTL?

Hopefully an easy one but I've read through Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateT ime
and Rose::DateTime::Parser and cannot see how to make my Rose:HTML field
work with european formatted dates. In my form package
$self->add_fields(
.... s_dateafter => {type => 'date', rank => 21, label => 'Date After'},...

Re: Customised choices in form element?

ja...@mastersgames.com (jfrm) — Thu, 24 May 2012 08:42:24 UT

Just thought I'd post an addendum to this solution to help anyone after the
same thing. It works nicely but I noticed that having implemented it,
updating the field didn't work. In the build_form routine, choices was set
to empty array and init_with_object set up the choices as John suggested.
