Problem with ref on buttons on fr-mode=view

[bsdang]

Hi All,

We have a form built from form-builder, on which we want to show buttons
based on a condition in fr-mode view.

But this does not work in "view-mode", as soon as we put the ref=.[XPATH]
the button is not displayed at all even though the XPath is true()

<xh:body>
<fr:view>
<fr:body>
<fr:buttons>
<fr:pdf-button/>
<fr:apply-button ref=".[true()]"/>
</fr:buttons>
</fr:view>
</xh:body>


The apply button is not rendered at all in view mode, if we render the same
form in "edit" mode the button works fine i.e. based on the ref Xpath
condition being true or false.


Any pointers on how to fix this would be really helpful ?

Thanks,
Balvinder

Hi Balvinder,

What is this <fr:apply-button>? This is a custom XBL component of yours?
Does it handle the ref properly?

Hi Alex,

We have a custom process "apply", which is associated to apply button, this
has been implemented as per the
http://doc.orbeon.com/form-runner/advanced/buttons-and-processes/index.html
<http://doc.orbeon.com/form-runner/advanced/buttons-and-processes/index.html>

I want to show this button in "fr-view mode" only, so I added property
<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.view.erdf.add-call"
value="pdf apply"/>

But I also want to show/hide this button based on a condition. To add the
condition we added the fr:buttons in the form.xhtml
<fr:buttons>
<fr:pdf-button/>
<fr:apply-button ref=“.[xpath condition]"/>
</fr:buttons>

But once I add the ref attribute, the button does not render in “fr-view”
mode at all.

If I remove the ref from the button then it works in “fr-view” mode
<fr:buttons>
<fr:pdf-button/>
<fr:apply-button/>
</fr:buttons>

but problem is then I cannot show/hide the button conditionally.

Hi Balvinder,

Thank you for the precisions. I was also wondering if this is an XBL
component that you created, and if it properly handles the `ref` attribute.
I.e. if you were to use it on a page and write ref="()", would the button be
hidden?
