Help with actions on select please

[TonyM]

Hi Folks,

I am using a select widget to set an input mode select-input and I would like the result of this selection to result in actions based on the option taken, ie set the input field

\define set-input-actions()

<$list filter="[{!!selected-input}match[allobject]]">

   <$action-setfield $field="input" $value="[!is[system]object-type{!!selected-object}]"/>

</$list>

<$list filter="[{!!selected-input}match[object]]">

   <$action-setfield $field="input" $value="[!is[system]object-type{!!selected-object}]"/>

</$list>

<$list filter="[{!!selected-input}match[list]]">

   <$action-setfield $field="input" $value="[!is[system]object-type{!!selected-list}]"/>

</$list>

<$list filter="[{!!selected-input}match[lists]]">

   <$action-setfield $field="input" $value="{{!!selected-lists}}"/>

</$list>

<$list filter="[{!!selected-input}match[filter]]">

   <$action-setfield $field="input" $value="{{!!selected-filter}}"/>

</$list>

\end

\define select-input()

<$select field=selected-input actions=<<set-input-actions>> >

<option value="allobject">All Instances of Object</option>

<option value="objects">Selected Objects</option>

<option value="list" >Use "a" list</option>

<option value="lists" >Input List{s}</option>

<option value="filter" >Input Filter</option>

</$select>

\end

<<select-input>>

Unfortunately the input field is never set. Are my conditions in the actions too much? or have I done something else wrong.

It is hard debugging actions because they are so invisible.

Any help appreciated

Tony

Hi Tony,

The currentTiddler on which you rely in your <$action-setfield> widgets is changed by the <$list> widget. So I guess you need to set explicitly either the $tiddler attribute in your <$action-setfield>s or the variable attribute in the <$list>s.

Cheers,

Xavier,

Thanks for spotting that. "A rookie error" as they say. I am grateful to have a community and for your help, because sometimes we j"ust cant see whats in our face".

I have added "variable=nul>" at the end of every list and it seems to work (further testing required).

Thanks a lot

Tony
