Adding form elements to form tools

[Gavin Stewart-3]

Hello there,

Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to add your own form
elements to form tools and have them render with all the other form
elements. Here is an example of what i am trying to do.

<ft:form>
        <ft:object  stObject="#stCustomer#" typename="Customer" format="edit"
lfields="title,firstName,lastName,emailAddress,phoneNumber"
intable="false" includefieldset="true" legend="Your Details"/>
        <ft:object stObject="#stBillingAddress#" typename="Address"
format="edit"
lfields="postcode,houseName,houseNumber,flatNumber,street,city,county"
intable="false" includefieldset="true" legend="Billing Address">
        <cfoutput>
                <div class="fieldAlign">
                        <input type="checkbox" name="bDelivery" class="formCheckbox "
id="bDelivery"/>
                </div>
                <br class="clearer" />
        </cfoutput>
        </ft:object>
        <ft:object stObject="#stDeliveryAddress#" typename="Address"
format="edit"
lfields="postcode,houseName,houseNumber,flatNumber,street,city,county"
intable="false" includefieldset="true" legend="Delivery Address"/>
        <ft:farcrybutton value="Cancel" />
        <ft:farcrybutton value="Next" />
</ft:form>


The problem here is that bDelivery doea not render nicely like all the
other form elements.

Thank you for any help in advance

There isn't at the moment, but I agree that there should be. What you have to do at the moment is copy the source html for one of the other formtools and wrap it around your own elements.

Why not add a property to the content type of bDelivery?

Will I then be able to add an 'onclick' event and add my own
javascript?

Ok, I have figured out that i can create my own custom form tools
types and put whatever html i want in the edit method of that
component. The problem i am getting now is that the edit method in my
custom form tool type doesn't seem to be getting called. I have tried
updating the app several times with no luck. Is this a known bug? Here
is my custom form tool type.

<cfcomponent extends="farcry.core.packages.formtools.field"
name="postcode" displayname="postcode" hint="Used to liase with
webskin type fields">

        <cffunction name="init" access="public"
returntype="farcry.plugins.farcry_vanillaCheckout.packages.formtools.postcode"
output="false" hint="Returns a copy of this initialised object">
                <cfreturn this>
        </cffunction>

        <cffunction name="edit" access="public" output="true"
returntype="string" hint="this will return a string of formatted HTML
to enable the user to call a post code finder and populate the
required address fields">
                <cfargument name="typename" required="true" type="string" hint="The
name of the type that this field is part of.">
                <cfargument name="stObject" required="true" type="struct" hint="The
object of the record that this field is part of.">
                <cfargument name="stMetadata" required="true" type="struct"
hint="This is the metadata that is either setup as part of the
type.cfc or overridden when calling ft:object by using the stMetadata
argument.">
                <cfargument name="fieldname" required="true" type="string"
hint="This is the name that will be used for the form field. It
includes the prefix that will be used by ft:processform.">

                <cfsavecontent variable="html">
                        This is a test
                </cfsavecontent>

                <cfreturn html>
        </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

Thanks again for any help

Looks ok to me. Make sure the ftType of your property that you want to use with this formtool is correct.

Also, make sure the plugin has been included in your project (farcry_vanillaCheckout)

Also, you might want to make sure you can invoke the formtool directly to ensure there are now syntax errors.

ie.

<cfset o = createObject("component", "farcry.plugins.farcry_vanillaCheckout.packages.formtools.postcode") />

<cfdump var="#o#" />

Kind regards
