how to define <option> in a config.ini

[Mike Wright]

Hi all!

I have an app with forms and subforms, all defined in .ini configs.

Now that it's fleshed out I want to turn some <input> tags into <select>
tags (easy peasy), but how do I declare

         <option value="myValue">Description</option>

with config.ini format?

Any takers?

Thanks for a great framework,
Mike Wright

Try this:

        myForm.elements.mySelect.type = "select"
        myForm.elements.mySelect.options.multiOptions.myValueOne = "My
Description One"
        myForm.elements.mySelect.options.multiOptions.myValueTwo = "My
Description Two"

elementName.options.options.myValue = "Description"

Yes, two "options" in there -- the first is indicating the form
element's general configuration options, the second the "options" to use
in the select tag.

Thanks @Konr @MWO'P

I'd say I'm losing my mind but that's been a given for years ;)

I can't make this work.  There are never any <option />

Here is the simple config.ini file.

[test]
id = "test"
class = "test"
order = "20"
legend = "Testing"

elements.fest.type = "select"
elements.fest.options.label = "Who"
elements.fest.options.options.me = "Me"
elements.fest.options.options.ye = "Ye"

elements.zest.type = "text"
elements.zest.options.label = "Text Box"
elements.zest.options.value = "tea"

elements.jest.type = "textarea"
elements.jest.options.label = "Textarea Box"
elements.jest.options.value = "coffee"

This displays beautifully except that the <select /> is always empty.

It's not a css issue.  Using Firebug I see the response doesn't contain
any <option /> elements.

Using fedora's package of 1.11.  Haven't overridden any view helpers.

Fresh eyes, anybody?

Thanks again,
Mike Wright

It does have to be multiOptions, as the second config key, not options.

The following modified config file worked fine for me:

[test]
id = "test"
class = "test"
order = "20"
legend = "Testing"

elements.fest.type = "select"
elements.fest.options.label = "Who"
elements.fest.options.multiOptions.me = "Me"
elements.fest.options.multiOptions.ye = "Ye"

elements.zest.type = "text"
elements.zest.options.label = "Text Box"
elements.zest.options.value = "tea"

elements.jest.type = "textarea"
elements.jest.options.label = "Textarea Box"
elements.jest.options.value = "coffee"

Excellent.  Works here, too ;)

Now, on to radio and checkbox...
