| <h1>Concept</h1> |
| |
| <p>An fd:booleanfield is a field that has a value of |
| true or false. Usually is rendered as a checkbox.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>It is different from a <a href="widget_field.html">field widget</a> |
| with a <span class="codefrag">boolean</span> datatype because an HTML checkbox submits |
| no request parameter if the checkbox is unchecked. If you would render |
| it instead as a listbox with true and false values, you could also |
| use a regular field widget. Since the styling preference might change over |
| time, it is however better to use consistently the fd:booleanfield widget.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>A booleanfield cannot be marked as "required", because it is |
| always required. It is either true or false. If you want tripples |
| (true/false/none), use a normal field widget with a selection list.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h1>Configuration</h1> |
| |
| <pre class="code"><fd:booleanfield id="..."> |
| <fd:label>...</fd:label> |
| <fd:help>...</fd:help> |
| <fd:hint>...</fd:hint> |
| <fd:on-value-changed> |
| [...] |
| </fd:on-value-changed> |
| </fd:booleanfield></pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>See <a href="widget_field.html">field wiget</a> for a description of the |
| configuration options.</p> |
