[textedit] request to add feature "name" as entry has

[reaby]

Hi,

textedit, is very very good addition, but it's missing name attribute!!!
Which means the contents of it doesn't get send to dedicated- or web-server

please take consideration to add this feature

While waiting a fix,

i found out that normal entry can be used to pass the data, but it needs a little trick to pass the data, here's my work-around, if somebody else needs it while waiting the fix

Code: Select all

<manialink version="2">
<timeout>0</timeout>
<textedit default="" autonewline="1" sizen="205 85" posn="0 0 0" id="input"/>
<entry default="" posn="200 200 0" sizen="9 4" id="output" name="content"/>
<script><!--
main() {     
        declare CMlTextEdit input  <=> (Page.GetFirstChild("input") as CMlTextEdit);
        declare CMlEntry output  <=> (Page.GetFirstChild("output") as CMlEntry);       

	while (True) {
		yield;
                output.Value = input.Value;          
	} 
}
--></script>
</manialink>

idea is to pass the contents of the textedit to invisible entry (posn 200,200), and pass the entry as http-get parameter to webserver

Hi there,

sorry for not answering sooner . I'll add the name attribute as soon as possible, don't worry

Glad to see you found a workaround (a little bit very much ugly but... my bad ).

Keeping you informed,

Heh, it indeed is ugly, but it works
Better way should have been using EntrySubmit -event, but this works and was much faster to do

The feature has been added, it should be available in the next update.

Thanks!

Hi Noyranea,

The feature works very well for normal manialinks, many thanks for this
Addition: Sorry, I didn't test this properly. Looks like this doesn't work.

But if I use the texteditor at server-side, looks like the data is not passed back to xmlrpc interface (and to server controller).

Currently I would only use it only at one element: to set the server comment, as it would just look little better when admins set multiline comment.

Just to scale the usage:
How often an admin changes the comment in approx 30 servers ?
I would say, not that often

*edited addition*
means, it's not really a priority
