Quick One VFE Experts

moonkhanna

Hi All,

This one should be quick for the VFE experts. I have created a button on VFE which basically connects to a database and gives the user an option to choose from the available values. Once fetched and selected by the user, the value needs to be displayed in VFE as readonly i.e. user can only delete the complete value but not modify the same.

Also, user may insert any number of these values to the VFE. What do you think would be the best way to accomplish this?

What I did was to call an ipl which in turn uses html to generate a (HTML) text field in the VFE and I am pulling the value to this text field within the VFE. AT the same time, I have made this text field readonly. Do you think, this is the best approach to go about the scenario?

Next how do I fetch the value of these text fields while generating my pages? The problem would be those (HTML) input tags. Any clues shall be helpful.

I feel you can use label fields instead of text.

To retrieve the value within the VFE, it might a little clumsy. Inside your TPL, use XML::Twig or XML:imple to parse the XML field do a processing of the text within the VFE.

I might be wrong in this scenario, but you can use VFE clean feature to strip out HTML. [HTML][/HTML]. Refer to the VFE documentation.
