Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your suggestion. I’m a bit more familiar to jQuery than Prototype, although I think it would be overkill to load jQuery on top of Prototype just for doing this. I’m sure there is an easier way to fix this!

Could I pass another option to render_input_field_actual to add the onclick event to the radio button?

If you need jQuery to make life easier;

  <script src="/_javascript_/jquery.min.js" type="text/_javascript_">// <!-- No script --></script>

  <script type="text/_javascript_">$.noConflict();</script>

The second bit is vital or it conflicts with prototype.js which also likes to use the $ variable and is required for EPrints features.

Hello fellow Eprinters!

 

I’m trying to enable/disable a date field in the workflow based on the value of a radio button (value = True or False), using _javascript_. Is there an easy way to do it?

 

This page contains some clues and I’ve tried adding a render_input option to my field definition:

 

{

  'name' => 'diplome_articles',

  'type' => 'boolean',

  'multiple' => 0,

  'volatile' => 0,

  'input_style' => 'radio',

   'render_input' => sub {

                    my ( $field, $repository, $current_value, $dataset, $staff, $hidden_fields, $object, $basename ) = @_;

                    my $dom = $field->render_input_field_actual( $repository, $current_value, $dataset, $staff, $hidden_fields, $object, $basename );

 

my $script = $repository->make_javascript('

 

var buttonOpt = document.getElementById("'.$basename.'");

buttonOpt.addEventListener("click", function(){ alert() });

 

');

 

     my $superdom = $repository->xml->create_element("div");

              $superdom->appendChild($dom);

              $superdom->appendChild($script);

              return $superdom;

             }

}

 

…but since both radio buttons (true/false) get the same ID when rendered by EPrints, using “getElementById” returns only the first element, thus only works when the first option is clicked.

 

From the console of my browser, I know I can get the value of the selected option using

 

document.querySelector("[name$='_diplome_articles']:checked").value

 

…but I can’t figure out how to add an event listener for when this value is changing. Actually, the much, much easier way would be to just add _onclick_="function()" to the radio button itself and toggle the date field accordingly. But is it possible to do it without hacking EPrints too much?  

 

Thanks for your help!!
