Forum OpenACS Development: ad_form, formtemplate, radio buttons

{requiredhits:integer(radio),optional
  {options {{3 3} {4 4} {5 5} {6 6} {7 7} {8 8} {9 9} {10 10} {11 11} {12 12}}}
  {value 4}
}

This works fine when I use <formtemplate id="form"></formtemplate>

however, that doesn't give me the display I am looking for, so I've opted to define the entire form myself.

<formwidget id="requiredhits">

If I use that, it creates 1 radio button with a value of 4, but no other radio buttons.

I've tried other incarnations, i.e.

<formwidget id="requiredhits:4">

or id="form:element:requiredhits:4" and a few others, but that doesn't do it.

<formwidget id="requiredhits" value="5">

returns a rendered page that has two value statements -- which of course doesn't work properly.

I've tried looking for extra parameters in the source, but honestly, cannot figure out what that piece of the code is doing.

I've also tried hacking things together with adp and <if>, to no real avail.

I know I'm probably missing something very obvious -- can someone point me in the right direction?

Look in acs-templating/resources/forms/standard.adp to see how it handles radio and checkbox groups. You need to use the formgroup tag.

And this is exactly what you probably could achieve with CSS (by setting them to be "inline" rather than "block").  The current formtemplate (that uses TABLE to layout all of these elements) would not however allow you the full control.

Anyway, you seem to be all set now.
