[EP-tech] Enabling/disabling fields in the workflow using JS

[Robin Sylvestre]

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 <https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Include_Javascript_in_the_workflow>
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!!
