General
-------
.. important::
Primary key: QFQ expect that each table, which will be loaded into a form, contains a primary key called `id`.
That one should be *autoincrement*. It's not necessary to create a FormElement `id` in a form.
* Forms will be created by using the *Form Editor* on the Typo3 frontend (HTML form).
* The *Form editor* itself consist of two predefined QFQ forms: *form* and *formElement* - these forms are regular updated
during installation of newer QFQ versions.

* Every form consist of a) a *Form* record and b) multiple *FormElement* records.
* A form is assigned to a *table*. Such a table is called the *primary table* for this form.
* Forms can roughly categorized into:
* *Simple* form: the form acts on one record, stored in one table.
* The form will create necessary SQL commands for insert, update and delete (only primary record) automatically.
* *Advanced* form: the form acts on multiple records, stored in more than one table.
* Fields of the primary table acts like a *simple* form, all other fields have to be specified with *action/afterSave* records.
* *Multi* form: (multi-form_) the form acts simultaneously on more than one record. All records use the same *FormElements*.
* The *FormElements* are defined as a regular *simple* / or *advanced* form, plus an SQL Query, which selects and
iterates over all records. Those records will be loaded at the same time.
* *Delete* form: any form can be used as a form to :ref:`delete-record`.
* Form mode: The parameter 'r' (given via URL or via SIP) decide if the form is in mode:
* `New`:
* Missing parameter 'r' or 'r=0'
* On form load, no record is displayed.
* Saving the form creates a new primary record.
* E.g.: `http://example.com/index.php?id=home&form=Person` or `http://example.com/index.php?id=home&form=Person&r=0`
* `Edit`:
* Parameter 'r>0'
* On form load, the specified record (<tablename>.id= <r>) will be loaded and displayed.
* Saving the form will update the existing record.
* E.g.: `http://example.com/index.php?id=home&form=Person&r=123`
* Providing additional parameter:
Often, it is necessary to store additional, for the user not visible, parameter in a record. See :ref:`form-magic`.
* Display a form:
* Create a QFQ tt_content record on a Typo 3 page.
* Inside the QFQ record: `form = <formname>`. E.g.:
* Static: `form = Person`
* Dynamic 1: `form = {{form:SE}}` (the left `form` is a keyword for QFQ, the right `form` is a variable name)
* Dynamic 2: `form = {{SELECT f.name FROM Form AS f WHERE f.id=...}}` (the left `form` is a keyword for QFQ, the right `form` is a variable name)
* With the `Dynamic` option, it's easily possible to use one Typo3 page and display different forms on that specific
page.
* If a form is edited using the JSON form editor then a backup of the previous version is saved. See :ref:`formAsFile`.

Form process order
------------------
Depending on `form load / save` or `record delete`, different tasks are performed. Processing is divided into:
* Native FormElements like: `input`, `select list`, `checkbox`, `radio`, ....
* `upload` elements are categorized as native FormElement, but will be processed later.
* `pill`, `fieldset` and `subrecord` elements are only processed during form load, they do not impact `save` or `delete`.
* Action FormElement like `before...`, `after...`, `sendmail` ...
Each FormElement has an order.
Native FormElements which 'name':
* corresponds to a column in the form primary table: are grouped together in one insert or update query.
* do not correspond to a column in the primary table: needs an explicit defined Action FormElement to be handled.
FormElement processing order:

.. _record_locking:
Record locking
--------------
Forms and 'record delete'-function support basic record locking. A user opens a form: starting with the first change of content, a
record lock will be acquired in the background. If the lock is denied (e.g. another user already owns a lock on the record) an
alert is shown.
By default the record lock mode is 'exclusive' and the default timeout is 15 minutes. Both can be configured per form.
The general timeout can also be configured in :ref:`configuration` (will be copied to the form during creating the form).
The lock timeout counts from the first change, not from the last modification on the form.
If a timeout expires, the lock becomes invalid. During the next change in a form, the lock is acquired again.
A lock is assigned to a record of a table. Multiple forms, with the same primary table, uses the same lock for a given record.
If a `Form` acts on further records (e.g. via FE action), those further records are not protected by this basic record locking.
If a user tries to delete a record and another user already owns a lock on that record, the delete action is denied.
If there are different locking modes in multiple forms, the most restricting mode applies for the current lock.
Exclusive
^^^^^^^^^
An existing lock on a record forbids any write action on that record.
Advisory
^^^^^^^^
An existing lock on a record informs the user that another user is currently working on that record. Nevertheless,
writing is allowed.
None
^^^^
No locking at all.
.. _comment-space-character:
Comment- and space-character
----------------------------
The following applies to the fields `Form.parameter` and `FormElement.parameter`:
* Lines will be trimmed - leading and trailing spaces will be removed.
* If a leading and/or trailing space is needed, escape it: \\ hello world \\ > ' hello world '.
* Lines starting with a '#' are treated as a comment and will not be parsed. Such lines are treated as 'empty lines'.
* The comment sign can be escaped with \\ .

.. _`form-permitNewEdit`:
permitNew & permitEdit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Depending on `r`, the following access permission will be taken:
* `r=0` - permitNew
* `r>0` - permitEdit
+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Option | Description |
+============+===================================================================================================+
| sip | The parameter 'form' and 'r' must be supplied via SIP or hard coded in the QFQ tt_content record. |
+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| logged_in | The form will only be shown if the current User is logged in as a FE User |
+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| logged_out | The form will only be shown if the current User is *not* logged in as a FE User |
+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| always | No access restriction, the form will always be shown |
+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| never | The form will never be shown |
+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
* `sip`
* is *always* the preferred way. With 'sip' it's not necessary to differ between logged in or not, cause the SIP
only exist and is only valid, if it's created via QFQ/report earlier. This means 'creating' the SIP implies
'access granted'. The grant will be revoked when the QFQ session is destroyed - this happens when a user loggs out or
the web browser is closed.
* `logged_in` / `logged_out`: for forms which might be displayed without a SIP, but maybe on a protected or even
unprotected page. *The option is probably not often used.*
* `always`: such a form is always allowed to be loaded.
* `permitNew=always`: Public accessible forms (e.g. for registration) will allow users to fill and save
the form.
* `permitEdit=always`: Public accessible forms will allow users to update existing data. This
is dangerous, cause the URL parameter (recordId) 'r' might be changed by the user (URL manipulating) and therefore
the user might see and/or change data from other users. *The option is probably not often used.*
* `never`: such a form is not allowed to be loaded.
* `permitNew=never`: Public accessible forms. It's not possible to create new records.
* `permitEdit=none`: Public accessible forms. It's not possible to update records.
.. _`form-requiredParameter`:
Required Parameter New|Edit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Comma separated list of variable names. On form load, an error message will be shown in case of missing parameters.
The parameters must be given by SIP.
The list of required parameter has to be defined for `New` (r=0, create a new record) and for `Edit` (r>0, edit existing
record).
Optional a comment might be attached after the parameter definition.
E.g.: ::
New: grId, pId # Always specify a person, grId2
Edit: pId
.. _`form-showButton`:
showButton
^^^^^^^^^^
Display or hide the button `new`, `delete`, `close`, `save`.
* *new*: Creates a new record. If the form needs any special parameter via SIP or Client (=browser), hide this 'new' button - the necessary parameter are not provided.
* *delete*: This either deletes the current record only, or (if defined via action *FormElement* 'beforeDelete' ) any specified subrecords.
* *close*: Close the current form. If there are changes, a popup opens and ask to save / close / cancel. The last page from the history will be shown.
* *save*: Save the form.
* Default: show all buttons.
.. _`form-forward`:
Forward: Save / Close
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Forward (=forwardMode)
""""""""""""""""""""""
After the user presses *Save*, *Close*, *Delete* or *New*, different actions are possible where the browser redirects to.
* `auto` (default) - the QFQ browser Javascript logic, decides to stay on the page or to force a redirection
to a previous page. The decision depends on:
* *Close* goes back (feels like close) to the previous page. Note: if there is no history, QFQ won't close the tab,
instead a message is shown.
* *Save* stays on the current page.
* `close` - goes back (feels like close) to the previous page. Note: if there is no history, QFQ won't close the tab,
instead a message is shown.
* `no` - no change, the browser remains on the current side. Close does not close the page. It just triggers a save if
there are modified data.
* `url` - the browser redirects to the URL or T3 page named in `Forward URL / Page`. Independent if the user presses `save` or `close`.
* `url-skip-history` - same as `url`, but the current location won't saved in the browser history.
* `url-sip` - like `url`, but any given parameter will be SIP encoded. Only useful if `url` points to current web instance.
* `url-sip-skip-history` - like `url-sip`, but skips the Browser history.
Only with `Forward` == `url` | `url-skip-history`, the definition of `Forward URL / Page` becomes active.
Forward URL / Page (=forwardPage)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Format: [<url>] or [<mode>|<url>]
* `<url>`:
* `http://www.example.com/index.html?a=123#bottom`
* `website.html?a=123#bottom`

* `{{SELECT ...}}`
* `<mode>|<url>`
* `<mode>` - Valid keywords are as above: `auto|close|no|url|url-skip-history|url-sip|url-sip-skip-history`
Specifying the mode in `forwardPage` overwrites `formMode` (but only if `formMode` is `url...`).
Also regular QFQ statements like {{var}} or {{SELECT ...}} are possible in `forwardPage`. This is useful to dynamically
redirect to different targets, depending on user input or any other dependencies.
If a forwardMode 'url...' is specified and there is no `forwardPage`, QFQ falls down to `auto` mode.
On a form, the user might click 'save' or 'save,close' or 'close' (with modified data this leads to 'save,close').
The CLIENT `submit_reason` shows the user action:
* `{{submit_reason:CE:alnumx}}` = `save` or `save,close`
Example forwardPage
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* `{{SELECT IF('{{formModeGlobal:S}}'='requiredOff', 'no', 'auto') }}`
* `{{SELECT IF('{{submit_reason:CE:alnumx}}'='save', 'no', 'url'), '|http://example.com' }}`
Type: combined dynamic mode & URL/page
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Syntax: `forwardPage=<mode>|<page>`
* `forwardPage={{SELECT IF(a.url='','no','url'), '|', a.url FROM Address AS a }}`
.. _form-parameter:
Form.parameter
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* The following parameter are optional.
* Each parameter has to be on a single line.
* If a parameter is defined multiple time, the last one is the final one.
* Comment lines have to start with ``#``.

extraDeleteForm
"""""""""""""""
Depending on the database definition, it might be necessary to delete the primary record *and* corresponding slave records.
To not repeat such 'slave record delete definition', an 'extraDeleteForm' can be specified. If the user opens a record
in a form and clicks on the 'delete' button, a defined 'extraDeleteForm'-form will be used to delete primary and slave
records instead of using the current form.
E.g. if there are multiple different forms to work on the same table, all of theses forms might reference to the same
'extraDeleteForm'-form. This simplifies the maintenance.
The 'extraDeleteForm' parameter might be specified for a 'form' and/or for 'subrecords'
See also: :ref:`delete-record`.
.. _form-mode-global:
Form mode global
""""""""""""""""
A form can be operated in modes: *standard* | **readonly** | **requiredOff** | **requiredOffButMark**.
Mode *standard* is given if none of the others are defined.
The `mode` is given via (in this priority):

* The form will behave like defined in the form editor.
* Missing required values will a) be indicated and b) block saving the record.
* **readonly**: all `FormElement` of the whole form are temporarily in `readonly` mode.
* Fast way to display the form data, without a possibility for the user to change any data of the form.
* The mode will be be inherited to all subforms.
* **requiredOff**:
* All `FormElement` with `mode=required`, will be handled as `mode=show`.
* The user can save the form without filling all required inputs!
* Required inputs are indicated by a red star - missing values **won't** be complained.
* **requiredOffButMark**:
* All `FormElement` with `mode=required`, will be handled as `mode=show`.
* The user can save the form without filling all required inputs!
* Missing required inputs will be marked:
* On lost focus.
* When the user saves the record.
* After saving the record, by default the first pill with a missing input comes to front.
* This behaviour can be switch on/off with `form.parameter.activateFirstRequiredTab=0`
Extra
;;;;;
Via :ref:`STORE_VARS` the variable `{{allRequiredGiven:V}}` shows, if the form has been filled completely - independent of
the mode. The variable is only accessible during form save.
Usage example
;;;;;;;;;;;;;
*Readonly*
Carsten Rose
committed
Code: ``SELECT 'p:{{pageSlug}}?form=person&r=1&formModeGlobal=readonly|s|t:View|s|b' AS _link``
* The form is called with SIP parameter ``formModeGlobal=readonly`` or ``form.parameter.mode=readonly``.
* The user can't change any data.
*Readonly systemwide*
Code (somewhere): ``SELECT 'requiredoff' AS '_=formModeGlobal'``
Carsten Rose
committed
Code: ``SELECT 'p:{{pageSlug}}?form=person&r=1|s|t:View|s|b' AS _link``
* The STORE_USER variable is set `formModeGlobal=readonly`.
* All forms will be shown in readonly mode - fast option to give a user access to the website, without the possibility to
change any data.
*Draft Mode 1*
Carsten Rose
committed
Code: ``SELECT 'p:{{pageSlug}}?form=person&r=1&formModeGlobal=readquiredOff|s|t:View|s|b' AS _link``
* A form has one or more FormElement with 'fe.type=required'.
* Opening the form with `formModeGlobal=requiredOff` will allow the user to save the form, even if not all
FE.type=required elements are given. This can be called 'draft' mode.
* Opening the form without `formModeGlobal` (that's the default), forces the user to fill out
all FE.type=required fields. This can be called 'final submit' mode.
*Draft Mode 2*

* A form has one or more FormElement with 'fe.type=required'.
* Calling the form with `formModeGlobal=requiredOff` will allow the user to save the form, even if not all
FE.type=required elements are given.
* Define an FE-Action 'afterSave', and do some action on `{{allRequiredGiven:V0}}` like::
{{UPDATE <table> SET dataValid={{allRequiredGiven:V0}} WHERE id={{id:R}} }}
* In the application logic, open the next process step if all data is given by evaluating `dataValid`.
FormElements
------------
* Each *form* contains one or more *FormElement*.
* The *FormElements* are divided in three categories:
* :ref:`class-container`
* :ref:`class-native`
* :ref:`class-action`
* Ordering and grouping: Native *FormElements* and Container-Elements (both with feIdContainer=0) will be ordered by 'ord'.
* Inside of a container, all nested elements will be displayed.
* Technical, it's *not* necessary to configure a FormElement for the primary index column `id`.
* Additional options to a *FormElement* will be configured via the *FormElement.parameter* field (analog to *Form.parameter*
for *Forms* ).
* See also: :ref:`comment-space-character`
.. _class-container:
Class: Container
----------------
* Pills are containers for 'fieldset' *and* / *or* 'native' *FormElements*.
* Fieldsets are containers for 'native' *FormElements*.
* TemplateGroups are containers for 'fieldset' *and* / *or* 'native' *FormElements*.
Type: fieldset
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Native *FormElements* can be assigned to a fieldset.
* FormElement settings:
* *name*: technical name, used as HTML identifier.
* *label*: Shown title of the fieldset.
Type: pill (tab)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Pill is synonymous for a tab and looks like a tab.
* If there is at least one pill defined:
* every native *FormElement* needs to be assigned to a pill or to a fieldset.
* every *fieldset* needs to be assigned to a pill.
* Mode:
* `show`: all child elements will be shown.
* `required`: same as 'show'. This mode has no other meaning than 'show'.
* `readonly`: technical it's like HTML/CSS `disabled`.
* The pill title is shown, but not clickable.
* The `FormElements` on the pill still exist, but are not reachable for the user via UI.
* `hidden`:
* The pill is invisible.
* The `FormElements` on the pill still exist, but are not reachable for the user via UI.
* Note: Independent of the *mode*, all child elements are always rendered and processed by the client/server.
* Pills are 'dynamicUpdate' aware. `title` and `mode` are optional recalculated during 'dynamicUpdate'.
* FormElement settings:
* *name*: technical name, used as HTML identifier.
* *label*: Label shown on the corresponding pill button or inside the drop-down menu.
* *mode*:
* *show*, *required*: regular mode. The pill will be shown.
* *readonly*: the pill and it's name is visible, but not clickable.
* *hidden*: the pill is not shown at all.
* *modeSql*:
* *type*: *pill*
* *feIdContainer*: `0` - Pill's can't be nested.
* *tooltip*: Optional tooltip on hover. Especially helpful if the pill is set to *readonly*.
* *parameter*:
* *maxVisiblePill*: `<nr>` - Number of Pill-Buttons shown. Undefined means unlimited. Excess Pill buttons will be
displayed as a drop-down menu.
Type: templateGroup
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*TemplateGroups* will be used to create a series of grouped (by the given *templateGroup*) *FormElements*.
*FormElements* can be assigned to a *templateGroup*. These *templateGroup* will be rendered upto *n*-times. On 'form load'
only a single (=first) copy of the *templateGroup* will be shown. Below the last copy of the *templateGroup* an 'add'-button is
shown. If the user click on it, an additional copy of the *templateGroup* is displayed. This can be repeated up to
*templateGroup.maxLength* times. Also, the user can 'remove' previously created copies by clicking on a remove button near
beside every *templateGroup*. The first copy of a templateGroup can't be removed.
* FormElement settings:
* *label*: Shown in the FormElement-editor *container* field.
* *maxLength*: Maximum number of copies of the current *templateGroup*. Default: 5.
* *bsLabelColumn*, *bsInputColumn*, *bsNoteColumn*: column widths for row with the 'Add' button.
* *parameter*:
* *tgAddClass*: Class of the 'add' button. Default: `btn btn-default`.
* *tgAddText*: Text shown on the button. Default: `Add`.
* *tgRemoveClass*: Class of the 'remove' button. Default: `btn btn-default`.
* *tgRemoveText*: Text shown on the button. Default: `Remove`.
* *tgClass*: Class wrapped around every copy of the *templateGroup*.
E.g. the class `qfq-child-margin-top` adds a margin between two copies of the *templateGroup*. Default: empty
Multiple *templateGroups* per form are allowed.
The name of the native FormElements, inside the templateGroup, which represents the effective table columns, uses the placeholder
`%d`. E.g. the columns `grade1`, `grade2`, `grade3` needs a *FormElement.name* = `grade%d`. The counting will always start with 1.
The placeholder `%d` can also be used in the *FormElement.label*
Example of styling the Add/ Delete Button: :ref:`example_class_template_group`
Column: primary record
""""""""""""""""""""""
If the columns `<name>%d` are real columns on the primary table, saving and delete (=empty string) are done automatically.
E.g. if there are up to five elements `grade1, ..., grade5` and the user inputs only the first three, the remaining will be set
to an empty string.
Column: non primary record
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Additional logic is required to load, update, insert and/or delete slave records.
Load
;;;;
On each native *FormElement* of the *templateGroup* define an SQL query in the *FormElement.value* field. The query has to
select **all** values of all possible existing copies of the *FormElement* - therefore the exclamation mark is necessary.
Also define the order. E.g. *FormElement.value*::
{{!SELECT street FROM Address WHERE personId={{id}} ORDER BY id}}
Insert / Update / Delete
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Add an *action* record, type='afterSave', and assign the record to the given *templateGroup*.
In the parameter field define: ::
slaveId = {{SELECT id FROM Address WHERE personId={{id}} ORDER BY id LIMIT %D,1}}
sqlHonorFormElements = city%d, street%d
sqlUpdate = {{UPDATE Address SET city='{{city%d:FE:alnumx:s}}', street='{{street%d:FE:alnumx:s}}' WHERE id={{slaveId}} LIMIT 1}}
sqlInsert = {{INSERT INTO Address (`personId`, `city`, `street`) VALUES ({{id}}, '{{city%d:FE:alnumx:s}}' , '{{street%d:FE:alnumx:s}}') }}
sqlDelete = {{DELETE FROM Address WHERE id={{slaveId}} LIMIT 1}}
The `slaveId` needs attention: the placeholder `%d` starts always at 1. The `LIMIT` directive starts at 0 - therefore
use `%D` instead of `%d`, cause `%D` is always one below `%d` - but can **only** be used on the action element.

.. _`field-value`:
FormElement.value
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default this field is empty: QFQ will fill it with the corresponding existing column value on form load.
For a customized default value define: ::
{{SELECT IF('{{column:RE}}'='','custom default', '{{column:R}}') }}
For non primary records, this is the place to load an existing value. E.g. we're on a 'Person' detail form and would like
to edit, on the same form, a corresponding person email address (which is in a separate table): ::
{{SELECT a.email FROM Address AS a WHERE a.pId={{id:R0}} ORDER BY a.id LIMIT 1}}
Report syntax can also be used, see :ref:`report-notation`.
.. _`report-notation`:
FormElement: 'Report' notation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The FE fields 'value' and 'note' understand the :ref:`Report` syntax. Nested SQL queries as well as links with SIP encoding
are possible. To distinguish between 'Form' and 'Report' syntax, the first line has to be `#!report`::
#!report
10.sql = SELECT ...
20 {
sql = SELECT ...
5.sql = SELECT ...
}
.. _fe-parameter-attributes:
FormElement.parameter
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* The following parameter are optional.
* Each parameter has to be on a single line.
* If a parameter is defined multiple time, the last one is the final one.
* Comment lines have to start with ``#``.
* See also documentation at specific *FormElement*.
