Hi all,
Not sure if I'm missing something very obvious here... I've got a form
with several pages which should just show information text (there
isn't a question, or asking for a response from the user), for example
in response to criteria, or just to separate sections of the survey.
The form I have (exported from EpiSurveyor) includes several <bind
type="xsd:information"....> elements - it has uploaded and validated
ok to my ODKAggregate server and loads on the ODKCollect client too -
just that all the xsd:information screens are never rendered in
ODKCollect. The form can be seen at:
https://hew-datacollect.appspot.com/formXml?formId=Form1ANCfirstvisit&readable=true
Is there something else I need to do to get a page to appear with just
some text? Wasn't sure if this was an issue with my form or with
ODKCollect. I had a look at the ODKBuild online tool and it doesn't
seem to be possible to add these types on elements to forms using this
tool either.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex
hey alex,
the problem here is that episurveyor deviates from the xforms spec,
but doesn't deviate in the same way the rest of the javarosa community
deviates.
the data types (information, radio, checkbox) are episurveyor
specific. moreover, the javarosa library (and thus odk collect)
doesn't recognize the output tag as a control widget. long story
short, it's a valid xform and we make a good faith effort to render
it, but when we don't know what the tag is, we don't show it.
if you want some sort of output, try something like this:
hello world
yaw

Thanks Yaw, that makes sense.
I'll have a play with your example code.
Cheers,
