[luci] how to transform multi input to one uci cfgvalue

[Steven Barth]

Hi,

please try this:


1. Create a new view e.g. luasrc/view/cbi_timeval.htm like this

<%+cbi/valueheader%>
	<input type="text" class="cbi-input-text" onchange="cbi_d_update(this.id)"<%= 
attr("name", cbid .. ".hour") .. attr("id", cbid ..".hour") .. attr("value", 
(self:cfgvalue(section) or ""):match("(.*):?.*")) %> />
: 
	<input type="text" class="cbi-input-text" onchange="cbi_d_update(this.id)"<%= 
attr("name", cbid .. ".min") .. attr("id", cbid ..".min") .. attr("value", 
(self:cfgvalue(section) or ""):match(".*:?(.*)")) %> />
<%+cbi/valuefooter%>


Important are the includes at the beggining and the end, and that the id, name 
and value attributes are correct. The rest can be adapted.

(self:cfgvalue(section) or ""):match(".*:?(.*)") will only match the part of 
the configvalue behind the : whereas (self:cfgvalue(section) or 
""):match("(.*):?.*") will only match the first part of the real config value.


2. In your Model do something like this.

somename = s:option(Value, "option", "name") -- or whatever creating a Value
somename.template = "cbi_timeval" -- Template name from above
somename.formvalue = function(self, section) -- This will assemble the parts
	local hour = self.map:formvalue(self:cbid(section) .. ".hour")
	local min = self.map:formvalue(self:cbid(section) .. ".min")
	if hour and min and #hour > 0 and #min > 0 then
		return hour .. ":" .. min
	else
		return nil
	end
end


That should be enough. This is a quick solution that just came to my mind, I 
think it should work.


Have a nice day.
