is there a PrimeFaces widget like this jQuery UI widget?

[rhume]

Hi --

It looks like PrimeFaces is partially based on jQuery UI. I need a widget like the "Choice 1, Choice 2, Choice 3" row of buttons shown on this jQuery UI page (in the top left under "buttons):

http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/

Is there a way to get a widget like this in PrimeFaces?

I'm currently using PrimeFaces 2.2.

Thanks!

Hi,

Not yet, but there is an issue ticket.

Probably it will be in 3.0.M2.

There is a way that you can simulate this behavior, I do this for my app.

Unpackage the JAR files for the skins you want and put them in seperate folders under WEB-INF, I create a folder 'themes' under WEB-INF.

In web.xml set the Primefaces theme context param as so:

Code: Select all

  <context-param>
    <param-name>primefaces.THEME</param-name>
    <param-value>none</param-value>
  </context-param>

In your page create a dynamic link to the CSS stylesheet:

Code: Select all

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="#{request.contextPath}/themes/#{beanSession.theme}/theme.css" />

The EL expression above in the link determines which folder to look for the CSS file. I default the folder to redmond personally from a properties file.

A themeroller would be nice but this works as well.
