[BUG] FormIt placeholders and :notempty & :default output filters

I’m trying to set up the checkboxes in my form to retain their checked/unchecked status after form was submitted with error, and i’m doing this:

... but even though the "Red" checkbox gets checked, it doesn’t remain so after submit. Obviously it is still perceived as empty by the filtering engine.

So to debug, i did:

which promptly outputed "+fi.red is: 1, fi.red not set" - which are contradictory of course.

Then i narrowed down the issue:

• I tested the :default and :notempty filters with template variables instead of placeholders, in the same form page, they work fine, so the problem is limited to filtering placeholders only.
• I tested the same filters with tv placeholders in getResources, and they work fine, so the issue is unique to FormIt.

Of course, i can always do:

and that works, but that doesn’t change the fact that the :default and :notempty filters don’t work properly for placeholders in FormIt, after submitting the form.

Ok, now for the boring part:
FormIt 1.5.5-pl
MODx Revolution 2.0.8-pl (traditional)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
XAMPP Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) PHP/5.3.4
mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev - 091210 - $Revision: 304625 (client and server same, afaik)
not using any accellerators,
no errors get generated in the cache log when i run the page in question


Hope this helps. If this is not a bug and i’m just being an idiot (i do that sometimes) please let me know anyway.
Thanks

EDIT: thought that it might be a caching problem, tried with [[!+fi.red:notempty=`checked=checked`]] instead - still no cigar.

I think I’ve got similar problems.

Trying to throw an error in input field name=contact_subject by a conditional statement but doesn’t work;

Above code will output ’your subject here’ in placeholder when loading page
when input has less then 4 characters it should trigger an error but doesn’t; placeholder is empty BUT value property is also empty!

Tested: [[!+fi.error.contact_subject:notags]] and it works fine. No <span class="error"> wrapped around error.
empty or !empty outputfilters also not having the expected result.


EDIT:
also found out that :notags output-filter doesn’t work in nested placeholder --> else=`[[!+fi.error.contact_subject:notags]]`]]" is empty, without :notags it will show value of the placeholder
Test it yourself http://www.myradon.net/, form at bottom of page (dev-server so could go offline)

So it looks like we’re having the same problem

I have the same Problem here

2.1.3-pl, concerns my gallery.

Hi,

It is very interesting did you manage with this issue? It seems I have the same situation with radio's buttons.

Hello there !

Is there a big problem / bug with FormIt and Output Filter, like :

This code return the Message Error :


But this, nothing !


These codes are in the same page !

The result of these code are :


When I try to use If, like :


No result !, I think the +fi.* parsed wrong though' any other snippet (If / Output filter / ...)
Any way to resolve this ?
