[html-formfu] Re: Date field and rendering a hidden field

[Zbigniew Lukasiak]

And here is some debugging I've done:

DB<3> s
HTML::FormFu::Element::Hidden::string(/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/HTML/FormFu/Element/Hidden.pm:17):
17:         my ( $self, $args ) = @_;

DB<3> n
HTML::FormFu::Element::Hidden::string(/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/HTML/FormFu/Element/Hidden.pm:19):
19:         $args ||= {};

DB<3> p join ', ', Class::C3::calculateMRO( ref $self );
HTML::FormFu::Element::Hidden, HTML::FormFu::Element::_Input,
HTML::FormFu::Element::_Field, HTML::FormFu::Element,
HTML::FormFu::base

DB<4>
HTML::FormFu::Element::Hidden::string(/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/HTML/FormFu/Element/Hidden.pm:21):
21:         my $render
22:             = exists $args->{render_data}
23:             ? $args->{render_data}
24:             : $self->render_data;

DB<4> s
HTML::FormFu::Element::render_data(/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/HTML/FormFu/Element.pm:124):
124:        return shift->render_data_non_recursive(@_);

Normally it should go to HTML::FormFu::Element::_Input::render_data
here - but it jumps to it's parent class.

I am rather lost here - looks like a C3 problem.

Cheers,
Zbigniew
