Dev - Lookup Form Widget Question

Is there a way to pass a parm to a lookup form?

I’m trying to have the lookup for filter out records based on a partyId. I was looking to have my main form do something like this:

</field>

Then, the bsh for the form would be able to query WorkEffortAndPartyAssign for the given partyId….but that didn’t work.

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated

Re: Dev - Lookup Form Widget Question

Michael,

There is an attribute to lookup that is not in the schema file. It is
"target-parameter". I would commit it, but I am having trouble
connecting to the svn server.

It should be the name of a field in the form. In your case, "partyId".
It will get the value of that field and send it to the server as
"parm0=<value>". So, it is limited to fields in your form, but you
should be able to add just about any hidden field if you need to.

You can have more than one parameter in target-parameter. Separate them
with ",".

Thanks Al.

When I used "target-parameter", it doesn't appear that call_fieldlookup2 can
handle the third parameter. Was fieldlookup.js also modified to support
this?

function call_fieldlookup2(target, viewName) {
var fieldLookup = new fieldLookup1(target);
fieldLookup.popup2(viewName);
}

Re: Dev - Lookup Form Widget Question

Michael,

It appears that you have an out-of-date version. The latest version has
a second, "arguments", parameter in the fieldLookup1 constructor call. I
thought this was changed a while back, so you may want to catch up.

function call_fieldlookup2(target, viewName) {
var fieldLookup = new fieldLookup1(target, arguments);
fieldLookup.popup2(viewName);
}

Hey Micheal,

I got to thinking that your idea for fixing this was worth putting in.
Would you mind testing it before it gets committed? I hacked up two
patch files because I had other changes in them; so you will have to
patch them by hand. And I included a method from the fieldlookup.js
that needs to be replaced.

If you can't get to it, it will eventually make itself into the base.

Thanks,

-Al

P.S. This will make you an official deputy psuedo-committer. Your secret
decoder ring will be sent by special courier. :0)
