Web Server - Ask For Help / Using [Enter] to select an item from a Popup Lookup
« on: January 11, 2012, 04:05:42 PM »
We have a new NetTalk 6 site where the users have asked us to make what seems like a small change.
There is a form that has a couple of popups on fields asking for codes etc. The associated popup lookups work perfectly fine if the users CLICK on the lookup record and click on SELECT to bring them across.
However, years of habit means that a lot of users are simply pressing ENTER when they have highlighted the lookup record they want. All this does is close the Lookup popup without returning any data.
Any way that we can change the functionality of this feature to that an ENTER will also do a SELECT on the popup lookup?
Cheers,
Devan

Web Server - Ask For Help / Multiple web sites on one server
« on: January 03, 2012, 05:20:41 PM »
I seem to recall that when NT5 was released, there was talk of having a 'hosting framework' that would allow multiple NetTalk apps to be hosted on the one server, with one IP address?
From memory, the NT apps would have to be compiled as DLL's and then loaded up into the 'framework'?
I also seem to remember that this is how Capesoft actually host their own multiple web sites on the same box?
However, I cannot seem to find any documentation on this - can anyone give me any pointers?
Thanks,
Devan

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Xfiles question
« on: December 25, 2011, 05:44:37 AM »
John,
Are these for Global app settings such as web server port number etc.? If so, do you need them threaded? You should be able to set them to non threaded, then read them using X-Files upon app startup to set the Global variables that will affect the app as a whole.
But if you are talking about user preference setting for each person that logs into your web app, then that is far better handled as extra fields within your user table.

I'll echo Kevin's words... 
I must admit when I first saw NetTalk a few years back, I thought "Nice, but a little bit constrictive and inflexible..."
Now I see how wrong I was. This past few months we have built 4 quite largeish web portals with it, and every day working on those projects I have been floored with the power and flexibility of the templates.
I am also surprised how stable and nice NT6 is, considering the mammoth amount of features that were added to the original core.
Thanks Bruce and the team. Have a happy, relaxed holiday period, and talk to you in 2012...

Web Server - Ask For Help / Making specific fields active on a View form...
« on: December 21, 2011, 03:56:28 PM »
I have a view form which the user can call up to show product information. However, I would like to place a memory variable on this form, and a button, which will do a quick price calculation and display it on the same form.
Any way to easily make one of two fields 'active' again on a NetWebForm which has been show via the 'View' button?
Thanks!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Extra text on a browse TOTAL line?
« on: December 21, 2011, 03:53:25 PM »
I've got a browse (a list of invoice items) working on an app, and I have use the 'Totaling' tab on the invoice values to give a nice total of customer invoices at the bottom of the browse.
Now, my client has requested that BEFORE the total amount, I place the text 'Total of all Current Invoices:' and AFTER the total amount, I place the text '(Inc. GST)'.
Any easy easy way to add text to the total line via the templates?

« on: December 21, 2011, 04:37:40 AM »
Bruce,
Thanks for the lengthy and VERY informative post! I had a little bit of an idea about jQuery selectors from other projects, but I had NO idea at all that I could use p_web.Script() to embed js scripting within my NetTalk pages...
Very very interesting indeed...this opens up a whole new world!

Thanks for the reply Bruce.
Terry - Haha, that is the way that I ended up doing it finally. The client expressed a preference for 'no decimal places' to be entered, but are happy if the field magically converts to an integer field as soon as the user tabs off it.
I saw this code snippet on the netz which would (I think) solve my original issue of 'real time' prevention, but alas, I don't think there is a way I can embed other javascript event handling code in the <input> control?
Bruce - perhaps incorporate a prompt in the templates for adding attributes to the form fields?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Entry picture tokens
« on: December 20, 2011, 04:20:10 AM »
Hi all,
I know that you can use standard Clarion picture tokens to display data in Browses (e.g. @N10.2) but can you do the same to validate data entry?
I have a form where the user should only be able to type in a whole number, but at present, they can type decimals too. Any way to restrict this and validate when they try to move off the field? Even better, can we prevent them from typing a '.' or any other non numeric character in that field?
Thanks,
Devan

« on: December 19, 2011, 11:40:43 PM »
John thanks for your tips. I tried Bruce's suggestion and it worked great with little effort, so I didnt get around to trying your method.
I actually had this all set up earlier, but I had a stupid bug in my drop down filter code so was getting nothing in the drop down regardless of what I did!
All works now - thanks Bruce!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Disabling inline buttons on a browse
« on: December 19, 2011, 11:34:46 PM »
Bruce - thanks, your suggestion worked a treat.
I thought the options under the 'Form' tab only worked for the buttons UNDER the browse, I didn't realise that the conditionals worked for the buttons INLINE within the browse as well. Handy tip to file away!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Refresh a drop based on another form field
« on: December 19, 2011, 05:58:28 AM »
Hi all,
I have a form with a few entry fields on it, and a drop field at the end.
One of the first text fields specifies a filter condition for the drop field at the end.
How do I get the list of items in the Drop field to refresh when the text field is changed?
(NT6.09 by the way, on C8)
Thanks!
