Title: Refresh Drop Field
Post by: jvillasenor on September 04, 2012, 08:14:38 AM

Hi All

I am new in NetTalk and am converting one of application to web, well Logon startup I'm stuck and use the following:

 Logon:       Field
 Password: Field
 Company: Drop Field

The Logon User is typed and is looking in one Table, this apparently works. DONE!

in this embed we get the User ID, and we ​​use:
  p_web.SetSessionValue ('F1: USER_ID', F1: USER_ID)
and i get the correct ID.

In the Drop I have a filter:
 'VIPR01: ALIAS_ID =' & p_web.GetSessionValue ('F1: USER_ID')

What's going on:

Upon entering the Logon Form, and I click on the Drop of Company are as many names as I have in the table users, why?

After entering the Logon, does not filter or where I have to tell you to do a refresh to Drop?

Many thxs

I'm not sure why, but if the filter fails it returns all records. I test all my filters in code for that very reason. So I add something like this in embed code:

If p_web.GetSessionValue ('F1: USER_ID') = 0
  loc:wasfilter = '1=2'
Else
  loc:wasfilter = 'VIPR01: ALIAS_ID =' & p_web.GetSessionValue ('F1: USER_ID')
End

In which embed, i put the initial Filter in :
FIRMA_ALIAS = (Compoanies related)
Value Routine
  L:FILTER = ''VIPR01:ALIAS_ID =0'

in the start works fine, but when i get the User ID where i put the other embed.

I usually just stick something like 'xxx' in the template filter  and then search for this in embed code and then pick the best embed point from there.

HI,
Should there be a space in between 'F1:'  and 'USER_ID'
All through your examples there is, and surely that would cause unpredictable behaviour?

as long as it matched the place he set it, it will be ok.

ie - The space itself is not a problem. If the SessionValue name is not the same of course then there will be a problem.

Post by: jvillasenor on September 05, 2012, 08:36:42 AM

Hi All,

In this moment works as i want, i do the following:

Create a Local Variable (CSTRING 255) to handle the Drop Filter
In the Drop Field filter i put this local variable in this case L:FILTER

In the Drop Field -> 4 Valur Routine (5000) i put the following Embed
!----Drop Filter
IF p_web.GetSessionValue ('F1:USER_ID') = 0
   L:FILTER = 'VIPR01:ALIAS_ID=0'
 ELSE
   L:FILTER = 'VIPR01:ALIAS_ID='&p_web.GetSessionValue ('F1:USER_ID')
END

In the Logon Filed -> 3 ValidateValue Routine (5000)
Here i put a code to check our users then
DO refresh::DROP_FIELD

Works!!!

Hi JM,

cool - glad you got it working. If you wanted to do the same thong without the local variable you can use the Choose statement.

Filter:
Choose( p_web.GetSessionValue ('F1:USER_ID') = 0, 'VIPR01:ALIAS_ID=0', 'VIPR01:ALIAS_ID='&p_web.GetSessionValue ('F1:USER_ID'))
