Hi Jane

Thanks!

Coincidentally I found the same way late last night from ChatGPT, but did not try to implement.

Got it working this morning by adding this to the "send new value to server" embed

   p_web.Script('document.title="' & clock() & '";')


Pretty handy, multiple tabs, can display client name, quote nrs, order nr, status etc...
Hardest thing to do now is decide what to display and to keep it short enough

NTWS covers so much thought there might be a builtin method.

thanks again

Johan

Hi Ron

No,
Its the 'Orders' with the red logo which is on one of the browser tabs.
Currently it's generic, but would be good to have the actual order number there or the quote nr,
if multiple tabs are open

I have added an attachment that currently show multiple tabs with the order nr , this is loaded at page loading,

Trying to see if I can change that text while the user is on the form, eg. when it's a quote and the users converts to a confirmed order, then change it from the quote nr to the order nr.

This is not critical, but a nice touch, and would be good to know how to access that data as it might have other uses for feedback.

This is an example of Bitfinex crypto trading exchange updating the price live

Hi Ron

Apologies, my question probably was not clear, seemed very clear to me when I was typing it

See the attachment

On the procedure General TAB, I can specify the page title and I can use a session variable
Looking in the code it is loaded with this line
p_web.MakePage('OrderMasterForm',Net:Web:Form,p_web.site.LoginRequired,p_web.GSV('my_title'),,,)

So I'm hoping to change that to a dynamic quote nr, or an order nr as the user changes the status on the page.



I also possibly created confusion with this line , Ignore this
p_web.ntForm(loc:formname,'setTabHeadingText',0,clip(loc:quote_tab_text))



thanks

Hi,

How to update the browser tab heading dynamically as a user changes fields on a form.
eg. change from quote to order , then to change the browser tab description from the quote nr to the order nr


Changing a tab heading I used the following
p_web.ntForm(loc:formname,'setTabHeadingText',0,clip(loc:quote_tab_text))

I see the this line in the webhandler when the page is created 
p_web.MakePage('OrderMasterForm',Net:Web:Form,p_web.site.LoginRequired,p_web.GSV('my_title'),,,)

However cannot find how to update the browser tab


thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Pass a Session Variable as a parameter?

« on: November 25, 2025, 08:20:43 AM »

Hi Jane

Thanks , I do pass p_web into other functions and have that working when it's functions that work with p_web and session variables,
but in this case it's a function that only receives a stringtheory object and then populates the data.

It's unaware of which specific session variable to load or unaware that it's a NTWS

I have it working with a temp stringtheory object, was just looking at it and thinking there was a way to reference the session variable as a stringtheory obect and then pass that in.


thanks

Hi,

Sorry had to add, this is how I am doing currently.

my_tmp_st  stringtheory

     MyFunction(my_tmp_st)
     p_web.SSV('session_var',my_tmp_st.GetValue())

Hi,

Sure I know this but it's buried in the year end brain fog of too much screen time and not enough down time....
Think I might even have asked this somewhere, sometime, but cannot find the answer.


How to pass a session variable to a function.

As I understand session variables are stringtheory objects, so if I have a function like
MyFunction(stringtheory tmpstr)

How do I pass a session variable into that function without using intermediary strings



thanks

« on: September 02, 2025, 10:02:06 PM »

Hi,

How do I check the actual Post request?
Having some issues and want to make sure that all the bits are in the correct places.

Current specific error that I'm getting is that the bearer token is invalid, as far as I can it's good and has not expired.
So want to see what the post data actually looks like, complete with header etc...

thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: 2Step process - Bearer token - OAuth?

« on: September 01, 2025, 09:38:45 PM »

Hi Jane

Thanks for detailed reply as always!

I'm glad to report after reading your reply and method, it's the route I am busy with.
Feels good to know I am on the right path

After reading the OAuth docs, I also went the route of doing my own thing.
I've done quite a few different API's but not the 2 step process.
Just seemed more simple and in control than trying to understand the OAuth process.
I'm almost done, so far so good.

All seems pretty simple, and thanks to NT and the Codewriter takes an enormous amount of time, pain and possible mistakes out of it.

thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / 2Step process - Bearer token - OAuth?

« on: September 01, 2025, 08:29:09 AM »

Hi,

Looking to get some JSON data from a 3rd party API server tracking , Fedex

I have to request the bearer token using credentials, and then use the returned bearer token to fetch the data.
The bearer token expires after an hour.

Before I dive in and code the 2 steps , this seems to be exactly the same as OAuth.
Am I on the right path?

Or as simple to code the 2 steps?

thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Table update Netwebform with popup memory forms

« on: August 20, 2025, 11:56:16 PM »

Hi,

I have a table update FORM, the master.

On it I have a few buttons that call small popup forms that also update some of the same table fields, the popup form are memory forms.
These fields are sometimes display fields on the master FORM, sometimes not.

It all seems to work and the table fields from the popups are updated and saved, but still testing the process to make sure all is reliable.

The way I undestand is that the Table update form will write the record from the session variables?

Is there anything to follow to make this process 100% reliable?
eg. call a certain sync routine to ensure all is good?

Is there perhaps a webinar or resource that discusses simialr process that will be of use?


thanks

Hi Ron

Yes have to agree with that.
However it's good to attempt and get things to look as PRO as possible as well as easy as possible

Hi Bruce/Jane/Ron

Thanks for all your input and ideas thus far, thought I should give some feedback.

There are 2 seperate issues that have contributed to my slow request problem.

1)
Initially I thought it was the DB access but this only seems to be an issue if the Browse row is refreshed, then it seems to read through the whole file.
If the whole Browse is refresh this is not an issue.

2)
The other issue which Jane alluded to was the dropbox creation.
Each EIP dropbox has about 30 options and on a large browse (80 lines) this is a fair amount as each line has all the options.

The code that generates the dropbox is very quick and the page completes however it seems that once it's done and hands back to the browser,
the JS could have a problem with the complex html and there is a slowdown with the refresh.
I don't have any experience in this area, so can't confirm 100%
Again hoping that the example will either confirm or point our where I'm going wrong.

Have created and submitted 2 example apps, either to confirm the issues or where I am doing something wrong.



To solve my issue for now, I refresh the whole browse, and I removed the EIP dropdown , instead used a popup update window to update the qty.

thanks,

Johan
