Adding replicant items via FormAPI

bcnichols

Hello,
I am looking for a way to dynamically add or remove replicant items on a DCT from a callout window using FormAPI. So the DCT calls out to a CGI, the user interacts with that CGI and base don their input, replicant items are added or removed from the appropriate container on the parent DCT.

Anyone done this before?

Thanks,

Brian

what version of FormAPI? There are more capabilities in 6.5.

Apologies...we are using 6.1...is this a capability that is available in the 6.5 FormAPI?

You say it's not that it can't be done...any recommendations for how to do it in 6.1?

Thanks,

Sorry, I looked back and read that you only wanted to add and delete the replicants and not perform other functions on them (which is why I deleted my previous post). I don't believe 6.1 can do this at all, at least not without a serious JS hack. Perhaps you could call the JS function that's responsible for adding / deleting replicants directly from the callout?

Well that's disappointing...you don't happen to know what the JS function is do you? I will continue to push for 6.5 upgrade here I guess...and in the meantime I'll have to figure out another way to do this I guess...

Thanks for your help....

I was actually trying to look for that before I wrote my last post, but it's buried. I'll let you know if/when I find it though.

Take a step back from adding replicants via a callout and what are you trying to do, exactly? Maybe there's completely another way to do this.

Okay, so there's a function called "add_rep" and rem_rep" (pasted below). Each function takes one argument and that's the ID of the replicated to be added/deleted. I don't know if it starts at 0 or 1 (my guess would be 0), but you can play around with that. Line breaks are in here only for cosmetic reasons.



function add_rep( replicant )
{
    document.forms['<%= request.getParameter("formname") %>'].action = '<%= request.getParameter("action")%>LINE BREAK
&requestHash=<%= request.getParameter("requestHash") %>&dc_op=add_rep&dc_op_target=' + replicant;
    document.forms['<%= request.getParameter("formname") %>'].submit();
}

function rem_rep( replicant )
{
    document.forms['<%= request.getParameter("formname") %>'].action = '<%= request.getParameter("action")%>LINE BREAK
&requestHash=<%= request.getParameter("requestHash") %>&dc_op=rem_rep&dc_op_target=' + replicant;
    document.forms['<%= request.getParameter("formname") %>'].submit();
}
