How to connect WebNodeCmds and WebNodeActions

JaredAllmond

I created a new module and a basic request handler.  I then orphaned WebNode: WebNodeCmd and WebNode : WebNodeAction.  I created a new child under WebNodeCmd, and set fEnabled, fPerms, and the _Nodetypes.  This command displays fine on the Function menu. 

My question, is fQueryString the only connection between the Cmd and the Action?  From the builder fundametals course, I recall the LL request handler parsed the objAction from the URL and somehow paired it with an Action-name script, but I am unclear exactly how this works.  Must I use the LL request handler?  Can I simply set the fQueryString to my request handler?  If so can I also do this dynamically and get the fFuncPrefix value using .module(), or must I hard code this value?

Thanks,
Jared

Hello Jared,

If you re-read section6 of the Builder course manual you’ll see how you can simply call yourrequest handler directly; however, if you want to use a WebNodeAction objectthen please re-read section 12 especially the part that talks about the LLrequest handler and how it looks for the WebNodeAction object.

 

I’m pretty surethat should answer your questions.
