Calendar in WorkFlow Template

philipcz

When I do a New Job for a work flow I would like to add a Calendar option to the workflow Template. Sorta Like a call out. I was wondering if anyone has added a calendar to the Work flow Template so that a usr can select a due date before the workflow starts.

Thanks

sure.

it is easy

my $cCalendar = "<input type='text' size='15' value='$defaultDate' /> <a href='/iw-bin/wf_calendar.ipl' target='_new'>Calendar</a>";

my $uDeployAtDate = __VALUE__('uDeployAtDate');
my $uDeployAtTime = __VALUE__('uDeployAtTime');

In the TAG info section

uDeployAtDate => [html => "$cCalendar", is_required => 'true', label => "Delayed Deployment Date", valid_input => '/^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}$/', error_msg => 'Please enter Delayed Deployment Date in proper format (MM/DD/YYYY)',],

Thanks Andy
All that make sense, put I have one small issue. I just did a search on my server, and I do not have iw_calendar.ipl
could I ask a favor, can you send me the script at phil@quotient-inc.com
I would really appreciate it

Thanks In advance

What version of TS do you have ?
There is a calendar_YYYYMMDD.ipl shipped with TS 6.x

I think this is a part of "Sample content" available on the support site for TS 6.0.

For 5.5.2 I think it is a tech note. See if you can find it.

It is the same code as is used in templates.

I found it here:
CGI Calendar
Knowledge Base Article: 48813
Type: Tech Note

Synopsis
Details

The cgi calandar is a script to use in a data capture template to populate text fields with a user-selected date. The current date is pre-selected by default.

Attachments:
Calendar1.1.zip

it is called z_calendar.ipl

philipcz

Well I got the calendar to come up, but when I click on a date I get this message:
Fatal Callout error. Did you close the Data capture window

You'll probably have to make some changes to this calander script as it was intended for use with data capture templates (hence the error message) rather than workflow. Without looking at the perl script, it probably has hardcoded paths to return it's value to the data capture template.

The code fragments I sent were from a WF.

Are you certain the callout is executing properly ? It does not sound as if it started

philipcz

I think Luke is correct, I looked at the z_calendar code , and it points to datacapture stuff.
Yes the calendar comes up correctly, but the issue in the below function. This function is not setting or seeing the the element on the parent window
I have a working knowledge of javascript, and it is going to take me a little extra time to figure this out. Up until this function all is working great.

If I could have a peak st your wf_calender.ipl. This would speed up my troubleshooting time by 10 fold.

function set_datacapture_item_value( selectedValue )
{
if ((window.opener == null) ||
(window.opener.closed))
{
return false;
}

var calloutForm = eval($form_name);
if (!calloutForm)
{
return false;
}

var calloutElementFound = false;
for ( i = 0 ; i < calloutForm.elements.length ; i++ )
{
if (calloutForm.elements.name == '$element_name')
{
calloutForm.elements.value = selectedValue;
calloutElementFound = true;
break;
}
}
if (!calloutElementFound)
{
return false;
}

return true;
}

Thanks

After much reading, and after much troubleshooting, I got it to work. Luke was right, I had to make some charges to the how the window.opener id referenced in the script. By giving the form name and the element name to windows.opener, I now write back to the parent form.

Thanks for the code snippets

I just checked my Win iw-home 6.1 and couldn't find it either. Could this be a Solaris only goodie?
Are you sure you didn't code up /iw-bin/wf_calendar.ipl in your sleep or just plain forgot how it got there?
No biggee... just thought I'd throw it into a demo for tomorrow.

Hi Phil,

Would you mind to share you solution? How do I modify the wf_calendar.ipl to set the value back to the element on the parent window?

Thanks,

That is great.

For Consistency's Sake (if using the referenced calendar in a DCT and would like to use the same calendar in a workflow)... has IWOV or anyone else adapted this to work in a workflow startup form?

Hi Andy! I was wondering, would you be able to send me your wf_calendar.ipl script please?

Thanks!

I have this working now, but in your example you give the target=_new so I have nasty little scrollbars and the browsers toolbars etc.
I am able to re-size on load, and also get rid of the scoll bars in the body, but I still can't turn off the toolbars. Is there a different way to open the window from this screen that gets rid of those? I tried a window.open, but could not get that to work.
my $cCalendar = "<input type='text' size='15' value='$defaultDate' /> <a href='/iw-bin/wf_calendar.ipl' target='_new'>Calendar</a>";

Michael

Hi David

window.open is probably your best bet for that sort of functionality. Perhaps if you post up what you have tried we might be able to spot something?

Cheers

All working now! I went back to the basics... made sure I could get onClick=alert('foo') to work first Smiley Happy

then expanded from there. I think before I had too many "" or something... anyway I am attaching my wft, and ipl. This IPL requires the calendar from http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ .

I am just using this with the configurable_author_assignment wft, so replace the wft in your solutions directory.
Plase the .ipl in the iw-home/httpd/iw-bin directory, and as I said download the dynarch javascript calendar.

I am not sure I like the way I'm calling back to the form, but in order to make the ipl so that i could use it for more than just due date I have it passing in the formname and fieldname in the url. If anyone improves on this let me know.

Thanks all.
